All four drivers were leading their respective categories after day one and only Erbacher was able to improve her ET, while for the other three drivers their Saturday ETs were enough to remain in the number one position. Looking at the qualifying lists, it will be an exciting and action packed bank holiday Monday at Santa Pod Raceway. Saturday was hot, but the temperatures on Sunday, day two of qualifying for The Main Event, round one of the 2026 FIA European Drag Racing Championship at Santa Pod Raceway, were even higher and the track almost cooking. It made it even more difficult for the teams to find the right setup, but still there were numerous improvements and several changes in the qualifying order.

In Top Fuel Jndia Erbacher claimed the number one spot, while in Pro Modified and Pro Stock Marck Harteveld and Jimmy Ålund are the provisional leaders after the first day of qualifying for The Main Event. The extremely warm weather conditions made it difficult for the drivers and tuners to find the right setup for their cars at the first day of qualifying for The Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway, the first round of the 2026 FIA European Drag Racing Championship. For the thousands of spectators in the packed grandstands it was no problem as they enjoyed the great weather and spectacular racing. They will definitely come back for more on the

It’s the month of May and that means the start of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship at Santa Pod Raceway. After a far too long winter, it’s time to fire up the engines and unleash the thousands of horsepower of the most powerful and fastest accelerating vehicles on earth.

In just over a week, the FIA European Drag Racing Championship will kick off again with The Main Event at Santa Pod Raceway. For David Vegter and Vegter Pro Mod Racing, this most important drag racing championship in Europe remains their main goal for 2026. Additionally, the Dutch top team will compete in the FuelTech Motorsport UK British Drag Racing Championship. But the first test of the new season is scheduled for this coming weekend with The Doorslammers. In short, a packed calendar with many opportunities for success once again. After a season in which David Vegter, with the Vegter Pro Mod Racing ‘67 Camaro, was once again among the quickest and fastest combinations in the FIA European Pro Modified Championship, many hours have been spent in the team's workshop over the past few months to ensure they can play a leading role in this title fight again this year. For instance, the Camaro has been completely stripped down, inspected, and rebuilt. The blower has also been sent to Amer

It’s the month of May, and for Pro Dutch Racing, that means the start of the FIA ​​European Drag Racing Championship. After a successful first full season for Michel Tooren and his team with the Pro Dutch Racing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the next step is now being taken. As of this season, there is a new engine under the hood of the Camaro, which is not only lighter, but also more powerful. The main programme for the ambitious team is once again the FIA ​​European Pro Modified Championship, while Pro Dutch Racing will also compete in the remaining rounds of the FuelTech Motorsport UK British Drag Racing Championship. The first full season with the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 yielded several great results for Pro Dutch Racing. Last year, Michel Tooren finished in fourth place in the final standings of the FIA ​​European Pro Modified Championship, secured the second position in the Motorsport UK Pro Modified Championship, and reset his personal best three times, bringing it down to 5.8089 seconds.

Timo Habermann’s long-awaited comeback finally becomes reality. After a 6-year break, the 3-time FIA European Top Methanol champion from Germany will be back in action at The Main Event, round one of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship at Santa Pod Raceway. And although being out of competition for so many years, one thing is for sure, the Werner Haberman Racing driver will immediately be a force to be reckoned with. There was a time that the two Werner Habermann Racing drivers, brothers Timo and Dennis Habermann, were the men to beat in the FIA European Top Methanol (Dragster) Championship. In 2015 and 2018 the two brothers scored a one-two in the Championship with Dennis claiming the title and Timo finishing in second position. Timo claimed the FIA European title in 2009, 2010 and 2017! But after taking part in only one round in 2019, the corona pandemic caused a longer break, extended by business and family that took all their attention. But the Werner Habermann Racing team st
