After an impressive debut at Tierp Arena in August 2023, there was a long period of silence around Tina Høst Nedregård. But this season the Norwegian Swede will be back in the FIA European Top Methanol Championship.

A-Fuel Team Sweden, Bryntesson Motorsport, and Jonny Lagg Racing are extending their collaboration agreement with the ignition specialist NGK. The team’s Top Methanol dragsters will continue to fire on all cylinders using their world-renowned spark plugs throughout the 2025 season.

A-Fuel Team Sweden, consisting of the two drag racing teams Bryntesson Motorsport and Jonny Lagg Racing, are expanding its effort in the Top Methanol class with a junior initiative, A-Fuel Junior Team Sweden. Two juniors, Tindra Christensen, 21 years old, and Isak Lagg, 26 years old, are now moving from 800 horsepower in the Super Pro ET class to 5,000 horsepower in what is the second fastest class in drag racing – Top Methanol.

For Jonny Lagg the 2024 season started as a nightmare with seven ‘up in smokes’ and no decent ET on the scoreboards. The first turning point was the semifinal at the SpeedEvents Internationals where the Swede suddenly stormed to a winning 5.31 seconds. With the problems solved, Lagg ran a string of 5.3-second runs to claim wins at the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals and Hockenheim, and the 2024 FIA European Top Methanol title as the final result.

Tindra Christensen, 20, from Klagstorp outside Trelleborg in the south of Sweden, will start her licensing procedure for racing in the Top Methanol class. Tindra most recently comes from the Super Pro ET class in the Summit Racing EDRS Series where she finished fourth in the championship last year. With the help of Bryntesson Motorsport, she will take her licence later this year to be able to drive Top Methanol in the future.

Just like last year, Bryntesson Motorsport and Jonny Lagg Racing are competing under a common flag as A-Fuel Team Sweden in the Top Methanol class of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship. Both teams have their sights set high for this season, which begins at Santa Pod in England on May 24-27.

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.
