Australia will have four representatives in the IAME International Final to be held on the Actua Circuit du Lyon in France on October 18-21.

Fresh from a strong run in their home state championships in Bunbury last weekend, Western Australia drivers will lead the charge to France with father and son duo of Kip and Scott Foster being joined by James Allen at the prestigious event. Also lining up will be Gold Coast teenager Joshua Crossingham.

Scott Foster, Allen and Crossingham will line up in the X30 Senior ranks and Kip Foster in the X30 Masters category.

The event will see more than 179 competitors suit up, with competitors using their own choice of chassis fitted with Komet tyres (made by MG) and powered by the IAME X30 engine. It has attracted drivers from around the globe, bringing the best drivers from the five continents.

Australia has enjoyed success in this event previous with Victorian Lee Mitchener taking out the X30 Masters category in 2010. Australian IAME importer Remo Luciani says this event is one of the most affordable opportunities for Australian drivers to compete at an overseas event and is confident of a good showing by the Australian drivers in 2012.

With the approval of CIK-FIA and with the participation of famous teams and manufacturers, IAME intends to offer a new benchmark in Karting competitions, providing values of friendly atmosphere, sporting fairness and high level Karting at affordable costs.

“I have been involved in karting for over 30 years and am still an active racer today so I understand how hard it can be to achieve your goals and sometimes those opportunities only come once in a lifetime, I am passionate about the sport of Karting in Australia and want to give everyone this great opportunity to represent their country and achieve their goals and especially to those who could never afford to race in international competition,” said Luciani.

“The drivers we have assembled in the Australian contingent are some of the best we’ve got going around and I’m really excited about the opportunity of success that we should have in a couple of week’s time.”

Along with the prestige, the drivers will also be vying for some great prizes from IAME which include IAME X30 engines, Stilo helmets, Komet tyres, Wladoil and Freem racing apparel.
