Championship Overview

The 2015 EuroV8 Cup season is the 2nd season of the European Late Model Challenge and the first under the name of the EuroV8 Cup. The championship would introduce an all-new touring car body style replacing the original late model bodies of the 2014 season, gaining the interest of major European manufacturers STS and FIAM as well as Asian manufacturers Kanako and Indama.

The season would consist of 14 rounds mainly based in central Europe with one long haul round in Latvia for the season finale. The full-time grid was capped at 30 cars with the addition of part-time cars. Each manufacturer would be allowed 10 seats.

The qualifying format was entirely changed for 2015 with all cars qualifying in the main Q1 session, while the Top 8 progress into the Super Pole session. The Super Pole session will be televised prior to each race.
