Vladimiros Tziortzis is satisfied with the opening round of the NASCAR EURO SERIES for 2026, which took place at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia this weekend. Things could have been better for the Cypriot driver, but he is holding on to the important points he scored and is looking forward to the future with optimism.

A demanding weekend for the SPEEDHOUSE driver, as will be the other five rounds of the season, as he is participating this year in two categories, V8GP and OPEN. Tziortzis recorded a 4th and a 5th place in the OPEN category, while in V8GP he was 11th in the second race.

“We collected a lot of points and that satisfies me. Certainly, things could have been better in the V8GP, since in the Thursday practice we recorded the sixth best time overall. Therefore, I think we could have chased the top five, if we hadn’t had the mechanical failure on Friday, where the brakes failed on the last corner of the track and I ended up on the wall with the front of the car at 200km,” he said.

“But I was definitely lucky that the chassis didn’t bend and I was not harmed because then I wouldn’t have been able to race at all that weekend, because it was an unprecedented moment for me to be heading towards the wall with so many kilometers without even 1% of brakes available and expecting to crash in the next few seconds.”

It is worth mentioning that through their participation in the race in Spain, Tziortzis and capital.com support the Cyprus Red Cross. All the two-day races were broadcast on television by Cytavision.

Tziortzis’ platinum sponsor is Capital.com, while his efforts are also supported by his sponsors ISX Financial, Paidby, Cytavision, as well as his supporters: Alco Filters, Psaltis Auto Parts, Televantos Used Trucks, Daytona Raceway, Serenity Boutique Houses and Sana Hiltonia.
