The slogan of NASCAR Whelen Euro Series (NWES) is “Pure racing.” The series stands out because it consists of a cost-effective formula, magnificent cars, impressive sprint races, and no gimmicks.
Success hinges on each team’s ability to finesse the perfect setup, maximizing their car’s potential, while drivers unleash their talent and precision to conquer the track. Every driver enters the arena with an equal opportunity to triumph, making this an unpredictable contest of champions.
Let’s look into the history of the Whelen Euro Series and how it became one of the most spectacular races to watch in Europe. And most of all: how you can watch the action.
Formula One is the most popular auto racing in the world. Find out how to watch it all in our Formula One Viewer’s Guide!
The Euro Series History and Structure
Whelen Euro Series has changed its name twice; previously called Racecar Euro Series and Euro-Racecar NASCAR. It is NASCAR’s stock car racing series based in Europe.
Jerome Galpin’s family group, Team FJ, launched Racecar Euro Series in June 2008. They had their first race in France. In 2010, FIA approved it as an international series, and it was expanded to include more races in other European countries.
Euro Series Name Changes
In 2012, team FJ entered into an agreement with NASCAR to sanction the races. The name, therefore, changed from Racecar Euro Series to Euro-Racecar NASCAR. By adopting NASCAR’s rules and standards, it became NASCAR’s racing series in Europe.
The final name change from Euro-Racecar NASCAR to Whelen Euro Series happened in 2013 when Whelen Engineering became the title sponsor through to 2018. Another agreement was signed in 2017 that allowed Whelen Engineering to continue sponsoring the Euro Series until 2024.
Euro Series Cars and Drivers
There are four brands of cars used during the races:
- EuroNASCAR FJ 2020
- Chevrolet Camaro
- Ford Mustang
- Toyota Camry
Drivers are categorized as Gold, Silver, and Bronze and race in different championships according to their categories.
Gold drivers are top-tier professionals, Silver drivers are semi-professionals with high-level performances, and Bronze are amateur drivers.
In addition to Europe, NASCAR features great series in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Learn how to watch them all in our NASCAR Viewer’s Guide!
NWES Championship: The Four Categories
There are four categories of championships for the Euro Series drivers to compete in. Three of these are their own series. For American racing fans, you can see EuroNASCAR Pro like the Cup Series, EuroNASCAR 2 as the Xfinity Series, and Club Challenge as the Truck Series.
EuroNASCAR Pro Championship
This category is the highest level of racing. Gold, Silver, and Bronze drivers can participate in this championship. The season winner becomes the NWES Champion and gets a place in the NASCAR Hall of Fame inside the Whelen Hall of Champions. The Challenger trophy is awarded to amateur drivers, while the Junior trophy is given to drivers who are 25 years or younger.
EuroNASCAR 2 Championship
Only Silver and Bronze drivers can race in this championship. The Legend trophy is for drivers aged 40 and above. The Rookie trophy is awarded to drivers who are starting out regardless of their age or experience, while women fight for the Lady trophy.
Team Championship
Drivers sharing a car are considered a team. The points scored by them are added together. This applies to both championships, EuroNASCAR Pro and EuroNASCAR 2. The team with the most combined total points wins the team championship.
Club Challenge
The Club Challenge is where beginners and seasoned racers get the opportunity to experience the raw power of V8 engines. This unique event held on Friday mornings, consists of three 30-minute sessions. Drivers participate in a Free Practice session before selecting a reference time for the subsequent two timed trials.
Victory is not based on speed but on accuracy. The winner is the driver who comes closest to their reference time while earning the fewest penalty points for deviations.
