Euro Nascar Summer Nights

I attended the EuroNASCAR Summer Nights at Raceway Venray and really enjoyed the event. It was not only my first time seeing EuroNASCAR live, but also my first visit to Raceway Venray and my first experience with oval racing.

The NASCAR races were exciting to watch, with plenty of close battles and a style of racing that is quite different from the road circuits I usually follow. Seeing these cars race on an oval gave me a new appreciation for this type of motorsport. The support classes also provided good entertainment throughout the day and contributed to a varied programme.

Raceway Venray itself is a simple circuit, but also a unique one. There are very few places in Europe, and certainly in the Netherlands, where you can experience this kind of oval racing. Despite its modest facilities, the circuit has a character of its own and offers good views of the action.

What makes the experience a little bittersweet is the fact that EuroNASCAR will not return to Venray after this year. As someone discovering both the championship and the circuit for the first time, it is a shame that this was also the last opportunity to see EuroNASCAR race at this unique Dutch venue.

Overall, it was a well-organised and enjoyable event with good racing, a relaxed atmosphere, and a special setting that I am glad to have experienced at least once.
