Bremotion has finalized its 2025 NASCAR Euro Series roster – Beside Dominique Schaak, Garrett Lowe, Julien Rehberg and Happinessa will compete for the German team
- Bremotion confirmed three drivers ahead of the 2025 EuroNASCAR season opener
- eNASCAR driver Garrett Lowe and youngster Julien Rehberg will race in PRO
- Influencer Happinessa will debut in the OPEN division
Dominique Schaak was the first driver to be confirmed for the 2025 NASCAR Euro Series, but now his team Bremotion has announced three more drivers to drive the #99 and #77 Chevrolets. Garrett Lowe will partner with the German in the #99 Camaro to race in the PRO division, while Schaak will continue to compete in the OPEN division. Rising star Julien Rehberg moves up to PRO to share the #77 Chevrolet with influencer and EuroNASCAR newcomer Happinessa – Vanessa Neumann – who will compete in the championship under her social media alias.
Lowe was brought to Bremotion by top German sim racing team BS+Competition, led by Florian Hassper. Bremotion’s team manager Patrick Brenndorfer saw the American put in many fast and consistent laps during the DRT program of TEAM FJ in France, which paved the way for Lowe to enter the NASCAR Euro Series. The youngster is a proven race winner in the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series and also made his first real racing steps in the Prodigy Racing Series. He dominated the Prodigy regular season with four wins and secured first place in the championship standings. By entering the 2025 NASCAR Euro Series season, Lowe will take his first major step toward a professional racing career in the United States.
“I’ve spent years racing NASCAR virtually, and now I get to take on the challenge in the real world – on some of Europe’s most iconic tracks,” he said. “The BS+ Bremotion project is truly special and I’m honored to be a part of it. The Prodigy Racing League gave me the chance to prove myself in a real race car, and now I’m taking that momentum into the NASCAR Euro Series. The support from the series has been incredible and we’re here to make a difference. I can’t wait to get started.”
BS+Competition CEO Haasper added: “Garrett Lowe is the perfect example of how sim racing talent translates into real world success. From winning in eNASCAR with us to leading the Prodigy Racing League standings, his next step into the NASCAR Euro Series is a natural progression. Partnering with Bremotion allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible between virtual and real racing. The support of the NASCAR Euro Series organizers, especially Jerome Galpin and his TEAM FJ, has been invaluable in making this project a reality. The same goes for Garrett’s partners Nitro Concepts, MOZA Racing, MAHLE and the SimRacing Expo.”
Another driver moving up to PRO is Rehberg from Haltern am See in Germany. The youngster was one of the Rookie Trophy contenders in the 2024 OPEN season and showed a steep learning curve at the wheel of a V8 beast without any electronic aids. The 19-year-old will take on the elite of NASCAR in Europe in only his second year in the series, competing for the Junior Trophy in the PRO championship, which is dedicated to drivers under the age of 25. Rehberg is certainly one of the youngsters to watch. In 2023, Bremotion became the first German team to win a race in PRO, and the rising star wants to keep the momentum going for Brenndorfer’s team.
“I know it won’t be easy, especially in the first few races, but I’ve set myself clear goals,” said the ambitious German. “A top-10 finish is a must for me, but my focus is clearly on the top-5. Last year went really well and I was able to improve from race to race. The competition will be tough, especially as there are a lot of experienced drivers who probably know the car and the tracks better than I do, but I always tell myself: if they can do it, so can I.”
After competing in the Rookie Challenge at Autodrom Most in 2024, influencer Happinessa tasted NASCAR blood. The 35-year-old enters the series with touring car experience and is looking to make his mark in the OPEN divisions. For the Madeira, Portugal-based German, joining EuroNASCAR is a great way to empower women in motorsports and further her social activism. She will share the #77 Chevrolet with Rehberg and compete for the first time in her career at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain.
“This year marks my first season in the NASCAR Euro Series and I can’t wait to get back on the track,” she said. “I immediately felt comfortable in the NASCAR car when I took part in the Rookie Challenge in Most in 2024. That experience motivated me to get back into motorsports full-time. Now I am facing a double challenge: I have to get to know the car even better and at the same time master all the new tracks. As a woman in motorsports, I want to encourage other women to follow their path in this industry and to be strong. My commitment to cancer research is particularly important to me. Under the motto “Race Against Cancer”, I actively support cancer patients and their families. With Bremotion, I have a strong team at my side and I’m really looking forward to the start of the season.”
The 2025 NASCAR Euro Series season kicks off April 12-13 at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain. Qualifying and all races will be broadcast live on EuroNASCAR’s YouTube channel and on numerous television networks around the world. Bremotion has established its team on the grid over the past two years, and with two PRO race wins already in the bag, the German organization is looking to take the next steps towards the top of NASCAR in Europe.
