Julien Rehberg quietly rose as one of the most promising young talents in NASCAR Euro Series PRO division – The German secured numerous top-10 finishes and aims at a place in the top-5
- Julien Rehberg adapted quickly to the intense competition in the PRO division
- The 19-year old is tenth overall after six races
- The German wants to improve his qualifying performance
Julien Rehberg proved himself as one of the most promising young talents to watch in the NASCAR Euro Series PRO division. The Bremotion driver stepped up to the top championship in 2025 after a season in OPEN and made a great impression with his string of top-10 finishes in Spain, Italy and the UK.
Rehberg is currently tenth in the overall standings, just 11 points behind his teammate Garrett Lowe. Lowe is also a rookie in PRO, but the “hybrid racer” carried years of NASCAR experience from his sim racing career. Therefore, Rehberg’s achievement shows that the 19-year old German has what it takes to become a top driver in the future.
Rehberg’s potential was unlocked through support from not only Patrick Brenndorfer’s Bremotion squad, but also his father Thies. Julien and Thies are the “perfect team”, always working to support each other no matter the situation. For them, the sky’s the limit and there’s no better way to reach the top than continued success in the NASCAR Euro Series.
“My dad and I can’t be separated,” said the driver of the #77 Chevrolet Camaro. “From my point of view, we’re the perfect team. Even when things don’t go as planned, we never give up and keep pushing harder. We work hard and always make the best out of the situation.”
“Top-10 is a good result, especially for my PRO season against the best NASCAR drivers in Europe. But I know I’m faster and can run further up the field. In the upcoming races, I want to move forward. My clear goal is to be in the top-5.”
Despite his young age, Rehberg is a calculating and analytical driver. Looking at the first three rounds, the German is aware that there’s one aspect that he must improve: single lap pace.
Rehberg has seen some struggles in qualifying, but he made up for it with his excellent racecraft. The German scored the bonus points for most positions gained twice, showing that he’s not afraid to duel with the best NASCAR drivers in Europe.
The driver of the #77 Chevrolet Camaro also acknowledges the need to stay consistent in the championship. He and Bremotion lost crucial points in Italy when teammate Happinessa’s crash in OPEN left him unable to race in Round 4, but he was back in full strength at Brands Hatch after another chassis was built up.
“My weak point is qualifying,” concluded Rehberg. “So far, I’ve always qualified too far back and had to make up for it in the race. The next qualifying needs to be better, then I’ll be right up front in the race – I’m sure of that. But the most important thing is to avoid more DNFs and always score solid points. Consistency is the key to success.”
There’s no doubt that Rehberg has what it takes to compete at the top in the highly competitive PRO division. Will Rehberg achieve his ambition of finishing in the top-5 and bring home some silverware? Find out when the NASCAR Euro Series returns for the NASCAR GP Czech Republic on 30-31 August. All races from the 2025 season are broadcast live on the EuroNASCAR YouTube channel and TV channels around the world.
