To qualify for the draw, all you have to do is buy any NEW Yamaha engine (KT100J, KT100S or KT100SEC) between now and August 31st 2013, then send Yamaha the completed entry form (download the PDF HERE) along with a copy of proof of purchase.
The prize includes flights (from anywhere in Australia) and accommodation for two people (1 driver and 1 guest) and a fully prepared ready to race Kart package in Japan for 1 person.
"All you'll have to do is turn up at the airport with your passport and your driving gear!" Yamaha Motor Australia's Adam Wolfenden informed KartSportNews.
"This years event is being held at the iconic Twin Ring Motegi circuit from November 7 to 10. The winner and their guest are required to be ready to depart on November 6 and may not return until November 12 (depending on departure city and flight schedules)."
A passport will be required. If you don’t have one, another winner will be drawn.
The offer is open to any karter from 8-year-olds up. The class entered in Japan will depend on the age and experience of the winner.
"Anyone from a first timer in Cadets to a seasoned veteran in Clubman is eligible, but please be aware the minimum age is 8 years due to the class structure in Japan" Wolfenden added.
Some expenses are required to be paid by the winner (1 night of accommodation, meals and travelling expenses in Japan, such as train and bus fares).
