  • Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Bobby Labonte will make his full-time debut in the series, following his debut at Brands Hatch in 2017, driving the No. 18 RDV Compétition Toyota Camry in Elite 1.

Team changes

  • For the first time in the teams history, Braxx Racing will field an Elite 2 driver other than Jerry de Weerdt. Former pro cyclist Tom Boonen and fellow Belgian Pedro Bonnet signed with the team to drive in Elite 2. Braxx also expands into a three-car team with the addition of the No. 91 car into the team, with the No. 91 car fielding the new Camaro chassis instead of the Mustang chassis.[9]
  • Hendriks Motorsport (not to be confused with Hendrick Motorsports that currently competes in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series) supported Team Raceway Venray during the 2016 season but will now enter under their own name. The car is owned by Loris' father, former touring car racer Toine Hezemans.

Manufacturer changes

  • NASCAR Whelen Euro Series will update their Chevrolet body style into a Camaro ZL1-based body style, in line with the move made by Chevrolet in Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series that also introduces a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 body style replacing the Chevrolet SS body style that have been used since the inception of the Generation 6 body style in 2013.[24] Despite this, due to lack of available parts, all Chevrolet teams were using the Chevrolet SS body in Valencia and Franciacorta.
  • BFGoodrich will become the series sole tyre supplier {{{{{1}}}|date={{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}}}. The 100% Michelin subsidiary takes over from the parent company which supplied tyres for the series since its inception in 2009.

Mid-season changes

  • The Camaro body debuted at Franciacorta after the #91 Braxx Racing team made a switch to a Camaro body between Race 1 and Race 2 of the race weekend, with their Elite 2 driver Tom Boonen would become the first driver to use the new Camaro body in a NWES race. Later on in Brands Hatch, both PK Carsport cars, Solaris Motorsports' #12, and DF1 Racing's #66 would also switched to the Camaro chassis for the weekend, with Race Art - Blu Mot's #31, The Club Motorsports' #41, and Memphis Racing's #77 also changed to a Camaro chassis during the course of the week due to problems in their originally entered cars.[19]
  • Starting from Brands Hatch, CAAL Motorsport's #54 team used a Toyota chassis, while Racing Total's #46 team used a Ford chassis.
  • Belgium Driver Academy made its debut at Franciacorta, running the #7 Chevrolet SS for Martin Doubek and Maxime Pampel, both previously driving the #5 Renauer Motorsport Ford Mustang at Valencia. The team also replaces Renauer Motorsport, who folds for the rest of the season.
