History

Sébastien Charpentier dominated the inaugural French CB500 Cup in 1996. The UK series began in 1997 (1996 in France) and was won by James Toseland who was rewarded with a Castrol Honda European Supersport contract. Honda France also took Charpentier to the European Supersport championship in 1998 and watched him beat a certain James Toseland to victory at the Brands Hatch round.

The 1998 CB500 Cup saw the emergence of yet more talented youngsters, none more so than 1998 Champion James Ellison, who went on to win two European Superstock titles, a British Superbike Privateer title and World Endurance title, before moving in to MotoGP.
