Hockenheim Drag Racing Finals Canceled Due to Curfew
WHY IT MATTERS
The cancellation of the finals at Hockenheim means that the FIA European Drag Racing Championship will conclude at the FIA European Finals, where drivers will compete for the championship title in a four-round event.
What happened
The FIA European Drag Racing Championship's finals at Hockenheim were called off due to the venue's 18:00 Sunday curfew. The delay was caused by a track clean-up following a fluid spill in one of the Sportsman classes.
Despite the cancellation, several drivers secured their places in the final rounds, including Susanne Callin in Top Fuel and Jimmy Ålund in Pro Stock.
The championship now moves to its fourth and final round at the FIA European Finals at Santa Pod Raceway in Great Britain from 10–13 September.
