The 2015 Lotus Cup Europe champion will be crowned at the 24 Heures Camions event on the LeMans Bugatti circuit next weekend (10/11 October), with a special triple-header set to decide the FIAInternational Series’ title.

Twelve months ago, Jérémy Lourenço lifted the 2014 championship, and after moving up from the 2-Eleven class to V6 Cup with an Exige this season, the Frenchman has proven to be the man to beatfor overall wins. Only England’s Jon Walker (Exige) and Belgium’s Greg Rasse (Evora) have beatenhim to the top step of the podium this season, but with two and three victories respectively, they havebeen overshadowed by Lourenço’s dominant seven.

However, the destiny of this year’s title is set to be found in the Production class, where John Rasseis aiming for a clean sweep of category wins at the famous venue. Regardless of whether he achievesthis goal, his overall lead of 41 points (with 25 for a class win), and the championship’s dropped-scoresystem makes him firm favourite to lift the coveted trophy.

There are also class titles to be decided, and with Lourenço already in possession of the V6silverware, there’s a close fight between Frenchmen Christophe Lisandre and Jean-Baptiste Loup inthe 2-Eleven category, whilst a consistent weekend should settle the Open Class in favour ofcompatriot Nicolas Ferrer.

At least 40 cars from the legendary British marque are set to qualify on the Bugatti circuit, adding tothe festival atmosphere at the venue’s hugely popular annual autumn event.
