Silvio Strauch showed up at The Main Event with a new Top Methanol dragster. The Engine Ghost Racing Team was plagued by severe tyre shakes for quite a few races with the wing breaking tyre shake at the 2024 European Finals as a low point. Time for some changes, although with racing in the same colours as before, not everyone will have taken notice of that during the opening round of the FIA European Championship at Santa Pod.

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.
