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.

K1 Speed E-World Championship

The K1 Speed E-World Championship features the largest single-event prize pool in all of competitive karting with $79,000 up for grabs between the three divisions. [8]

The prize pool for the E-World Championship is distributed as follows:

Adults:

  1. $25,000
  2. $15,000
  3. $7,500

Teens:

  1. $10,000
  2. $5,000
  3. $2,500

Juniors:

  2. $4,000
  3. $2,000

K1-on-1 Karting Lessons

K1-on-1 lessons are 1-hour coaching sessions with skilled instructors. Students of K1-on-1 lessons can expect to learn how to maximize kart performance, improve lap times, and defend positions.

- Lessons begin with an evaluation race, giving instructors a baseline for the student's technique and current approach to apexes.

- Then, students walk the track with the instructor to go over their initial performance. Coaches place cones on the ideal racing line, explaining the strategy behind each apex and the differences between types of turns.

- After the track walk, students complete their second and third evaluation races, using the techniques gained from coaching to shave seconds off of their lap times.

"A K1-on-1 lesson is a great introduction for novices and an excellent training tool for experienced racers. Your coach will tailor their advice to your skill level, ensuring you benefit and improve, no matter your racing background," according to K1 Speed's website. [9]
