The Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. (BTR) Road Race program embarked on its sixth year at the opening round of the 2026 MotoAmerica season, as the opening two races were held at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta last weekend.
The 2026 Build.Train.Race. Road Race program, whereby 10 female competitors each build their own race-spec Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 models, sees six new riders enter the series for 2026, alongside four returning competitors from 2025. Of the 10-rider lineup, four of these are international racers from Brazil, including returning racers Tati Paze and Karina Simoes, plus new to the program Sany Max Falci and Juliana Bernardes.
The first of this year’s four-round, eight-race Championship, saw the all-female road racing series Class of ‘26 take on the undulating Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta circuit. A combination of both new and returning riders on identical Royal Enfield machinery took to the grid for the first time this year, following on from their Build.Train.Race. Flat Track counterparts season start at Daytona in March.
Race One saw a four-way battle for the podium across a five-lap dash, as Brianna Cutler took victory for the first time this season. Jasmine Noelle and Bryanna Everitt completed the podium, as all three riders finished within a second of each other. Emily Dickson was unfortunate to crash at the final corner, while fighting for a podium position in her debut BTR event.
Brianna Cutler completed a double victory, following a commanding Race Two win, as the podium was once again completed with a second-place finish for Jasmine Noelle, and third-place for Bryanna Everitt.
Adrian Sellers, Head – Custom & Motorsport at Royal Enfield said: “It’s always a pleasure to welcome the new riders to the Build.Train.Race. program, and see who will lay down an early marker for the season at the opening round. It’s also exciting to witness the progress of these new riders, and track their development from this first round throughout the season. Brianna Cutler’s off-season dedication and practice paid off, and she couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year. I’m looking forward to seeing who will challenge her at Round Two in a month’s time.”
Next up for the Build.Train.Race. Road Racing program is Road America, Wisconsin, 29-31 May, which will host the third and fourth races of this season’s Championship.
