Then Ryder followed with 43.32s, and Summers settled with 43.92s after a locking a wheel. The 2026 season begins in April at Prescot.

The Estonian Pro Mod racer beat Dutch opponent Michel Tooren in the final when a safety system malfunction deployed Tooren’ s braking parachutes at half-track. The Dutchman’ s supercharged Camaro had earlier clocked low elapsed time of the event with a career-quickest 5.808sec while Arnover’ s turbocharged Mustang set top speed at 254.68mph.
