Racingfuel: Remo Lips strengthens Nascar team 🎥
NEW CHALLENGE The penultimate race of Euro Nascar 2022 will take place in Zolder, Belgium, from October 7 to 9. With Remo Lips, another experienced driver will be competing for the Racingfuel Motorsport team.
The Nascar Whelen Euro Series enjoys full grandstands like practically no other in Europe. The direct offshoot of the American NASCAR offers top-class international racing for a budget that is unbeatable in a direct comparison.
At the penultimate race of the season in Belgium (see teaser), the Racingfuel Motorsport team will once again go full throttle with its two Chevrolet Camaro in the Euro Nascar Pro and Euro Nascar 2 categories.
From the Ferrari to the Camaro
The team from Horgen consists of long-standing and internationally experienced racing drivers. After Lucas Luhr (D), Matthew Ellis (UK) and Yann Zimmer (CH), Remo Lips will once again take the wheel in Zolder. The Zurich native will be supported by team regulars Christoph Lenz and Alina Loibnegger.
Remo Lips (gallery, left) has already raced in various racing categories and, among other things, won the championship in his class three times in a row in the ADAC GT Masters. Now the 40-year-old is getting involved in Euro Nascar and will be competing in the Pro class with one of the two Camaros of the German-Swiss team.
Remo Lips: "In July, I had the privilege of driving a Ferrari 312P at the Le Mans Classic, where I was able to claim victory straight away. I'm delighted to now be driving a car that puts purist motorsport at the forefront. Of course, I'm also looking forward to the team, which I've known for a long time."
Pure driving fun
Lips shares the car with Christoph Lenz, another experienced racer who is part of the core team at Racingfuel Motorsport.
Christoph Lenz: "The Euronascar is a challenge. You really have to get to grips with the car. It's pure driving fun; this is where I can prove my skills."
Hunt for the Ladies' Trophy
Alina Loibnegger is fighting for the Ladies Trophy in Euro Nascar 2 with the second Chevrolet. After a sixth-place finish in the 2019 Club Challenge, the 27-year-old Austrian made her debut in this championship a year ago at the wheel of the Solaris Motorsport Camaro. She finished the 2021 season 20th overall and second in the Ladies' Trophy.
In 2022, Loibnegger switched to Racingfuel Motorsport and has already scored several podium finishes during the current racing season.
Alina Loibnegger: "I joined Racingfuel by a happy coincidence. After the first race in Valencia, it was clear to me that I wanted to compete for the Swiss team for the whole season. It's a super team and I'm having a lot of fun."
With a lot of heart and soul
The Racingfuel Motorsport team is pleased with the good driver constellation for the upcoming race. The drivers will get everything out of the two 400 hp Chevrolet Camaro with 5.7 liter naturally aspirated V8 engines. They will be supported by a team of internationally experienced engineers and mechanics.
Ferruccio Finkbohner, team manager and owner of Racingfuel Motorsports GmbH (gallery on the right), is confident.
Ferruccio Finkbohner: "We did well in the first EuroNascar races and learned a lot about the cars. In the process, we further optimized the performance. Now we are looking forward with anticipation and excitement to the penultimate race in Zolder. We're putting our heart and soul into it and giving it everything we've got so that we're back in the front ranks."
