Micallef FIA EDRC outing will mark the first time when a reigning head of an FIA Member Club takes part in FIA-sanctioned drag racing event.

Micallef is, however, no stranger to the discipline, having clinched the 2017 FIA EDRC title in the fastest Top Fuel class, three years prior to being elected MMF President. Micallef returns to international competition for the first time since 2018.
