The 8R Cup has been approved as a class for the 2026 regional session. The 8R Cup is a single make series with as close to standard road bikes as possible. The racing will be held in Gauteng with a vision of expanding in years to come as the demand increases. The racing is also as cost effective as possible with a new bike on the grid for as little as R190 000. With only one set of tyres allowed for each round, the costs are under control.
Two 8R Cup bikes will be in action in the “Under 500cc” category at the upcoming race day 16th August at Red Star Raceway. Be sure to come, have a look and chat with the Suzuki team representatives about the series for 2026.
2026 meeting winners will win a set of tyres for the next round and the overall winner of the 2026 season will win tyres for the full 2027 year!
