To say that Tina Høst Nedregård impressed at her championship debut is an understatement. The 34-year old Norwegian finalized her licensing procedure at Gardermoen Raceway to claim the number one qualifying position less than a week later at the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals at Tierp Arena. Maybe even more impressive than the number one qualifying position was the way she controlled the car and the elapsed time. The 5.265 seconds on what was her second official qualifying run, was the third quickest pass in European Top Methanol history! And with a 5.30-second run in the first round of eliminations, she proved that it was no coincidence at all.

To say the father and son team of Speedy Claus and Marcus Christiansen are on something of a roll in Super Twin would be a major understatement. 2023 represented a fourth FIM-E championship in a row for Marcus on board their uniquely thought out injected V-Twin but they also went through the season undefeated and resetting their ET best with a stellar 6.105 at the end of it. We caught up with Marcus during the offseason and the bad news for the competition is the Danish duo won’t be resting on their laurels in 2024.

The fastest man in Falkenberg, Rikard Gustafsson took back a fourth FIM-E Top Fuel Bike title (and second in a row) to his southern Swedish base at the end of the 2023 season. For a number of reasons it was a challenging season in the class, both for the RG Engineering team and the class as a whole, but after resetting his own PB for ET and TS (pushing his own European best mark for the latter out to a phenomenal 260.65mph) and banishing the gremlins that appeared in the second half of the season, Rikard is looking forward to further performance gains and another championship run in 2024.

Michael Malmgren, patience and perseverance paid off

Michael Malmgren claimed the 2023 FIA European Pro Stock Championship in a nerve-wracking semifinal at the final round of the championship at Santa Pod Raceway. At the halfway point of the season, the title seemed to be far away for the Pro Stock veteran. But together with his team, Malmgren didn’t give up, his luck turned and at the European Finals it all fell into place with a new FIA European Championship as a result.

It was not a matter if, but when David Vegter would win a race of the FIA European Pro Modified Championship.
