Marck Harteveld runner-up at Tierp Arena
Marck Harteveld claimed the runner-up position at the Summit Racing Equipment Internationals at Tierp Arena, Sweden, round two of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship. The Voodoo Hemi Racing driver, who finished seventh in qualifying, won his elimination rounds, reset his personal best to 5.852 seconds and advanced to the final. However, in a close final Harteveld lost to reigning FIA European Pro Modified champion Jere Rantaniemi. Harteveld is now in second position in the FIA European Championship, only one point short of the Finnish reigning champion. With two races to go, anything is still possible for Harteveld and his team Voodoo Hemi Racing.

End of the season and championship dreams gone. But the drag racing family once again proved to be the best in the world as a text message from Dave Wilson turned the world around again.

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.

Henry Riehl is living his dream at the moment. The German is just 22 years old and already racing in the FIA European Pro Stock Championship against multiple champions and experienced drivers from Sweden.
