We kicked-off the 2021 hunt for next-gen racing sensation in Chennai and shortlisted two riders who showcased their racing talent in 2021 IDEMITSU Honda India Talent Cup CBR150R. Moving ahead with this round in Hyderabad, we have shortlisted 5 candidates for phase 2. The best of these riders will get an opportunity to ride and compete in 2022 season of IDEMITSU Honda India Talent Cup CBR150R. In long term, Honda’s focus is to put young Indian talent on multiple National & International platforms like Asia Talent Cup, Asia Road Racing Championship, Endurance championships. I am confident that these budding riders will change the scenario of motorsports in India and make the nation proud both at national as well as international level.”

 

In Phase 1, all 8 candidates went through rigorous 3 levels of tests. First being a grueling physical fitness session followed by judging the young guns’ riding skills and maneuverability on the racetrack. This was followed by a one-on-one interview with candidates and their parents/guardians to understand both their motorsport passion and family support to become the next iconic rider from India.
