2012 NEZ runner-up of the 1600cc class, Lithuanian Ernestas Staponkus, is set for a full 2013 FIA/IMG ERX series in Super1600s. His ex-Eduard Leganov VW Polo Mk4/9N3 is currently been overhauled in the Czech Republic. After Martynas Padgurskis, the 2007 ERC bronce medal winner of Division 2, Staponkas could be the second Lithuanian to do a full European programme attempt.
