The Lupo GTI Championship, commonly referred to as the Lupo Cup, is a single-make racing series using the Volkswagen Lupo GTI. The series is a support to the Rejects Touring Car Championship.
History
In mid 2015, a little group of German investors contacted Volkswagen Racing, wanting to purchase 20 Volkswagen Polo formerly used in the ADAC Volkswagen Polo Cup. Volkswagen quickly refused and instead offered 20 unsold, race-ready Lupo GTIs and a stock of spare parts for a modest amount of money, which the investors agreed.
Qualifying and Race format
Qualifying sessions last 60 minutes and each race last 30 minutes. The same format is used for the German Special Heats and Finale. For this special final round, the grid will be divided into two heats of 10 cars. The top 4 of each heat advances to the Finale.
Points system
The 2003-2009 Formula One system (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1) is used. An additional point is awarded for the Pole position and another for the fastest race lap.
