Editing Elises in Competition (section)

==Elise Trophy Season 3 and Lotus Cup Europe==


Two big changes for the third season: classes B&C were combined to form a new ‘modified’ class, where all cars would run normally-aspirated, with the exception of Audi-engined cars, which are designed to be turbocharged, and supercharged Toyota cars.  

The 211 class continued and Class A renamed ‘Production’.  The other change was Lotus awarding LoTRDC the rights to run the Lotus Cup Europe, a series that had been in existence in mainland Europe in the past.  

Now featuring two UK rounds at Brands Hatch and Donington, drivers were welcome to compete in both series.  Being Lotus-backed, LCE features three classes, Production, Exige (for Cup 260 Exiges) and 2-Eleven.


The combined calendar will visit the following circuits in 2009:

Silverstone (moved from Donington following circuit licence issues), Brands Hatch GP (supporting A1GP), Anglesey, Zandvoort, Snetterton, Hockenheim, Brands Hatch GP (supporting World Touring Cars), Oulton Park, Donington (supporting F2), Dijon-Prenois, Cadwell Park, Imola (supporting World Touring Cars),  Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone, Le Mans and Brands Hatch (90-minute race)
