The Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup is where young racers drive their World Championship ambitions. Rookies have already gone on to win 10 world titles in the Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP classes.
Invercargill’s Cormac Buchanan is among those who are currently chasing their dreams in the Red Bull Rookies environment, but perhaps you too could join in the excitement.
Apply now for the 2023 Selection Event and show that you have the makings of a Grand Prix winner and World Champion. Successful applicants will be invited to show their abilities on track at the Selection Event later this year and from there a small number will be invited to join the Rookies Cup 2024.
Applicants must be born before March 31, 2009, as they have to be 15 before the start of the 2024 racing season.
The series organisers are looking mainly for applicants who will be in the 15 to 19 age range next season and they must have high-performance motorcycle experience.
In most cases, this will be racing experience and after filling out the online application form, you will send us your race results through the 2023 season.
