NASCAR Euro Series – The Path to the Grid: January 30 Recruitment Tests Sold Out, 11 Drivers to Take the Wheel
The NASCAR Euro Series is proud to announce that the highly anticipated NASCAR Recruitment Test (NRT) scheduled for January 30, 2026, has officially reached full capacity. That’s why TEAM FJ opened extra availability on January 29. The roaring demand for these track sessions just shows this championship is the fast lane for top-notch drivers looking to punch their ticket to the big leagues of pro motorsport.
A worldwide roster of aspiring champions will descend upon the circuit to demonstrate their capabilities in the ultimate proving ground. The grid for the January 29-30 test features a diverse and prestigious lineup of international talent, highlighting the global reach of the series.
Representing the United Kingdom are Jacob Parry, Renan Cattucci, and Josh Wakefield. They will be joined by North American standout Brad Ranson (Canada). The European continent is heavily represented by Alan Saber (Austria), Maximilian Seth and Tyler Lauser (Germany), Sebastian Kuccera (Poland), Nathalie Neumann (Luxembourg), Alexander Wastl and Bence Varga (Hungary) 2025 Rookie Challenge standout Yann Cristovao, from France, will also be on track. The drivers are joined by experienced NASCAR Euro Series competitors Lucas Lasserre (Speedhouse) and Gil Linster (Rette Jones Racing).
The NASCAR Recruitment Program – details available at nascar.eu/recruitment – is widely recognized as the essential foundation for building a professional career within the NASCAR Euro Series. Far more than a simple track day, this program is a sophisticated talent identification initiative. It offers drivers the unique opportunity to showcase their potential directly to series officials, with the possibility of earning scholarships and financial support to launch their 2026 campaign. It remains the most direct and effective path for drivers to secure a seat in one of the most competitive touring car championships in Europe.
Due to the unprecedented volume of applications and the sold-out status of the January 29-30 event, TEAM FJ – the visionary promoter, founder, and owner of the NASCAR Euro Series – is currently evaluating additional test dates. TEAM FJ remains committed to ensuring that top-tier talent has every opportunity to join the series.
