Retro Racing Revived - The Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup
For the first time in India, Royal Enfield introduces a new retro racing format that is accessible and engaging. Inspired by the purist racing culture of the 1960s, the Continental GT Cup series is safe and fun. Our thoroughbred, race-prepped machines are devoid of any electronic rider aids to ensure it is the rider's skill that is rewarded. Centred around the exciting but unintimidating Continental GT 650 and with affordable entry costs, the Continental GT Cup is within reach of everyone who dreams of competing in classic motorcycle racing.
The GT Cup is a One Make Race format which gives you 25 equally capable and race tuned Royal Enfield Continental GT-R650 motorcycles to provide a level playing field. The GT Cup runs the unique Pro-Am format where we have 10 Pro riders and 15 Amateur riders on the same grid.
Aspiring participants can register online to show their interest in the GT Cup. The Professional grid shall be open to riders who have finished in the top 3 in any 2 Wheeler Cup / Series / National Championship held in India, while the Amateur grid will be open to riders who possess an FMSCI racing license or have attended a Track Academy accredited by the FMSCI. All applicants who meet the eligibility criteria shall be sent invites via email to sign up for the Rider Selection Round to be held at Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore, where the top 25 riders will form the final grid for the RE Continental GT Cup!
The GT Cup championship shall comprise 8 races spread across 3 rounds of racing, with each round spread over 3 days of track excitement - scrutiny, practice, qualifying and ofcourse the races! The Professional & Amateur riders shall race together on the same grid, but their points, podiums and championship tally shall be maintained separately.
