The 2011 Lotus Cup Europe Calendar has been released and once again features some of the continent’s finest circuits. Starting with a pair of races in France and ending with a reprise of 2010’s Belgian double-header, the series of Grand Prix venues past and present is completed by returns to the popular Brands Hatch and Nurburgring tracks.
Once again care has been taken to ensure that the races form part of an entertaining bill and the series will appear alongside FIA Formula Two, FIA European Truck Championship, Belcar and Radicals.
