history

General

The Junior Cup was first held at the Nürburgring in 1993 . The main aim of the series was to offer ambitious young pilots an inexpensive springboard for entry into the German and later the world championships. For the introductory course, shortly before the start of the season and during the season, the young drivers were looked after by former racing drivers. Most of the races were held as part of the German or International German Championship . The highlights of the season were the runs which were held as part of the FIM Endurance World Championship , the British Superbike Championship and the Motorcycle World Championship . Katja Poensgen was the first and only female pilot who could win the cup, 1995. The last race took place in 2019 at the Hockenheimring .

The racing series was open to standard motorcycles homologated by the ADAC with single - cylinder two-stroke engines with a displacement of up to 125 cm³ and 26 kW (35 hp ). Only two series of the RS 125 model from the Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia and tires from the manufacturer Metzeler were approved.

In 2014 he switched to a KTM RC 390 Cup . This was a single-cylinder four-stroke machine with 44 hp. Changes to the engine were taboo.
