Secure your spot in NXT Gen Cup today!
The NXT Gen Cup is the world’s first 100% electric junior touring car cup where young female and male drivers race the LRT NXT1, a fully electric race car based on the MINI Cooper SE road car - engineered and built by Lestrup Racing Team.
The championship is organised through an “arrive and drive” concept, enabling drivers to focus on driving and creating the foundation for a professional racing career.
The 100% electric LRT NXT1
The 100% electric LRT NXT1 is based on the MINI Cooper SE road car, built and developed by LRT. The car features 190-230hp (pending circuit) with instant torque and a “push to pass” functionality. The sophisticated electrical drivetrain with its 30 kWh battery enables races of more than 15 minutes with no power loss.
“We’re acting now for a sustainable racing future.”
— Fredrik Lestrup, NXT Gen Cup founder
A comprehensive racing driver education programme
The NXT Gen Cup is not only about racing on the circuits, but the whole package of educating and preparing junior drivers for a professional career. The drivers are taught the racing and engineering side of the car, as well as the financial side of racing in terms of starting a business, sponsor meetings, budget calculations and media promotion.
