5TH EURO NASCAR TITLE FOR KENNOL OILS

The pinnacle of an amazing 2021 season has been reached last week. Former Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve claimed his 2 first wins in the series. While 2019 Euro NASCAR Champion Loris Hezemans clinched his 2nd Champion title. Becoming the youngest double-champion in history of the European NASCAR.

▌FINALS FOR HISTORY

They were still 5 drivers, before the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series 2021 finals, pretending to the title. And the tension was intense since the very first free practice on the Vallelunga track. Reigning Champion Alon Day set the fastest lap to take the pole position, closing the points gap on the top-ranking. The KENNOL ULTIMA products such as KENNOL ULTIMA 75W140 and KENNOL ULTIMA 15W50 did more than good. And each team and car had the proper weapons to dive into this last battle for the crown. Driver Jacques Villeneuve even confessed that “The car was really flying!”.

22 KENNOL-lubricated race cars were to hit the tarmac for the whole finals weekend. With titles to be awarded for the 3 categories. Vittorio Ghirelli scored many points in the 1st race, by clinching a 2nd position on the podium, taking a very good option for the Sunday race and for the title fight. But the true decider was Canadian…

▌2 GREAT PERFORMANCES

Indeed, former Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve claimed his maiden win in Euro NASCAR. The Canadian driver took the lead over reigning Champion Alon Day at the 1st turn, and kept the position till the end. He eventually received a 5-second penalty. But even under pressure of title contenders behind him, he managed to maintain a 6.3s gap to reach the Victory Lane!

Before the weekend, Hezemans had a 21-point lead for the title. Dramatically, before the Sunday, he only had 5 points ahead of Ghirelli. And 9 over fellow Italian driver Ercoli. Whoever wins the Sunday race, amongst those 3, brings the crown back home.

On this last 2021 race, Loris Hezemans takes the lead to Villeneuve right after the start. And while, behind, the 2 Italians struggle to maintain hopes for the win, Ghirelli crashes into the barriers! Meanwhile, Villeneuve with a bold move takes over Hezemans by the outside. And flies to his 2nd Euro NASCAR win ever! This performance settles another one: Loris Hezemans clinches the 2021 Champion ring. And becomes the youngest Euro NASCAR Double-Champion in History.
