join EuroNASCAR with
two cars in 2022
Aliyyah and Yasmeen Koloc, two 17-year-old twin sisters will
pilot a pair of Ford Mustangs, carrying number #29 and #47, in
EuroNASCAR PRO and EuroNASCAR 2.
Owned by Czech motorsport legend Martin Koloc,
Buggyra ZM Racing is one of the most successful
truck racing operations in the world. They won the
European drivers title six times, the teams’ title
five times, the Chinese championship three times
and the Indian championship once.
Founded in 1969, the team also won the 2021 Dakar in the T3 category and currently fields
entries in GT Endurance racing and the FIA Cross Country Championship, operating from five
different Technology Centers in Dubai (UAE), Jinan (China), the Czech Republic, France and
Spain.
“Our NWES participation is our first step into
NASCAR ‘territory’. We strongly believe in the
NASCAR concept in terms of extremely
competitive racing as well as a platform for
young drivers’ development and diversity,” said
Martin Koloc.
“We are very happy to welcome such a great team, which will
also field two talented young ladies who were very impressive in
their first testing sessions.
We fully share Martin’s vision about NWES
being the perfect platform to develop a
young driver’s career, in NASCAR of
course, but also in GT, prototypes, touring
cars and more,” declared NWES President
- CEO Jerome Galpin.
After taking part in the Club Challenge event at Most in August and testing the EuroNASCAR
car at the NWES test track at Fontenay Le Comte in November with great results, Aliyyah and
Yasmeen Koloc will become the youngest women to enter the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series.
By competing in both NWES
championships, they will aim at
maximizing track time and speeding
the learning curve in the most
competitive touring car series in
Europe.
Despite her young age, Aliyyah Koloc broke several records in the last couple of seasons.
She became the youngest ever winner in the French Truck Racing Championship in 2020
and she set two World Speed Records for trucks in the 500m distance. She also competed
in GT3 and touring cars races.
“I’m so excited for this new challenge
ahead of us! I tested a few times this year
and enjoyed it a lot. I can combine my
experiences from truck racing and GT
racing together,” said the future driver of
the #29 Ford Mustang.
Yasmeen Koloc will pilot the #47 Mustang. She started karting in 2019 and in the short span of two
seasons proved herself in touring cars racing by winning the 2020 Endurance TC-2.0 Championship
and debuting both in Formula 4 and GT4 where she won the last race of the ESET CUP season.
“I am very excited for the new challenge! It is
going to be really fun to drive the NASCAR car,
quite different from the GT4 but I’m really
looking forward to this new experience and I
think it’s going to be very fun!” said Yasmeen
Koloc.
