The FIA World Motor Sport Council has approved the calendar for the 2026 FIA European Drag Racing Championship. The three familiar venues, Santa Pod Raceway, Tierp Arena and Hockenheim are set to play host to the four-event FIA European Drag Racing Championship campaign.

Bradley Head has been testing the FIM-E Super Street Bike water over the past two years as part of the JKE RaceWorks collective. While results haven’t quite gone to plan, Head has had a lot of quality experience on the European tour. Planning on stepping back next season, Head is looking to upgrade his Hayabusa significantly with the aiming of resuming competition in the toughest class in FIM-E racing in 2027.

Marcus Christiansen and father Claus ‘Speedy’ continued to rip up the record books in FIM-E Super Twin in 2025. The Great Danes continued to stamp out performance levels hitherto unseen with a naturally aspirated twin, with a 6.0779s at a non-championship event in Sweden in June getting below Bob Malloy’s long standing 6.09 that had been a target for the team for a while now. Not content with the ET mark, they also bagged a record class championship title at the end of a ferociously contested series.

By any measure it would has been a standout year for Per Bengtsson and The Beast team on their return to a full season in FIM-E Super Twin competition, but the Swedish veteran wanted more and has a few things to think about over the winter.
