Nelson Piquet Jr. part of the busy Euro Nascar program in Most
Former Formula 1 pilot is going to the Czech Republic. Jacques Villeneuve, for example, has appeared in this championship in the past.
NASCAR in Europe has changed considerably this year thanks to the stunning announcement that Nelson Piquet Jr. will join the strong racing stable Alumitec for the NASCAR Euro Series Championship V8GP 2026,
Former Formula 1 rider and Formula E World Champion, Piquet Jr., enters the garage with family tree, which deeply resonates with American racing fans. During its time in the United States, a Brazilian star proved to be able to compare with the best in the business, and recorded a historical resume throughout the NASCAR National Series. His 2012 season remains a benchmark for international contestants when he attributed a convincing win to the legendary Road America in the O'Reilly Auto Parts series and twice placed in the Craftsman Truck Series series in Michigan and Las Vegas. With 28 positions in the top ten series of Truck Series and one location in the top ten points in 2012 Piquet Jr. proved the resilience and mentality of hard work that are necessary for success in NASCAR machines.
In addition to the successes on the oval and road tracks in North America, Piquet Jr. comes with the prestige of the world champion. He entered history as the first FIA Formula E world champion in 2015, where he demonstrated a rare ability to handle cutting-edge technologies and narrow road circuits. His diverse career includes the peak of this sport in Formula 1 and several years of elite car competitions in South America, creating a profile of a rider who can adapt to any environment and find the limit of any car he pilots.
For Alumitec Racing, signing the contract is a key piece of the puzzle of the championship. Team leader and CEO Alain Lord Mounir have made it clear that the French organization will not settle for second place and spend all the resources available to ensure that the number 48 Ford Mustang will be the car to be defeated.
The Brazilian is in the 10th place before the weekend, but already this year he has managed to end up in the podium.
At the Czech Automotive Bridge, an experienced pilot will present himself this racing weekend with car 48.
