Congrats to the Top 50 International K1RS Points Leaders from 2025!
A big round of applause to everyone who made into K1 Speed’s International Top 50 from around the world!
The 2025 season was an ultra-competitive one, with our racer in number 50 having over 6,700 points – an increase of 400 points over last year’s cut-off (which was 300 points higher than 2023)! And our international competition was strong yet again. While we had fewer Canadian drivers break into the Top 50 in 2025 vs 2024, they still have the second-most Top 50 drivers with three on the board. And Puerto Rico has increased its number of drivers from one last year to two this year! Plus, three centers are in the Top 3 for the very first time: Culver City, Tukwila, and The Woodlands!
Fewer than 20 drivers from 2024’s Top 50 list made the list in 2025, showing just how competitive this championship is year after year.
Our K1RS Champion from 2025 is going to get $10,000! Second place is receiving $6,000, and third place is taking home $4,000! That’s some serious dough.
Now, let’s get on with our Top 3 finishers!
THE TOP 3 INTERNATIONAL K1RS POINTS LEADERS OF 2025
#1: Gavin Taan | Santa Clara | 57,000 points
In what has to be one of the highest points finishes of any year of K1RS competition, Gavin Taan marathoned his way to the number one position later in the year, overtaking our eventual runner-up finisher. As a result, Gavin Taan will take home $10,000, the 2025 K1RS Championship trophy, and the exclusive 2025 K1RS Top 50 hat.
#2: Rodney Price | Concord, NC | 53,774 points
We profiled Rodney Price earlier in the year when it appeared to be a one-horse race for the title. While he didn’t quite make the top step this year, we feel this won’t be the last we’ll see of Rodney. As a result, he’s still walking away with $6,000, the second-place trophy, and the exclusive 2025 K1RS Top 50 hat.
#3: Kai Massey | Burbank, CA | 51,472 points
Kai Massey kept the front two honest in this year’s battle, and while he’ll have to settle for third this year, he’s currently leading his local Challenge GP league. Best of luck, Kai! As a result of finishing third, he’ll take home $4,000, the third-place trophy, and the 2025 K1RS Top 50 hat.
Congratulations to our Top 3 once again, and if you happen to see any of these racers at their local K1 Speed, take a moment and congratulate them. Then ask them for some tips!
The Official International K1RS Top 50 OF 2025!
The International Top 50 will have their names on a plaque in every location and will receive an exclusive 2025 Top 50 hat. And many of these racers compete in our Challenge GP league series that feeds our Championship events. So there’s a very good chance you’ll see many of them compete in the National and World Championship stages this year! Congrats again to all who finished in the Top 50!

Congrats to all of you for being so dedicated to be number 1 at K1speed!

john zapata
Does this computation go for kids also?
Staff Writer
Hello, John! Yes, any racer.
Brian
Congratulations to K1 Speed and all racers. So if William gained Maximum Points (8) per race entered, he would have had to partipate in almost 2700 sanctioned sessions! (over 7 per Day, Every Day for the calandar year) That is quite a feet unto itself!
Staff Writer
Hello, Brian! Yes, definitely a feat! But keep in mind – you can easily score more than 8 points per race. If you participate in our Double Points Mondays and score maximum points in a race of 10 people, you can score up to 48 points in just one race!
ben gammon-hardaway
hi can you please tell me what countries are international and which ones are national? i believe k1 is a american company so all countries adjoined to america would be national and italy, france, uk would be international?
please confirm don’t like plastering these questions on the internet as i understand it will have a negative affect.
kind regards
brn
Staff Writer
Hello, Ben! Yes, since we’re based in the United States, when we refer to “national” it’s the United States. That said, our leaderboard also contains Mexico and Puerto Rico, while Canada, UK, France, and Italy have their own. Hope that clears up any confusion!
Shiloh
Can names be put on the hats?
Staff Writer
Hello, Shiloh! Sorry, each hat is the same for our Top 50. However, any embroidery shop should be able to add your name to the hat if you desire!
Steve
What is the trophy made out of?
Staff Writer
Hi, Steve! These are silver metal cups.
Bennet
Where is the 2025 leaderboard
Staff Writer
Hi, Bennet! We’ll post those results as soon as we can – we always audit the results first. Thanks for your patience.
Joseph Quin
Was there a 2025 leaderboard?
Staff Writer
We’re working on it, Joseph! It should be up soon. Thanks for your patience.
