London, 1 April 2022: With a new season of racing just around the corner, Advait Deodhar will join the Italian team- NOT ONLY MOTORSPORT in the EuroNASCAR 2 championship driving the #90 Chevrolet Camaro.
The Indian has one aim and that’s to go for the EuroNASCAR 2 title.

Deodhar made his way into EuroNASCAR 2 through the regularity based Club Challenge and made his competitive racing breakthrough at Brands Hatch in the 2021 season. The 32-year-old from Mumbai (based in London) scored his maiden NASCAR win to become the first Indian to park his car in Victory Lane in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series.

“I’m very happy to be back in EuroNASCAR. I have a lot of unfinished business from last year, unfortunately.” said Deodhar, who went through a difficult 2021. “It started off well but then I had a personal tragedy in my life and due to that, my head was not in the right space. I was expecting from the year to win the championship but unfortunately that didn’t happen. The plan was to step up to the next division this year, but I’ve got unfinished business in EuroNASCAR 2. I want to give it another shot and aim for the title and nothing less! I’m training very hard in the gym and with the simulator.
I’m moving to Not Only Motorsport for the season and am excited to see what this year has to offer. The team had a strong package in 2021, and the drivers always had a setup they were confident with.
The team is passionate and hungry to win and this is why I believe it’s the right move for me!”

Not Only Motorsport is a relatively young team in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, having joined the Championship in 2020. However, team owner Luca Giovanelli is a successful race engineer who spent many years in the Ferrari GT division and has engineered 5 Le Mans class victories! In 2021, the Italian organization scored its maiden EuroNASCAR 2 win in Belgium in the #90 Chevrolet – the car Deodhar will take over in the 2022 season.
With all his experience, the Indian is poised to take Not Only Motorsport to the next level.

The 2022 NWES season will kick off on May 13-14 at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain.
All qualifying sessions and races will be broadcasted live on EuroNASCAR’s social media profiles – YouTube, Facebook, Twitch – and on Motorsport.tv.

Advait Deodhar will be gunning for NASCAR glory once again in 2022!
