Next Generation…MotoAmerica Mini Cup Series

Since its beginning in 2015, MotoAmerica has strived to expand the motorcycle racing world in North America. A key part of that mission is keeping the next generation engaged with racing. That’s why MotoAmerica is proud to present the Mission Mini Cup Series by Motul.

 

Ranging in age from 5-16, these racers are training to become the world champions of tomorrow. Many of the top adult riders got their start in a junior league much like this one. For some Mini Cup riders, they represent a family legacy as a second or third generation motorcycle racer. It’s this kind of continued passion that the Mini Cup series seeks to inspire in its competitors and young audience.
