Event organizers of the ASN Canada FIA Canadian National Karting Championships presented by Canadian Tire have created an exciting additional program to get everyone involved in this years event. Pride and bragging rights will be on the line, as teams will have another trophy to chase at this year’s Canadian Championships. The Canadian National Teams Cup will create a Nations Cup style program similar to the one Canada competes in each year at the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals, but instead of countries, it will be individual race teams.
The Teams Cup will be split into two categories: Rotax Max and Briggs & Stratton, meaning two trophies are available to be won. Teams can enter one or both categories.
Each driver will select a team to represent upon registration check in and points will be tallied through all official sessions, utilizing the same points structure used at the Rotax Grand Finals. Any number of drivers can be assigned to any team and teams do not necessarily need to have drivers entered in all official classes. Only the best finishing driver for each team will score from Qualifying, heat races and the Championship Finals in all classes.
Aside from the drivers acquiring points for each team, a rental race will also add to the excitement. Each team will nominate two drivers who are not competing at the Canadian Championships to represent them in two separate 5-lap rental kart races, utilizing the Jim Russell Karting Academy karts. These races are sure to be full of action and nobody will want to miss out. Reserve your spot on the fence now.
Each day, CanadianKartingNews.com will have an official update on the Teams Cup to display the current points totals and front-runners.
The winning teams will be announced at the Final trophy presentation where they will be awarded trophies. A travelling trophy has also been created where the winning teams will have their names put on, a significant achievement to be remembered for many years to come.
All class sponsors are officially registered, but any team can join in on the action. To register, contact info@kartingjimrussell.com.
