The FIA European Drag Racing Championship, active since 1997, is recognized as the premier drag racing event in Europe, highlighting straight-line acceleration contests between vehicles.
Today’s Top Fuel Dragsters can accelerate from a standstill to over 300 mph in under four seconds, emphasizing the sport's advanced technical demands.
The championship features five vehicle classes: Top Fuel Dragster, Top Methanol Dragster, Top Methanol Funny Car, Pro Modified, and Pro Stock Car.
Races start with the activation of an electronic starting device called the "Christmas Tree," which starts and stops timers as vehicles cross the start and finish lines, respectively.
