“The Honda India Talent Hunt is a platform developed by Honda that gives an avenue to aspiring and budding racers from all over India to unleash their potential on the racetrack. We kicked off the 2021 hunt for the next-gen racing sensation in Chennai and shortlisted two riders who showcased their racing talent in the 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 the 2022 season of Honda India Talent Cup CBR150R,” as commented by Prabhu Nagaraj, Senior Vice President, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt.

The phase 1 of the event saw eight candidates undergoing rigorous three levels of tests. Having said that, the first level involved ruelling physical fitness sessions. This was followed by judging the young guns’ riding skills and maneuverability on the racetrack.  Talking about the last level, there was a one-on-one interview with candidates and their parents/guardians. This was done to understand both their motorsport passion and family support to become the next iconic rider from India.

A total of 5 candidates were shortlisted in Phase 1. These candidates were then trained and given the opportunity to ride on the track in phase II. From here Honda will be selecting the best talent for future development. Furthermore, these final riders will get an opportunity to race in the 2022 Honda India Talent Cup CBR 150R category.
