On September 10, 2026, Stark Future's Jonas Skovby broke a 14-year-old track record at the Autòdrom de Sitges-Terramar. He completed a lap on the Stark VARG SM Sköll in 41.888 seconds, surpassing Carlos Sainz's 42.600-second record from 2012 by 0.712 seconds. The Terramar oval, built in 1923, has largely been abandoned since the 1920s and is now slated for redevelopment. The record-breaking attempt was part of a project with Alpinestars and DC Shoes, aimed at reviving interest in the historic venue. Skovby's motorcycle featured a unique single-speed drive that contributed to the record time in challenging conditions.

"Constructed in just 300 days back in 1923, this concrete oval hosted racing for barely a year before being abandoned to nature for a century. On 10 September 2026, the timing systems at Terramar were activated once again, and the vehicle that set the fastest mark did so in complete silence.
