Race Format

The race format for the LEOPARD CATEGORY will see both Light and Heavy competitors line-up in the same field. Which means that there will be two weight divisions but run on the track at the same time in the same field. So all drivers will grid up based on their qualifying time - regardless of what class they are in, and the first Light and first Heavy driver across the line will win their respective categories.

The rules are as per AKA rule book, so are simple.

Develop your racing skills
So here is proof that Leopard competitors can gain a wealth of experience and develop their racing skills in the Leopard class. Leopard class competitors ARE our future champions.
The IAME X30 engine is still the exact same engine as used world-wide. The other great benefit of owning an X30 engine and racing in LEOPARD CLASS is that there are NO RULE CHANGES.

The X30 engine was built by leading engine manufacturer IAME in 2004 and there have been NO parts changed since its inception in Australia in 2009, and we have kept our promises.
It is a true OUT OF THE BOX racing engine with low running costs with “NO BLUEPRINTING REQUIRED" nor possible due to the design of the major components.

Ultimate goal
The ultimate goal of this series being at such a prestigious event is to not only provide Leopard competitors invaluable experience competing in a low cost 125cc class with an amazing atmosphere but also the opportunity to ultimately MOVE UP into CIK racing.

We are very excited and also most grateful to the IKC on being given this amazing opportunity for the Leopard competitors in Australia to be able to compete at the most prestigious event in Australia as the CIK Stars of Karting Series, and we thank you.

Classes: Pro Light (KF1), Pro Gearbox (KF2), Pro Junior (KF3), Junior National and Leopard Class.
