Royal Enfield's women-only road racing program, Build. Train. Race, returns to MotoAmerica for a sixth consecutive year. Ten women riders will build their own race-prepped Continental GT 650s and compete across four rounds and eight races. The finale takes place at Mid-Ohio (July 31-August 2).

Building your own Continental GT650, getting coached by Freddie Spencer, then racing on a national stage - Build.Train.Race is genuine race education. Having everyone on the same equal-condition machine is what makes it work. Speed isn't decided by gender, it's decided by how seriously you commit. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the next star comes out of this program.

Season finale at Mid-Ohio, huh. Jealous of anyone who can go watch since it's early August.

Racing on an air-cooled GT650, the lap times are honestly going to be modest - feels more show than serious competition.

Competing on parallel twins is actually kind of interesting - speed isn't everything.

I think a women-only entry point is important. Jumping straight into mixed racing is a pretty high hurdle.

So Build.Train.Race is a program that assumes you'll do your own vehicle maintenance too, huh.

Right, Build is building the bike, Train is training, and Race is the actual event. The name says it all.

Starting from building your own race-spec bike is exciting. Getting serious on a GT650 sounds fun.
