As the NASCAR Euro Series heads to the United Kingdom, all eyes turn to one of the most iconic venues in world motorsport: Brands Hatch.
Located in Kent, just outside London, Brands Hatch has been a cornerstone of international racing for decades. Having hosted Formula 1 World Championship events, touring car battles, endurance classics, and countless historic moments, the circuit remains one of the most respected and demanding tracks in Europe.
For Alumitec Racing, Brands Hatch represents both a challenge and an opportunity. Its unique layout combines high-speed commitment, elevation changes, blind corners, and unforgiving braking zones that reward precision and punish mistakes. Every lap requires total focus, making it a true driver’s circuit.
The famous Paddock Hill Bend immediately tests a driver’s courage and confidence. From there, the flowing sequence of corners demands perfect rhythm and vehicle balance. Success at Brands Hatch is never accidental it is earned through preparation, teamwork, and execution.
Alumitec Racing arrives in the United Kingdom with one of the strongest lineups in the NASCAR Euro Series paddock.
Leading the charge is Nelson Piquet Jr., one of the most accomplished drivers in international motorsport. With experience at the highest levels of racing, including Formula 1, Formula E, NASCAR, and endurance competition, Piquet Jr. brings invaluable knowledge and championship-caliber experience to the team.
Joining him is reigning EuroNASCAR champion Gianmarco Ercoli. Renowned for his consistency, racecraft, and ability to perform under pressure, Ercoli has established himself as one of the benchmark drivers of the series. His understanding of the EuroNASCAR platform makes him a constant threat for victories and podium finishes.
Completing the lineup is Canadian standout Raphaël Lessard. A proven winner in North American stock car racing, Lessard continues to impress with his speed, determination, and rapid adaptation to European competition. His development throughout the season has positioned him as one of the drivers to watch heading into the Brands Hatch weekend.
Behind the wheel, however, success is only possible through the dedication of an entire team. From engineers and mechanics to strategists and support staff, every member of Alumitec Racing plays a critical role in preparing the cars to compete at the highest level.
As the championship battle intensifies, Brands Hatch could prove to be a pivotal moment in the season. With a talented driver roster, a committed technical team, and growing momentum, Alumitec Racing is ready to take on one of motorsport’s greatest stages.
The challenge is clear.
The objective is simple.
Compete at the front. Fight for victory. Continue building the future of Alumitec Racing.
Brands Hatch awaits.
