Lotus Cup Europe 2006

Developed by Lotus' motorsport division, Lotus Sport, the Exige Cup car is produced in limited numbers specifically for the Lotus Cup Europe series that visits several circuits around the continent as part of the European GTP weekends.

The Exige Cup car is available in two versions, 190 and 240 hp. Both feature the Toyota-supplied 2ZZ-GE engine in either naturally aspiratedor supercharged forms.

Lotus Cup Europe continues to grow with two types of competition, Race and Regularity. Regularity events are open to all types of Lotus Elise, 340R and Lotus Exige road legal cars with competitors being assessed on consistency of their lap times as opposed to pure speed. The Regularity event is a single-day programme and normally consists of 2 x 25-minute training sessions followed by a 30-minute Regularity event.

The 2006 season will continue in the same format as last year whereby Race events will take place on the same weekends as Regularity. These races will be 75-minute format and are only open to those with a Lotus Exige Cup car

The Lotus Dealer plays a central function in the Race and Regularity series and is the direct contact point for the customer. Registrations/entries can only be completed at the official participating Lotus Cup dealer. The Lotus Exige Cup car is only available at the official Lotus Cup dealers. All events are co-ordinated by an external Cup organisation with the official support of Lotus Cars Ltd.
