Congrats to the International K1RS Points Leaders from 2020!
A big round of applause to everyone who made into K1 Speed’s Top 50 from around the world! We were surprised to see that four racers from the Top 5 were new to the K1RS leaderboard. What a way to announce yourself!

Start Earning Those 2021 K1RS Points!
Now it’s time to begin the 2021 K1RS season! Will Denis claim the number one spot yet again? Will YOU be the one to unseat him? It’s time to go racing and score those points – let’s see what you’ve all got!
Mike Taylor
Will challengers be held to running in just adult or junior races this year? Marketing has already says that racer would be allowed to flip flop for one year when they can move up to adult races.
Staff Writer
Hello, Mike! Yes, what you said pertains to our Challenge GP/Junior League races. For Arrive & Drive racing, racers can race in either Junior or Adult karts as long as they meet and our safety requirements. Hope this clears things up!
Chris Demaras
Hey K1 Speed. Don’t you think it’s time for the “International Leaderboard”? With locations in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Korea, China, and France now open (and locations in 3 more countries opening soon) that National Leaderboard just doesn’t recognize the efforts of racers in 9 of 10 countries with K1 Speed locations. There;’s Canadians who would have been in the Top 100 last year, who are already in your Top 20 this year…but not listed on your leaderboard. It’s just un-America not to recognize individual achievement!
Staff Writer
Chris, not a bad idea! Hmm.. we’ll look into that! Thanks for the suggestion!
Mario Macias
Are K1RS Points reset every year? I noticed that on my first visit of 2019, I had lost all previous points and was re-set at 1200. I organize a monthly event at Addison with my car club and noticed that we were all re-set in January. I’m just trying to get some clarity.
Staff Writer
Mario, yes everybody’s K1RS points resets back to 1200 at the start of every year. Let’s see how many you can accumulate in 2019 – see you all at the track!
Chris Demaras
Looks like you’ve got 3 international competitors in the Top 50. Daniel (25th) and Santiago (38th) from Canada as well as Hector (16th) from Puerto Rico. Impressive to see how well the new locations have performed. I think it makes this Top 50 all the more impressive to know that it’s a worldwide points competition now.
Robert H.
Hello… it mentions that the top 50 K1RS members get an exclusive t-shirt. Is there anything the members have to do to receive it??
From the Website:
“At the end of the year, the K1RS Top 50 receive exclusive, limited-edition, K1RS Top 50 t-shirts”
Staff Writer
Hey Robert! All Top 50 Winners received an exclusive hat instead this year. We’re sorry we didn’t update the page, we will do that now. Let us know if Michael didn’t receive his hat!
Ellis Vance
Any news on the World Championship?
Staff Writer
Hey Ellis! Not yet, as we’re still in the middle of the pandemic. We’re hoping sometime towards the end of the year, once it’s easier to arrange the international logistics. We’ll let you know as soon we know, but rest assured, anyone who has qualified will get their invite once the time comes. We appreciate your patience in the meantime.
