The 188 riders who have been successful in their applications to participate in the Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup pre-selection event to be held at the Sepang International Circuit next week, after the Malaysian MotoGP round, has now been published.
The Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup selection will take place at the Go-Kart Track at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC). Due to a high number of inscriptions the selected riders have been divided into two racing selection days – Monday, October 14th and Tuesday, October 15th. Each group of 10 riders will have two 15-minutes slots to show their abilities. Some of the riders may then be asked to stay also for final evaluation of their performance and participate at additional track sessions on Wednesday, October 16th.

The Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup is an exciting new competition for 2014, which will act as a feeder series to the world of motorcycle racing. The new project aims to give riders from the Asian region a formal path into competitive road racing.
