Kavin Quintal Set To Make History – First Indian Rider To Compete In World Superbike Championship
Indian rider Kavin Quintal is set to make history by becoming the first Indian to compete in a World Superbike Championship. His debut will be at the World SBK SSP300 competitions, thanks to an opportunity provided by the Irish team, Team#109, and its management company, Gaman Racing Global Service.
The event is set to kick off on Friday in Most, Czech Republic and the 19-year-old from Chennai will replace Spaniard Daniel Mogeda, who was injured after leading the Supersport 300 class. This unfortunate incident opened the door for Kavin's participation.
Quintal's Racing Journey
Kavin Quintal has been competing in the European Stock Championship within the FIM JuniorGP and the Asia Road Racing Championship. In three rounds of JuniorGP, he achieved a top-10 finish. Starting his racing career at 13, he was the youngest rider to earn points in Indian National events and won the Talent Cup twice in 2021 and 2023.
Upcoming Events
The practice sessions are scheduled for Friday, followed by races on Saturday and Sunday at Most, Czech Republic. This event marks a significant milestone not just for Kavin but also for Indian motorsports as he steps onto this global platform.
Kavin's journey began with small steps at a young age, quickly progressing through various levels of competition. After participating in Asia Talent Cup events, he moved to Europe and continued to mature as a rider. His achievements include multiple wins and consistent performances that have paved his way into international racing circuits.
