EUROPA
CUP
BOBSLEIGH

The Europa Cup circuit features eight races for both bobsleigh and skeleton, although not always at the same time or the same venue.

For Bobsleigh, it sits as the circuit below World Cup competition and provides a good breeding ground for those hoping to make it to the very top.
