The second round of the season at the iconic Circuit Paul Ricard once again showcased the competitiveness of SpeedHouse Racing, with strong performances across multiple categories and valuable championship points collected throughout the weekend.
One of the highlights was Vladimiros Tziortzis’ OPEN pole position, rewarding the hard work of the entire team and confirming our ability to fight at the front of the field.
The results achieved throughout the weekend also allowed SpeedHouse Racing to secure an excellent 3rd place in the Team Championship standings, a collective achievement that reflects the dedication and hard work of our drivers, mechanics and engineers.
Beyond the results themselves, the overall competitiveness displayed by the SpeedHouse cars was one of the key takeaways from the weekend. The pace was there in every category, allowing the team to consistently battle at the front and further establish its position among the championship’s leading teams.
As we continue to build momentum, the entire SpeedHouse Racing family remains focused on pushing even harder in the upcoming rounds and turning this strong performance into even greater success throughout the season.
MAXIM VAN LAERE
Two strong races here at Paul Ricard. We finished P2 in Masters and P9 overall, a great result that we’re really happy with.
It’s also positive for the championship, as we are in a strong position for the rest of the season.
Now it’s time to focus on Brands Hatch, where we’ll keep pushing for the best possible overall result.
YANN CRISTOVAO
The first session was mainly about getting into the rhythm and finding my marks.
The second one was a bit more complicated. We finished with around 1.3 seconds of penalty, which is quite a lot, and that placed me around 6th position.
For the final session, I managed to stay positive and really stay focused. We finished with only one tenth and a few hundredths of a second gap, which is a very good result. Thanks to that, I made it onto the podium with a 2nd place.
I am currently 2nd in the Rookie Challenge championship, only 1 point behind the leader.
VLADIMIROS TZIORTZIS
We are here at Paul Ricard, and overall I’m very happy with the results, especially considering the circumstances.
Saturday, we finished P5 in V8GP and P3 in OPEN despite a flat tire. Sunday, we finished P5 in OPEN and P11 in V8GP after some contact.
I’m pleased that we were able to finish the races and score good points. Now, we keep pushing for the championship titles.
NUNO CAETANO
Currently 10th in the PRO championship, we continue to build race after race and keep pushing forward. Now it’s time for the next round: Most, Czech Republic.
Ready to fight for more points and keep moving up the standings.
BRAD RANSON
Just finished here at Circuit Paul Ricard with race two of the weekend.
Overall, today was a much better race than yesterday. We finished P17, one position higher, but more importantly, the overall drive and performance were much better.
We also finished P3 in the Team standings, so overall it was a good weekend for the team.
HENRI TIMONEN
Yeah, today was pretty hard because I didn’t do so well in qualifying. But the pace was much better on Sunday for the second race. I’ll keep doing my best and we’ll see how it goes.

« For NASCAR’s return to France at Circuit Paul Ricard, I’m obviously very pleased with the results we achieved, but above all with the attitude, commitment, and professionalism shown by the entire team.

Before even talking about the sporting results, I would like to extend a huge thank you to the entire team.
« From a sporting perspective, we worked extremely well throughout the weekend. We secured pole position in OPEN, set the third-fastest time in V8GP, and placed our drivers on the podium in nearly every category.

« These results are very encouraging for the rest of the season. We will continue to work with the same determination to achieve the best possible results, but this weekend was a very positive one in every respect.
