Challenge GP Leagues

Every K1 Speed center runs its own junior, teen and adult race leagues, called Challenge GP. At the end of the 12-month season, the top three drivers from each class and center advance to their respective state championship.

The national podium finishers then earn their place on the grid for the K1 Speed E-World Championship.
