Vladimiros Tziortzis (born 6 April 1997) is a professional racing driver from Cyprus currently competing in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series. He pilots the No. 1 EuroNASCAR FJ 2020 for Academy Motorsport within the EuroNASCAR pro category. Prior to his stock car career, he competed in the Formula Renault Eurocup and SMP F4 Championship before making the switch to stock car racing in 2020.
Racing career
Starting his karting journey at just five years old, Tziortzis dominated the Pancyprian Karting Championship by securing titles across multiple categories for seven straight years. He also represented Cyprus three times at the International ROK Cup Finals, achieving his best result of 13th place in 2008.
In 2014, after testing vehicles in Formula Renault 2.0 and Euroformula Open, he made his competitive debut in Formula Masters Russia during 2015. The following year, he advanced to the SMP F4 Championship where he concluded his rookie season 13th overall, highlighted by two sixth-place finishes. In 2017, he improved to tenth in the standings, earning several podiums including two third places and a runner-up finish at Moscow Raceway.
The year 2018 saw Tziortzis join Fortec Motorsports to compete in the Formula Renault Eurocup. He also took part in post-season testing with JD Motorsport in 2019.
Transitioning to stock car racing in 2020, he signed with Alex Caffi Motorsport—later renamed Academy Motorsport—to drive the No. 1 Ford Mustang in the EuroNASCAR 2 division. This move made him the first Cypriot driver to enter NASCAR competition. During that season, he achieved two podium finishes and eight top-10 results, securing fourth place overall with a total of 365 points. Academy Motorsport retained him for the 2021 campaign where he earned five podiums, claimed a pole position at Circuit Zolder, and finished sixth in the championship.
In 2022, Tziortzis continued with Academy Motorsport but switched to car No. 5 alongside teammate Patrick Lemarié. He won the opening race of the season at Valencia and accumulated seven podiums throughout the year, ultimately finishing third in the championship standings.
On 14 December 2022, it was confirmed that Tziortzis would move up to the EuroNASCAR PRO category for the 2023 season, remaining with Academy Motorsport behind the wheel of their No. 5 car as he made his debut at this higher level.
