More racing, more coaching, more support

This is where the journey starts for future champions.

Former Epic racers Nando Caminada & Jerome Blum laid the foundations for their World Cup careers at the Hot Trail Series with Epic. This is where they learnt how to practise, read lines and put together the perfect race run before moving on to the international stage.

Our race coaches are with you every step of the way at the Hot Trail Series, helping you learn racecraft, progress and – hopefully – add your name to the list of Epic champions.
