The pinnacle of European touring car racing enters a new era with a name that embodies power, prestige and pure racing

• The NASCAR Euro Series PRO championship will now be known as NASCAR Euro Series V8GP
• The new identity reinforces the championship’s premium positioning and performance DNA
• V8GP reflects the raw power, Grand Prix intensity and global ambition of the series

Team FJ, founder and organizer of the NASCAR Euro Series, is proud to announce the launch of V8GP, the new name and identity for the NASCAR Euro Series’ top-tier PRO championship.

More than a rebrand, V8GP represents a strategic evolution designed to strengthen the championship’s international positioning, clarify its elite status and celebrate the essence of what makes the NASCAR Euro Series unique: authentic V8-powered race cars competing wheel-to-wheel on Europe’s most iconic circuits.

For over a decade, the PRO division has been the ultimate stage for professional drivers in European touring car racing. With the introduction of V8GP, that status is now reflected in a name that is bold, powerful, and instantly recognizable.

THE MEANING BEHIND V8GP

The new identity is built around two fundamental pillars:

V8 — the unmistakable roar and mechanical purity of naturally aspirated American engines. It symbolizes raw performance, tradition and authenticity.

GP — Grand Prix intensity. A reference to Europe’s greatest racing venues and the championship’s highest-level competitive standards.

Together, V8GP captures the fusion of American racing heritage and European motorsport prestige that defines the NASCAR Euro Series.

The logo itself reflects this philosophy. The strong black “V8” expresses power and solidity, while the dynamic blue “GP” conveys speed, innovation and forward momentum. The sharp lines and modern finish underline the championship’s ambition and premium positioning.

STRENGTHENING THE TOP LEVEL OF THE NASCAR EURO SERIES

NASCAR Euro Series V8GP will represent the highest level of Touring Car competition in Europe and within the NASCAR Euro Series structure.

It is the category where:

• The best professional drivers compete for the European Champion Title.
• Champions earn international recognition and within the NASCAR ecosystem
• Fans experience pure, unfiltered V8 racing
• Teams and partners align with a premium, performance-driven platform

The new identity enhances clarity between divisions while elevating the top championship’s visibility in international markets, broadcast platforms and commercial partnerships.

A STRATEGIC EVOLUTION

The introduction of V8GP marks another milestone in the long-term development strategy of the NASCAR Euro Series. By reinforcing its elite tier with a distinct and powerful identity, the championship strengthens its brand architecture and global appeal.

This evolution reflects the series’ core values: authenticity, accessibility, prestige, competitiveness and passion.

V8GP is a celebration of traditions mixing the best of both NASCAR and European Racing. It is the sound of eight cylinders at full throttle. It is the intensity of a NASCAR Grand Prix start. It is the pursuit of excellence at every level.

Welcome to the new pinnacle of European touring car racing.
Welcome to NASCAR Euro Series V8GP.
