It’s almost time for competition to get underway for the 2023 R&G British Talent Cup, with the first round coming this weekend. Silverstone national plays host for the season opener, and the venue also stages a one-day pre-season test on Thursday ahead of the race weekend.
As ever, the BTC will race twice a weekend this season, and at Silverstone national it’s 22 laps apiece. The lights go out for Race 1 at 15:00 (GMT +1) on Saturday, before Race 2 sees the grid head back out earlier on Sunday at 11:35. That’s 50 points up for grabs already, and Johnny Garness (VisionTrack Racing Team) will be aiming to take a full sweep.
The 2022 Champion returns to the grid to try and take more glory this season, and he’ll also prove a useful benchmark for those joining him on the grid after proving a formidable rider to beat. Can he go back-to-back?
Some of the more experienced frontrunners will also be back in the fray, like Rhys Stephenson (Kovara Projects/RS Racing), Evan Belford (City Lifting / RS Racing), Julian Correa (Microlise Cresswell Racing), teammate Harrison Dessoy, Sullivan Mounsey (Wilson Racing/Maddison Media) and Ollie Walker (Wright Morgan/SP125 Racing), with all looking to battle Garness at the front. It’s a deep grid, however, and plenty will be looking to make their own mark this season.
Check out updates across the R&G BTC’s social media ahead of the first weekend of the season, then make sure to watch Race 1 on Saturday before the second bite of the cherry on Sunday at 11:35!
