From swapping wheels to car setup and problem solving, joining a team allows you to focus just on your driving. When you don't have to worry about if you tightened your lugnuts, you'll naturally focus more on your driving and learn at a faster rate.

Just know, there are plenty of helpful hands and brainpower to assist you in case you need it.

COACHING
In every sport, a good athlete relies on coaching to continue to improve at their craft. Racing is no different. The top drivers today still have a team of coaches and engineers who help them go faster. As a driver development series, Lotus Cup USA offers series driver coaches who work with each driver to offer feedback from various corners, debrief after on-track sessions, analyze video and data, and mentor you each race weekend. This method has allowed our drivers to improve not only lap times each event, but work on racecraft and other techniques. Our series coaches are seasoned racecar drivers with years of experience coaching at the top racing schools like Skip Barber or Sim Raceway. You can also bring your own private coach to work with you throughout the race weekend. This is a great way to have the personal attention to fast track your learning curve.
THE RACE WEEKEND
As the race weekend approaches, you'll begin to receive important weekend information from the series to get you up to speed. When you arrive at the race track, you'll want to follow the paddock diagrams to find the right area to park and setup for the weekend. At the Lotus Cup USA hospitality tent, a brief driver's meeting on Saturday morning will give you important procedural instructions and other information. The Lotus Cup USA hospitality tent offers a common area for you and your guests to take advantage of. Refreshments and snacks are available and during select events, social gatherings take place after racing is completed on Saturday afternoon.
A typical race weekend will feature four sessions per day. You'll have two practice sessions, one qualifying session, and a 30-min race each day. Plenty of on-track time to fine tune your racecar and work on each corner for the best lap time in Qualifying. Your fastest lap time from Qualifying will be your starting position for the race. For the race, a rolling start will release you to battle it out with your fellow competitors. Our unique ruleset allows you to experience competitive, wheel-to-wheel racing. To close out the weekend, a podium ceremony for each class and each race takes place to reward our podium finishers with a unique Lotus Cup USA trophy.
