Episode 1: Pure Racing Uncovered | The Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup | Season 2023

What happens when you put 25 riders on the exact same bike onto a racetrack together? What goes on in the minds of riders hurtling down the track at over a hundred kilometres an hour? And what keeps them coming back to the track for more?

Welcome to The Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup. Over the course of 8 races, 25 riders - 15 amateurs and 10 professional racers - speed around the Kari Motor Speedway in Coimbatore, riding identical race-prepped versions of the iconic Royal Enfield Continental GT-R650. The Continental GT Cup is a one-make race format that goes back to the roots of motorcycle racing. Inspired by the purist racing culture of the 1960s, the bikes are devoid of any electronic rider aids to ensure that the only thing separating the winners from everyone else is pure riding skill. The Royal Enfield Continental GT Cup prides itself on being one of the most accessible motorcycle races in India. With bike racing culture on the rise, this three part episodic series hopes to help inspire biking enthusiasts to think about racing as a viable future.
