The NASCAR Euro Series is hosting its first NASCAR Recruitment Test (NRT) for the upcoming 2026 season on December 5th at the Circuits de Vendee in Fontenay Le Comte, France. This is the best way to test a NASCAR car prior to the 2026 season, which is set to begin on April 18 at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain.

This is the premier opportunity to become a driver in the closest, most exciting European touring car championship, which raced in front of more than 155,000 fans at the tracks and tens of thousands of spectators via the live free YouTube streams and TV coverage in 2025.

The NRT is the perfect way to test the 400 hp V8 EuroNASCAR car. Participants will experience pure racing with no electronic aids, no Balance of Performance, and equal cars where drivers and teams make the difference with skill and experience.

Interested drivers should contact the NASCAR Euro Series management and fill the form for the December 5th event and book their desired package. With customized solutions from TEAM FJ, owner, founder, and promoter of the NASCAR Euro Series, the NRT is the best way to start a NASCAR career in Europe.

The NASCAR Euro Series Championships

The NASCAR Euro Series consists of two championships for all levels of racers from around the world.

• The PRO division is the pinnacle of NASCAR in Europe, with the best drivers competing for the European NASCAR title. In addition, drivers up to the age of 25 battle for the Junior Trophy while elite amateurs fight for the Challenger Trophy.
• The OPEN division is the home of young talent and gentleman drivers. The Master Trophy combines rookies and rising stars in a special classification, while drivers over the age of 45 compete for the Legend Trophy. For female drivers, there’s the Lady Trophy.

The NASCAR Euro Series also offers the Rookie Challenge, a regularity-based format with time-attack rules designed to prepare drivers for the PRO or OPEN divisions in a friendly but competitive environment.

The EuroNASCAR Experience

The NASCAR Euro Series has grown in popularity over the past decade and is entering its 15th season under the NASCAR banner. The championship offers great exposure for drivers, teams, and partners to fans from all over the world – not limited to Europe as there’s a huge fan base overseas as well.

Drivers become gladiators at six of the best tracks in Europe. After the regular season, the playoff format with double points makes the championship battle unpredictable and exciting. Professional coverage, including live streams of the races, TV highlights, as well as social media and PR, round out the NASCAR Euro Series package that puts its drivers on a huge stage.

Drivers who submit the best overall package during the NRT will be eligible to receive scholarships to kick-start their NASCAR careers in 2026.
