Concetti hits the track alongside the Fainplast Racing Team in the Lotus Cup Italy 2025, the championship dedicated to the legendary Hethel car, taking place on the most iconic circuits of Italian motorsport. Precision, speed, performance: on the track as in packaging. That’s why Concetti has chosen to support the Assisi-based team in the Lotus Cup Italy!
Michele Parretta, racing with car #63, will be behind the wheel of the roaring Lotus Elise, featuring a Concetti-branded front end. The Umbrian driver, after winning the Linea Motori-BMW 318 Trophy for three consecutive seasons, is making an important step up in category, debuting on March 30 at Mugello with a stunning new livery inspired by Lotus' glorious past. In 2025, the Fainplast team will sport a pale-green livery, paying homage to the legendary "Montecarlo" Lotus, the car designed by Colin Chapman in the early '60s and driven by motorsport legends like Jim Clark, Sir Stirling Moss, and Graham Hill.
The Lotus Cup Italy 2025 will feature seven race weekends, each with two races, held on the most important Italian circuits. Every race weekend includes two free practice sessions, one qualifying session (followed by the "Super Pole" for the top 4 drivers), and two 20-minute races. Most races take place on Saturdays and Sundays, with each car allowed two sets of tires per weekend—one new and one from previous rounds.
The Mugello Circuit will kick off the season on March 28-30, followed by the home race at the technical Magione Circuit (May 9-11). Next up is the historic Varano de' Melegari Circuit (May 30 - June 1). The first weekend of July will see the battle heat up at Monza, the Temple of Speed, before resuming after the summer break on September 19-21 at Vallelunga. The grand finale will take place at the Misano World Circuit, with two rounds: October 24-26 and November 7-9.
