Top Fuel Dragster driver Duncan Micallef, the president of the Malta Motorsport Federation, announced that he would be racing again in at least three rounds of the 2023 FIA European Championship.
Micallef is not new to this championship.
In September 2016, he set a new track record of 3.89 seconds at Santa Pod.
The following year, he was declared the fastest European driver and won the FIA European Top Fuel Dragster Championship, the quickest type of motorsport in the world.
Micallef is returning to the championship after not competing for four years.
Locally Micallef has been chosen as Sportsman of the Year for two consecutive years, 2016 and 2017, during the Sport Malta Awards – Għażliet Sportivi Nazzjonali.
Micallef confirmed that he will still be presiding over the Malta Motorsport Federation and, together with his team, will continue to manage the various projects currently undertaken by the Federation.
Micallef’s first debut is at the FIA/FIM Main Event at Santa Pod between May 26 and 29.
