ONE FIA COURT OF APPEAL

CASE NO. ICA-2026-12-13.

ONE CHAMPIONSHIP &10 ARTICLES TO UNDERSTAND THE FACTS.

The FIA International Court of Appeal is scheduled on October 15, 2026 to hear the appeal arising from the events that took place at Brands Hatch on June 7, 2026 a case with potential consequences for drivers, championship points, sporting fairness and the final standings of the 2026 NASCAR Euro Series Championship.

With Zolder approaching and the season reaching its decisive stage, the Alumitec Racing Press Room, in collaboration with AX SPORTS, announces a special editorial series of 10 articles to be published over the next 21 days.

The objective: to go beyond the headlines, present the documented facts and give motorsport fans the information they need to form their own view.

NEUTRAL. NON-PARTISAN. FACT-BASED.

The 10 articles will be presented from a neutral, non-partisan and fact-based perspective.

Their purpose is not to influence public opinion or advocate for any party involved. The series of articles will report the facts, establish the chronology of events, examine the available documentation, and clearly distinguish established facts from the positions, arguments and interpretations of the different parties involved.

Where accounts or interpretations differ, those differences will be clearly identified and presented as such.

THE FACTS. THE TIMELINE. THE POTENTIAL IMPACT.

Across the 10 articles, the series will examine the chronology of the events at Brands Hatch, the circumstances surrounding the request for an engine inspection, the implications of the ATA Carnet, the technical and procedural elements of the case, and the subsequent appeal process.

The series will also examine the potential sporting consequences of the decisions under appeal, including their possible impact on the drivers, race results, championship points, sporting fairness and the final standings of the 2026 NASCAR Euro Series Championship.

OCTOBER 15, 2026 THE FIA COURT OF APPEAL

Particular attention will be given to the appeal scheduled to be heard by the FIA International Court of Appeal on October 15, 2026, under Case No. ICA-2026-12-13.

Without anticipating the Court’s ruling, the series of articles will examine the possible outcomes of the appeal, including whether the contested decision is upheld, overturned in whole or in part, or whether its sporting consequences are modified.

For each relevant scenario, the articles will examine what it could potentially mean for the race results, championship points and standings of the affected drivers, as well as the broader implications for the championship.

Until the FIA International Court of Appeal issues its ruling, any discussion of potential changes to results, points or standings will be clearly identified as conditional and hypothetical.

THE INFORMATION TO FORM YOUR OWN VIEW

By bringing together the facts, documentation, chronology and different positions surrounding the case, Alumitec Racing and AX SPORTS aim to give NASCAR Euro Series and motorsport fans a clearer understanding of what happened at Brands Hatch and what the outcome of the appeal could potentially mean for the championship.
