The garage stalls are humming and the NASCAR Euro Series aspirations are loud as Speedhouse officially confirmed today that Cypriot standout Vladimiros Tziortzis will return to the team’s cockpit of the #6 Ford Mustang for the 2026 campaign.
In a move that signals a win-now mentality for the French-based powerhouse, Tziortzis isn’t just returning to the grid – he’s pulling double duty. The Nicosia native is slated to compete in both the V8GP and OPEN championships, eyeing a historic sweep of the European theater.
Last season served as a foundational year for the Tziortzis-Speedhouse pairing. After clinching a solid seventh-place finish in the premier PRO standings, Team Owner Lucas Lasserre believes the data gathered and the chemistry built over the last twelve months have primed the #6 crew for a breakout year.
“To have a top-tier wheelman like Vladi is a massive asset for our program,” Lasserre stated. “We pushed hard last year to crack the top-10, but we aren’t satisfied. The level of trust between Vladi and our entire staff is the secret ingredient. We’re going to the track with total confidence that we can fight for the checkered flag every weekend.”
For Tziortzis the extension is about more than just racing; it’s about the culture within the paddock. Following a rigorous winter testing program at Fontenay, the 28-year-old noted that the team’s family-first atmosphere is what provides the mental edge needed to handle the grueling physical demand of a double-duty schedule.
“I’m hungrier than ever,” Tziortzis said. “Speedhouse isn’t just a race team; it’s a family. That’s what a driver needs behind them when you’re chasing a championship. With the support of Capital.com and my partners, the goal is simple: bring two trophies back to Nicosia.”
Tziortzis will be piloting the #6 Ford Mustang, as he takes on the best road-course specialists in the world. With the season opener in Valencia looming looming, the team is firmly established as a heavy hitter in the 2026 title hunt.
