Quoting Chris Andrews from today's Eurodragster.com news item: "never before has a team entered four Top Fuel Dragsters in FIA European competition". Well, apart from 2004 when Knut did it for the whole season. And indeed, Chris was crewing on one of those four at the time :-)

The point is possibly moot as Lex and Micke leased cars from Knut and effectively ran them as independent operations. As Indeed did Mark and Jackie Hawkins.
