Rookie candidates will hit the track the day after the NWES Finals The NASCAR Whelen Euro Series 2021 Drivers Recruitment Program will return bigger and better with its fourth edition! Candidates from all over the world will have the chance to attend the NWES Finals at Valencia, Spain and hit the track on December 7, proving themselves on the same iconic 4-km road course that just crowned the 2020 EuroNASCAR champion. The best of them will receive financial support to join the official European NASCAR Series.
“The Drivers Recruitment Program has proven to be very successful over the years, bringing many great talents to the series,” explained NWES President CEO Jerome Galpin. “It also offers opportunities to drivers to discover the unbelievable skills of our EuroNASCAR cars. Who can imagine they are today one of the fastest touring cars in Europe, equalling the performances of the best TCR and GT4 cars? But they are also a lot more fun to drive and by far less expensive to run. Nearly everyone testing a EuroNASCAR car comes back with a ‘wow, this is really much better than what I expected!’ So I encourage every driver to take a shot at a test! They will understand why some of the best drivers in the world love to drive our cars.”
