Gold chassis owners will have opportunties to practice and learn from the European race team and have access to special factory parts.  Drivers with appropriate qualifications will be able to test and race in Europe with a fully backed race team including chassis and engines. 

AKA Racing
2010 will see the return of big names, including proffesional racing car drivers, to the elite CIK kart classes in Australian.  Most of the big manufacturers have teams to support the high performance KF and KZ classes.
