Lotus Cup Europe’s second season under the control of LoTRDC gets underway this weekend (1 May) at the fabled Nurburgring circuit in Germany with what promises to be a grid of close to forty competitors – that’s am amazing three-fold increase in numbers since LoTRDC took charge of the Group Lotus-sanctioned series at the beginning of last season!

Qualifying and both Lotus Cup Europe races at Donington Park next month will take place on Saturday 15th August rather than across the whole weekend as originally advertised. With there being a 3 hr track day on the Friday evening this change should benefit all drivers.
Lotus Cup Europe will now have a round in Italy. The series will join forces with Lotus Cup Italy and support World Touring Cars and Formula 2 at the historic Grand Prix circuit on 18th-20th September. Entry fee will remain at £350 with 2 lots of free practice, qually and one 40 minute race, with a 3 minute pit stop. Two driver teams will be allowed.

Following on from the full grid of 44 Lotus at Brands Hatch we have yet another full grid at Zandvoort with 33 cars entered for what is a maximum grid of just 30 cars due to noise restrictions. HARC who organise the State of Art Historische Zandvoort Trophy meeting have given permission for a maximum of 5 extra cars to start.
Local Lotus main dealer Van der Kooi Sportscars are supporting the event and have arranged for a separate parking area inside the paddock for 50 Lotus owners. Ex-F1 World Champion Alan Jones was hugely impressed by the number of Lotus in the car parks at Brands so support should be strong again at Zandvoort.
We also see a record number of entries in both the LCE 211 and Exige classes.
Spectator entry is available on the day with free practice, qually and race 1 taking part on Saturday and race 2 on Sunday lunch time.
The 2009 Lotus Cup Europe season got underway at Brands Hatch last weekend with a full grid of 44 cars. Lotus Cup Europe joined with the Elise Trophy to support the final round of the 2009 A1GP World Cup of Motorsport.
Scotland’s Scott Cruickshank took 2 our of 3 race wins in Lotus Cup Europe with a 2nd overall to add to that impressive result. Jon Walker took the other win on a weekend when local knowledge gave a huge advantage. David Seear was the leading Exige with John Rasse pressing him hard and taking 2nd in all 3 of the Exige races. Frenchman Christophe Lisandre was the pic of the non Brits in the 211 class with two thirds and a well deserved 2nd.
Former F1 World Champion Alan Jones MBE presented trophies on the podium, while World Land Speed record holder Wing Commander Andy Green met drivers in the paddock. Emmerson Fittipaldi, Alan Prost and a number of recent F1 drivers were present in the paddock and around Brands Hatch.
Race report now live for the opening round at Brands Hatch where Lotus Cup Europe was the official support for the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport.
