2006 winners David Sera and
Kel Treseder celebrate
|
The official name for the Series is the “2007 TOYOTA IAME LEOPARD SERIES”. For the "third year in a row" Remo Racing, the promoter of the Australian Leopard Series, will be giving away 2 Brand New TOYOTA Motor Cars to the winners of the Light and Heavy divisions at the 2007 Leopard Series Final Shootout in November.
| A Total of "FIVE DRAWS" will be made for your chance to win a drive in ITALY for the IAME 125cc WORLD FINALS! |
Also just announced is the news that all competitors in the nationwide Series and Final Shootout will now have the chance to compete at the 2008 IAME 125 World Final in Italy.* A total of five trips will be won in 2007.
These prizes for the lucky winners will include airfares, accommodation and the use of a spec kart, tyres and engine – everything you need to race on a level playing field against the world's best 125 drivers.
These trips are valued at over $15,000 each, and are truly priceless as you can't buy your way in!
Competitors at the 2008 IAME 125 World Finals will come from all parts of the world, making this a truly international event.
WHAT IS THE ‘LOYALTY PRIZE DRAW’?
A ‘Loyalty Prize Draw’ will be held between all drivers who compete at every round of their state's 2007 Leopard Series. This prize is a trip to compete at the 2008 IAME 125 World Final in Italy* valued at over $15,000 each!
This Prize Draw does not rely on a driver’s results in any way, and gives every driver an 'equal chance' to win an amazing prize.
WHY HAVE A ‘LOYALTY PRIZE DRAW’?
It is often the case that only the high profile drivers get a chance at winning such great prizes. By having a ‘loyalty prize draw’ everybody has a chance to win! This includes a light driver, a heavy driver, a C-grader or a P-plater!
The "FIRST DRAW"
EVERYBODY who competes in ‘every round’ of their States' Series
is automatically entered into the 'Loyalty Prize draw' |
The 2008 IAME 125 World Final will not be held until September, this gives C-graders and P-platers time to get off their minimum licence and have their full licence status in time. This obviously encourages drivers to race at every round in their State Leopard Series regardless of whether they are in contention for the series point score or prizes.
This also creates a scenario which may in fact encourage extra entries for the State Series in the following way. Some drivers may not be interested in racing at the ‘Leopard Series National Final Shootout’ for a variety of reasons – such as their location, budget or time restrictions.
The ‘Loyalty Prize Draw’ gives them more of an incentive to race the Series whether they want to race at the Final Shootout or not. It also encourages drivers to enter the Series who may have no realistic chance of winning the Series, as every driver has an equal chance of winning the ‘Loyalty Prize Draw’ regardless of their race results. This Loyalty Prize is also a great encouragement for each State Series to be successful helping CLUBS maintain a high participation rate.
The 'SECOND DRAW' to compete in Italy will also be given away.
This is the "Final Shootout Draw" and all you have to do turn up
and COMPETE at the final shootout! |
THE ‘FINAL SHOOTOUT PRIZE DRAW’
A second trip to compete at the 2008 IAME 125 World Final in Italy* will be given away in a 'Final Shootout Prize Draw' between all drivers competing at the 2007 Leopard Series Final Shootout.
Again, it is between all drivers competing at the event, regardless of their results. This also encourages drivers who may not have a realistic chance of winning the brand new TOYOTA cars or other placegetters’ prizes, but are still good enough to qualify for the ‘Leopard Series Final Shootout’.
We will announce how we will be giving away the next
"THREE DRAWS" later in the year. |
OTHER GREAT PRIZES FOR THE FINAL SHOOTOUT
On top of these great prizes, there will be IAME LEOPARD ENGINES TO BE WON at the Final Shootout.
It all adds up to over $100,000 in prizes, making the 2007 TOYOTA IAME Leopard Series one of Australia's most rewarding Karting series' ever.
WHY RUN THE LEOPARD SERIES AT YOUR CLUB?
The Leopard racing class is one of the fastest growing classes in Australian Karting, due to the user-friendliness of the IAME Parilla Leopard 125cc engine. The Leopard engine is a real race engine, which has been engineered to also provide great reliability and long periods between rebuilds.
The Key Turn Starting and centrifugal clutch also make the engine more popular with drivers and clubs alike, due to the increased safety associated with eliminating push-starting.
| "The ease of use and the fairness of racing with a straight-out-of-the-box engine make the Leopard extremely popular" |
This eliminates the age-old criticism of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ engines, leaving everyone on a level playing field.
The 2007 TOYOTA IAME Leopard Series builds on the success of the Leopard class across Australia. Leopard drivers are crying out for opportunities to compete in racing series’ and events where they can not only test themselves against the best in their class, but also win great prizes.
HOW ELSE WILL REMO RACING HELP RUN THE LEOPARD SERIES?
Not only are there great Series prizes on offer, but Remo Racing advertise nationally and through their websites regarding the Leopard Series. This gains exposure for ALL CLUBS and EVENTS involved in the Series, and often eliminates the need for clubs to spend money advertising events themselves.
The Leopard Series also gains much attention in the Karting and motorsport media, further increasing exposure of all events and clubs associated with the Series.
Having TOYOTA Australia and IAME Italy involved as the major sponsors, along with events such as the 2006 Leopard Series launch attended by TOYOTA F1 driver Jarno Trulli, gains exposure both within and outside Karting circles. Again, this gains further exposure for all events and clubs involved.
CONDITIONS:
(ALL DRIVERS competing in their STATE series must abide to these rules and conditions to be eligible for prizes) To be eligible for prizes in the 2007 TOYOTA IAME Leopard Series a driver must compete in every round using a Leopard 125cc engine ONLY. If required due to entry numbers, Leopard Light and Heavy classes may be combined and run together in the event of this occurring, Series points and prizes will still be awarded for light and heavy classes separately.
In certain States if insufficient entries are received it may be permissible to run the Leopard Series within a TaG class BUT ONLY LEOPARD ENGINES COMPETITORS will be eligible for prizes and to qualify for the final. RACE FORMAT: Each state will run their race format in accordance to what is in place in their particular State; Example; if a Series in your State runs 2 heats and a final then that would be the race format in which you will race, in other words, we are happy to ‘fit-in’ with each States racing format.
ENTRY FEE:
The entry fee will be set by each State to fit in with their current Series. Enter through the Hosting Club of that Series Round as per their Supp-regs.
The Promoter Remo Racing Pty Ltd does NOT want any entry money whatsoever. The entry money will be divided up by the Club and the Series organiser. All we ask is that with the entry money the clubs provide trophies for light and heavy and also for the first C grader home in light and heavy classes.
There are no terms or conditions set for a minimum of entries in each state to be eligible for the final shootout prizes. Keep up to date with all the news, technical info, and point scores and more by clicking on your STATE link on this page.
