LIMITED OPPORTUNITIES TO COMPETE IN THE RACE OF STARS

There are a number of places on the grid that have become available for competitors wishing to be a part of the Race of Stars on October 19.

The Race of Stars is a joint initiative between V8 Supercars and Karting Queensland that will see many of Australia and New Zealand’s top drivers converge at the recently opened Xtreme Karting facility at Pimpama as part of the celebrations for the Gold Coast 600 V8 Superfest.

Featuring the three ‘Pro’ categories of Australian karting – Pro Gearbox (KZ2), Pro Light (KF) and Pro Junior (KFJ) – as well as three state-based classes – TaG 125cc, Junior National and Cadets – along with a ProAm race, the one-day event will showcase karting to the wider motorsport community on a 1125-metre circuit.

With entry to this event being by an invitation only, the remaining places on the grid will be provided to competitors based on previous performances and the driver’s ability to provide the sport with the most professional image.

Drivers wishing to compete in the event are required to provide their expression of interest via email to raceofstars@kartingqld.com.au by the close of business Friday August 30. This expression of interest should include the driver’s category, recent results and any further information about their career.

The successful drivers to receive an invitation to compete in their respective categories at the Race of Stars will be advised via email on Monday September 2.
