26/08/09 Remo Racing Press Release

The outcome of the 2009 AKA AGM held in Melbourne on the 23rd of August is fantastic news for Leopard drivers, both current and future.

Remo Racing is delighted to announce that we have completed all necessary documentation required by the AKA for the Leopard X30 engine homologation and have successfully completed all 5 phases of the homologation process.

We would like to thank the AKA/NKC who have been instrumental in assisting Remo Racing to deliver a bright and clear future for all Leopard competitors. You can remain confident that if you now purchase a Leopard X30 engine you can be guaranteed of its future in the AKA class structure.

* The Leopard X30 has been approved for TaG classes for 2009, effective immediately.

* The Leopard X30 has been approved for Leopard Classes in 2010 (with the exception of State and National Championship events). The Leopard X30 will carry a 5kg weight penalty and will be reviewed quarterly throughout 2010 to achieve parity with the Leopard RL.

*In 2011, the Leopard X30 engine will will be included in Leopard Classes and eligible for State and National Championship events.

*The Leopard X30 has also been approved for 2010 for Junior Performance Class. This new class is a brilliant initiative of the AKA, and allows the use of 125 TaG engines in their restricted format, in a high performance Junior Class on MG AZ Red tyres.

*The Leopard X30 has also been approved for Restricted 125 Classes with a 23.4 restrictor size. The restrictors will be available through your State Office or Remo Racing direct. (Restrictors will be available approx. 1st September)

At Remo Racing, we promised to be upfront and honest with both the AKA and karters, in our intentions for the future development of the Leopard Class. This final stamp of approval from the AKA represents the culmination of our promise to you.

The exact steps we said we were going to take have been put in place, and importantly have been approved by the AKA. You can purchase a Leopard X30 with the total confidence that the engine has a bright future racing on AKA tracks.

Introducing the Leopard X30 to Australia has been a huge project for Remo Racing, and we are proud to be able to offer the latest Italian engine technology to the Australian market.

We're very excited about the future of the Leopard Class as we have total confidence in the price, performance and reliability of the brilliant Leopard X30 engine.
