For motorcycle fans, the Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup is set to offer high-speed excitement with its distinct Pro-Am format, allowing both amateur and professional riders to compete side by side. Following a nationwide talent search dubbed “Street to Track,” Royal Enfield conducted zonal selection rounds across the North, South, East, and West regions.
A total of 64 amateur riders were chosen from these zonal selections, joining 50 professional riders for the final selection round. Ultimately, 24 of the fastest riders from both the amateur and professional categories will compete.
The selected competitors will race on identical, race-tuned Continental GT-R650s, powered by Royal Enfield’s acclaimed 648cc engine. Now entering its fifth year, the GT Cup continues to escalate in popularity and competitiveness.
The Novice Cup, launched in 2018 as part of JKNRC, features Indian-made Formula cars and is recognized as the most desirable entry-level single-seater category in the nation, perfect for novices entering the world of formula racing.
