Lotus Cup Europe now in its fifth season follows a new format with a six round, twelve race calendar for the 2009 season.
The series will be organised and run by LoTRDC who, with MotorSport Vision Racing run the successful “Elise Trophy” race series in the UK. The Proposed Calendar will have drivers racing on some of the most prestigious and demanding circuits in Europe. The provisional calendar is as follows:

Donington Park (UK)
Le Mans (France) or Zolder (Belgium)
Zandvoort (Holland)
Brands Hatch Grand Prix (UK)
Dijon-Prenois (France)
Spa Francorchamps (Belgium)

The calendar and race regulations for Lotus Cup Europe will be finalised by November; it is expected that there will be three classes available to ensure that the majority of Lotus owners across Europe can compete. The 2-Eleven and the new 2009 Model year Lotus Exige Cup 260 will also be eligible.
For 2009, Lotus Cup Europe will follow a different format from the race series in the past:

20 minutes qualifying
Race 1 (minimum 20 minutes duration)
Race 2 (minimum 20 minutes duration)
The grid will consist of Lotus product only and all cars will run on Yokohama A048 LTS tyres.

I think it'd be worth it to race on circuits like them. Just a cut above british circuits in my opinion. I had the best race of my life at Spa.

Why do you think I want to go racing?

Walshy wants us to go kick there Euro ass.

Awesome line up of tracks there. Have driven them all except Le-mans/Zolder.

If I hack Donkey Punch, then Spa is my next objective if the legs are still working.

Most of you know my feelings for flat, airfield type, artificial tracks, so Eau Rouge and Blanchimont are what it is all about.

Any idea on the spec of the cars?

We were looking to GT4 next year with the 211 or KTM or Ginetta.

I dont think it'd be much of a challenge for you. From what i have seen, the euro lotus guys are pretty pants.
