The FIA European Top Fuel Championship will have a new champion this season. The bad news is that reigning champion Antti Horto will not defend his title, but the good news is that the Finn will be at both Tierp Arena events with two goals, to win and break ET records!

Duncan Micallef made headlines in 2017 by claiming the FIA European Top Fuel Championship, being the first driver from Malta to achieve this great sporting goal. For his great achievements in the sport, Micallef was crowned ‘sportsperson of the year’ in Malta for both 2016 and 2017 as well. After the 2018 season, Micallef, Rune Fjeld Motorsport driver for many years, took a break from the championship. This season the popular Maltese Lion is back. Micallef will make his comeback at The Main Event and will compete in three of the five FIA European Championship rounds.

Great news from Denmark! After a 3-year break, Stig Neergaard is back in the FIA European Drag Racing Championship. The veteran Top Fuel racer, who finished in the top five of the title race so many times, wants to have some fun again. “We still have an awful lot of work to do on the car, but we will do everything we can to be ready in time for The Main Event,” said Stig Neergaard about his comeback.

Today, European Top Fuel Record Holder Ida Zetterström announced a new global partnership between Edelbrock Group and KW Parts (Klintberg & Way Group) to support her efforts in winning the FIA Championship driving for RF Motorsport. Edelbrock Group helped Zetterström in her successful first FIA Top Fuel season in 2022, where the team became the first to clock a 3.7-second pass in Europe and picked up their first FIA event win together at Tierp Arena in Sweden.
