Top Fuel licenced Dennis Nilsson eager to start a 2018 campaign

Dennis Nilsson didn’t make headlines with his final licencing run. No wonder, as the Swede had to do it on a cloudy and rainy Sunday, one week after the European Finals and without the die-hard drag race fans in the Santa Pod grandstands. But one attempt was enough and with 4.32 seconds at 272.11 mph Nilsson had his Top Fuel licence in his pocket. As the car is waiting in the workshop, the planning for a 2018 FIA European Top Fuel Championship campaign can really take off.

The European Finals, rain can’t stop the 2017 FIA European champions

The European Finals at Santa Pod Raceway was the sixth and final race of the 2017 FIA European Drag Racing Championship. Bad weather hampered the grand finale, but the champions couldn’t be stopped by the rain as they all reached the finals in their respective categories. With Duncan Micallef, Timo Habermann, Michael Gullqvist and Bengt Ljungdahl the FIA European Championship got the champions that deserved the titles the most, and luckily, the title race in all four classes was already decided before the rain brought an early end to the last event of the championship. The qualifying and eliminations results were published on Dragracingeurope.eu during the event, and all details can always be reviewed in the excellent live coverage on Eurodragster.com. In this article we look back at some highlights and notable events of the European Finals. Continue reading

Andy Robinson raced to the number one qualifying position in Pro Modified at the first day of qualifying for the European Finals, the sixth and final round of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship.

FIA European Championship reaches its climax at the European Finals

The 2017 FIA European Drag Racing Championship goes down to the wire with the European Finals at Santa Pod Raceway. In Top Fuel Duncan Micallef is the leader, but the Maltese driver saw Antti Horto reduce the gap with a win at Tierp Arena. The same is true for Bengt Ljungdahl in Pro Stock, as Stefan Ernryd came back in the title race with a win at Hockenheim and a runner-up finish at Tierp. In Top Methanol Timo Habermann is the clear favourite to claim the title, while in Pro Modified Michael Gullqvist will very likely retain his FIA European championship. But in racing strange things can happen, so nothing is decided yet. Continue reading
