NXT Gen Cup joins DTM and ADAC Racing Weekend in completed 2023 calendar
NXT Gen Cup, the world's first 100% electric junior touring car cup, will join DTM and ADAC Racing Weekend for two back-to-back rounds in July and August as the 2023 calendar is completed.
"We are delighted to add an international part to our calendar and especially to do so with two prestigious championships like DTM and ADAC Racing Weekend," said Fredrik Lestrup, co-founder of NXT Gen Cup.
"This will provide us an excellent opportunity to showcase NXT Gen Cup and our talented young drivers to an international audience, as well as providing them with experience of major international circuits. We want to extend a big thank you to the ADAC Racing Weekend and DTM organisations for welcoming us to their events."
The second NXT Gen Cup round of 2023 will be held at Oschersleben on July 28-30 with the ADAG Racing Weekend, followed by round three at the legendary Nürburgring a week later on August 4-6 together with the DTM.
“ADAC has taken on a pioneering role in the topic of motorsport and sustainability with various initiatives such as sustainable fuel, an electric rally series or concepts for sustainable events. The NXT Gen Cup is an interesting race series and an attractive addition to the DTM and the ADAC Racing Weekend. Junior and electric racing are two important factors for the development of motorsport and NXT Gen Cup combines this in an interesting way. We are looking forward to exciting race weekends together,” said ADAC Motorsport Director Thomas Voss.
The completion of the inaugural NXT Gen Cup season calendar means that the 100% electric cup will host a total of six race weekends in 2023, four in Sweden with the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship (STCC) and two in Germany from July to September
The first official NXT Gen Cup test of 2023 will be held at Gelleråsen in Sweden on June 7-8, see the complete testing schedule here.
