FIA European Drag Racing Championship resumes at Tierp Arena
After a long break, the FIA European Drag Racing Championship resumes with the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals at Tierp Arena, Sweden. The Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway, at the end of May, feels like ages ago, so it’s time to refresh the memory and start part two of the 2026 season. Reigning FIA European champion Susanne Callin is the leader in Top Fuel, but with Timo Habermann in Top Methanol, Andres Arnover in Pro Modified and Stefan Ernryd in Pro Stock, in all other classes the reigning champions have some work to do. But with one race done and still three to go, the championship fight in all four classes is still fully open. The Summit Racing Equipment Internationals, August 6th- 9th, kicks off part two of the most prestigious drag racing championship in Europe.

Jedborn Motorsport and Maxima Racing Oils Performance Auto - New European Partnership
A working trip to Gainesville, Florida, earlier this year has led to a new chapter for Jedborn Motorsport. While working for Randy Meyer Racing, the team had the opportunity to meet with Maxima Racing Oils. What started as a conversation about racing, performance, and the technical demands of drag racing, quickly developed into discussions about the future of the sport in Europe. With the availability of racing lubricants becoming increasingly challenging for many European teams, both parties recognized an opportunity to strengthen access to products specifically developed for high-performance motorsport applications. The result is a new partnership that will see Jedborn Motorsport become a European dealer for Maxima Racing Oils Performance Auto. Having used Maxima products and experienced their performance firsthand, the team believe the collaboration is a natural fit. More importantly, it reflects a shared commitment to supporting racers with the products and technical knowledge requ

Marck Harteveld resets personal best and claims pole position at Santa Pod
Marck Harteveld got off to a flying start of the 2026 drag racing season at Santa Pod Raceway. During The Doorslammers, he immediately reset his personal best from 5.852 to 5.811 seconds, and claimed the number one qualifying position for the opening round of the FIA ​​European Pro Modified Championship one week later with 5.818 seconds. Unfortunately, the speed was hardly rewarded while the Voodoo Hemi Racing crew went through some hectic weeks, as they had to work hard to get the ‘70 Plymouth Superbird race ready to the starting line again and again. Hard work does not always pay off; otherwise, Marck Harteveld and his Voodoo Hemi Racing team would certainly have had better luck during the two consecutive races at Santa Pod Raceway. Harteveld kicked off the season with The Doorslammers, which was primarily seen as a good preparation for The Main Event, the opening round of the FIA ​​European Drag Racing Championship. Harteveld finished this most important drag racing championship in
