Chequered Flag - Ep 03 - Racing Legends - The Henshaw Family

Inspired by the racing culture of the 1960s, the Continental GT Cup series was launched in October 2021. Built around Royal Enfield’s award-winning 648cc parallel-twin engine, the race-ready Continental GT-R650s are manageable for novices as well as being a potent, highly capable racer in the hands of experienced riders. With affordable entry costs, the Continental GT Cup is accessible, engaging and fun.

The #ChequeredFlag podcast series was launched alongside the GT Cup to bring you great stories from the world of Royal Enfield motorsports.

In this #chequeredflag episode, Gordon May speaks to an inspiring British family team who have been racing Royal Enfields for 17 years. They are David, Paul, and Ian Henshaw.

Ian Henshaw is the rider that has won numerous classic races and set lap records on Royal Enfields.

His brother, Paul Henshaw, is a renowned Royal Enfield mechanic and restorer who prepares the bikes for racing.

Their father, David Henshaw, is team manager, a role which has earned him the moniker 'Dave the wallet' as he has financed three race bikes and 17 years of campaigning.
