Compete in Endurance Go Kart Races at K1 Speed Canton!
Enter our Half-Hour Go Kart Endurance Race!
Think you’ve got the stamina to compete in a 30-minute go kart race around our track in Canton, Ohio?
Here’s How It Runs…
So how do our endurance races at K1 Speed Canton run?
First, there are two categories: Pro and Rookie. To qualify as a Rookie, you must be a driver who has not competed in any previous season of monthly endurance races, or the 12 Hours of Canton.
There will be two races: an A-Main and B-Main. So if you qualify for the A-Main race, please allow enough time to watch the B-Main race. Races will be back-to-back just like our Challenge GP events.
The starting grid and race group is set by an 8-minute qualifying session. You can complete as many laps as you can during this time, with as many kart swaps as you’d like. The fastest racers will be in A-Main, the slower racers in B-Main. Within each race group, starting grids will feature the fastest drivers of the group in the front, slowest drivers in the back.
Then you’ll have a 30-minute race for position. Drivers are required to make one pit stop at any point during the race – it’s up to the driver to choose the winning strategy! Then, they’ll complete the remaining laps in a sprint to the finish!
Championship Information
Points
Points are given to every participant in the race. First place receives 25 points, second place receives 24 points, third place receives 23 points, fourth place receives 22 points and so on down to one point for the driver who finishes last in B-Main.
The racer with pole position gets 1 bonus point. The racer with the fastest lap during the race gets 2 bonus points. The driver who moves up the most number of positions between the start and end of the race will earn 1 bonus point. The minimum number of positions gained must be at least 3 positions. In the event more than one driver moves up the same number of positions, the driver with the fastest lap of the race will receive the point.
Since there are seven rounds in this fifth season, the lowest-scoring race for each driver will be excluded.
Tie-Breaker
In the case of a tie in finishing positions, the driver with the highest average finishing position across all 7 events will be awarded the higher ranking.

Would love to see this come to K1 Speed Phoenix since they are now supporting the latest Karts. Our league drivers would love it!
