The succeeding selection rounds will be held in seven more cities including Vadodara, Delhi, Ranchi, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Coimbatore, and Chennai starting from 21 January to 12 March, 2023. KTM will select the 10 fastest riders from each city for the Qualifiers that will be held in Chennai at the Madras Motor Race Track (MMRT). These 80 riders will compete with each other and a few fastest racers will be promoted to the finale which will also be hosted at the MMRT under the aegis of FMSCI (Federation of Motor Sports Clubs of India).
The top three winners of the RC Cup will get the opportunity to visit the global headquarters of KTM in Austria where they’ll get the privilege to train with KTM’s race director, interact with KTM Factory Racing athletes, watch MotoGP race live at the Red Bull ring, and visit the much hallowed KTM Motohall.
