IRVINE, Calif. – MotoAmerica has announced that entries are now open for the inaugural, three-round MotoAmerica Mini Cup by Motul.

In addition, the rule book and team books are also available.

Entries for the Motul Mini Cup by Motul races will be $175 for Saturday with options available for Friday practice.

The Mini Cup Series will feature four classes of racing: 110cc (four speed); 160cc; 190cc (racers aged up to 14 years); and 190cc Adult (racers over the age of 15).

The motorcycles will be based on spec rules centered around the Ohvale GP-0, a mini road racer that is now ready for the U.S. market after proving to be popular in Europe.

The MotoAmerica Mini Cup fills a current void in the series and provides an entry point for riders under the age of 14.

The Mini Cup will give young racers a way to bridge the gap to the MotoAmerica Liqui Moly Junior Cup class through the MotoAmerica Mini Cup and “The Road To MotoAmerica.”

“It’s going to be exciting to watch the entries come in as the season rapidly approaches,” said Lance Bryson, MotoAmerica’s Senior Sponsorship Manager. “Based on the response the MotoAmerica Mini Cup by Motul has received, we’re expecting big things and a lot of entries in our first season. It’s going to be a great year to be involved in the series.”
