Challenge GP Leagues

Every K1 Speed center runs its own junior, teen and adult race leagues, called Challenge GP. At the end of the 12-month season, the top three drivers from each class and center advance to their respective state championship. The top three division finishers at the state championships are invited to the National Championships, held at K1 Circuit Winchester. The national podium finishers then earn their place on the grid for the K1 Speed E-World Championship.
