NASCAR Euro Series brings U.S. stock car racing to some of Europe’s famed F1-style race tracks, with the season running from April through October—all airing on SI TV.
The second round of the season, NASCAR France GP, will be at Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24.
Saturday’s schedule will begin with qualifying at 3 a.m. ET, followed by the first V8GP and Open races. Then on Sunday, the second V8GP and Open races will be run, with qualifying starting at 3:30 a.m. ET.
Difference between V8GP and Open races
NASCAR Euro Series V8GP races are for top-tier, fully professional drivers driving V8-powered cars around Europe’s Grand Prix-level racing venues. The V8GP division was previously known as the NASCAR Euro Series PRO.
Races in the NASCAR Euro Series OPEN division are for amateur drivers.
