For its eighth year, the fast-growing NASCAR Whelen Euro Series will stage 24 races in six different countries on the Old Continent, bringing exciting racing and American-themed entertainment to European fans.
For the 2016 season, the series will debut an aggressive aerodynamic package (with dynamic front section and eight-inch rear spoiler) inspired by the American NASCAR Sprint Cup Series cars, thus strengthening the racing bond between the United States and Europe.
A new Italian venue will host the series Semifinals: Adria Raceway, located close to world famous Venice, will enter the calendar September 16-18 with a double-points event.
“We are very proud to work with such amazing track partners and can’t thank them enough for their efforts,” said NASCAR Whelen Euro Series President and CEO Jerome Galpin “This calendar is a great mix of mythic tracks like Valencia, Brands Hatch and Zolder and challenging ovals like Raceway Venray and Tours Speedway.
“We are also very happy to welcome Adria Raceway in the NASCAR Family. All these partnerships are based on great human relationships with a common goal to deliver the best racing show to European fans.”
