The successful Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup will enter its third year in 2016. In this short time the Cup has already produced a World Championship rider in Adam Norrodin and, once again next season, it will twice run alongside WorldSBK which includes the Cup season-opener in Thailand.

2016 will once again see the championship contested over six rounds in five different countries, each round hosting two races. Sepang will see the season kick off with two days of testing in February before the Cup heads to Thailand to race alongside WorldSBK.

Qatar will host races three and four in March, the Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup racing alongside the MotoGP World Championship. Mid-May will see the Cup riders return to Sepang for their first races at the Malaysian circuit, once again alongside the WorldSBK before heading to the Zhuhai circuit in China. This race will run alongside the highly popular Pan Delta event.
 
The final two rounds of the 2016 Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup season will see the youngsters follow the Grand Prix riders to Motegi and Sepang in October for last four races. 12 races and ample practice time offer riders a chance to learn the tracks and continue to improve their racecraft.
