Teams and drivers who wish to participate in the Northern Talent Cup can now register to join the 2025 grid! Registration is open on northerntalentcup.com until December 25 for anyone looking to secure a place in the Road to MotoGP™ program.
The NTC is contested on Honda NSF250 R machines and with Pirelli tires, in line with similar competitions in the Road to MotoGP™ program, providing the best foundation for tomorrow’s stars to continue their careers and prove their talent. From the NTC, opportunities are then offered to progress until reaching MotoGP™.
The 2025 NTC grid will be limited to 26 participants and drivers must be born between January 1, 2006 and March 28, 2011, ensuring a minimum age of 14 before the first round. Runners from different backgrounds can register, even without circuit racing experience. Other disciplines on two wheels can also translate into success on the asphalt, with NTC above all looking for potential. All nationalities are welcome although the NTC mainly targets young people from across Northern and Central Europe.
If individual drivers apply, they must also choose a team name and have a team manager. It is also mandatory for riders to have at least one mechanic and a legal guardian.
All team applications must specify a team manager, who will be the main contact with the organization. The team may consist of a driver and two mechanics. The latter may very well be family members or acquaintances of the pilot.
