The penultimate round for the 2024 R&G British Talent Cup is about to get underway.

The stage is set for Round 7 of the R&G British Talent Cup at the historic Oulton Park circuit, where the championship battle is heating up. With just five races remaining – two at Oulton Park and a finale triple-header at Donington – the stakes have never been higher as the riders prepare to tackle a UK classic.

Lucas Brown (SENCAT Talent Team / Mortimer Racing) arrives at Oulton Park with a commanding lead in the standings, 38 points clear of his closest rival, Amanuel Brinton (Kovara Projects / RS Racing). However, last year’s performance at this circuit suggests that Brown’s position at the top is far from secure. Brinton took a stunning victory in Race 2 last year at Oulton Park, and after a Race 1 DNF and tougher time at Thruxton, Brinton will be aiming to close the gap to Brown and keep his championship hopes alive.

Brown, meanwhile, will be determined to consolidate his lead. Despite finishing third in Race 2 last year, he knows that consistency is key at this stage of the season. With a healthy points buffer, he can afford to take a calculated approach, but any mistake could open the door for his rivals.

Ryan Frost (Fibre Tec Honda), after a Race 1 podium last time out at Thruxton, heads into this seventh round third in the standings, just 15 points behind Brinton. A strong performance at Oulton Park could see him move up again. He will be looking to improve on his results from last year, using his increased experience as he returns as a race winner and consistent frontrunner.

Julian Correa (Microlise Cresswell Racing), who sits fourth in the championship after a double P3 last time out, can’t be counted out either. Correa delivered a solid performance at Oulton Park last year, finishing fourth in Race 1, ahead of both Ronnie Harris (Kovara Projects / RS Racing) and Brown. Just 10 points separate him from Frost, and a podium finish could significantly shift his position in the championship. And the contenders don’t stop there!

With the championship battle intensifying, Oulton Park promises to be another exciting round. As we look ahead to the weekend, one thing is clear: every point counts, and the margin for error is razor-thin. Can Brown extend his lead at the top, or will Brinton stage another Oulton Park masterclass to reignite his title challenge? Will Frost or Correa spring a surprise and shake up the standings? The answers await us in Round 7 at Oulton Park!
