The Kia LOTOS Cup competition series has become a permanent entry on Poland’s calendar of racing events. Four seasons of Picanto championships provided a starting point for young motorsport enthusiasts in Poland. This year, they are offered a chance to fight for the title driving Kia pro_cee’d cars for the third time.
“We are pleased to have established a kind of racing school for young drivers with this event,” said Wojciech Szyszko, Executive Director of Kia Motors Polska. “It serves as perfect preparation for real competition, including actual racing based on individual abilities. In fact, all cars taking part in our present championship are identical, so what really matters are the drivers’ skills and nothing else.”
Participants of the 2010 cee’d LOTOS Cup will qualify to race in six rounds. In addition to last year’s schedule, two more races have been added: one in Germany and one in Slovakia.
