Amongst the 30 will be reigning champion Rob Guiver, (Premier Security/Ducati Romford Racing) who dominated last year’s series winning by 102 points. Guiver will be looking to retain his title but will be hard pushed by Sean Neary (SMC Racing) who finished third in last year’s championship and a string of other contenders including Phil Atkinson (JWF Motorsport/ Dijon Flooring), Sam Middlemas (Boast Plumbing/Salus Approved Inspectors and Josh Wainwright (BPS Racing).

Mark Cheetham (Highsparks Motorsport) is the only rider to have competed in all 10 years of the championship and is not to be underestimated as his wins at Donington and Brands Hatch last year show. Jack Thompson joins Cheetham in the Highsparks team for his first season in the Cup.
