IF MOTORSPORT CANNOT SUSTAIN ITSELF, IT CANNOT GROW.

EKLANZ replaces motorsport's survival mode with a scalable growth model.

It turns racing from a cost-driven hobby into value-generating infrastructure — built on safety, structure and progression. Drivers build careers. Teams build businesses. Karting Centers become permanent gateways into professional motorsport.

Top questions and answers to help us all build a shared understanding of the Australian Electric Karting League.

Collapsible content

Getting Started

EKLANZ is open to everyone — experienced racers and first-timers alike. Clear class divisions, professional support, and one of the fastest ways into motorsport.

New to racing? Add an Extra Practice Day to your registration — that gives you two full training days before your first Round, with EKLANZ coaches and mechanics on the ground.

Modern electric karting is the most accessible entry point in the sport. By your first race weekend you'll be prepared to compete on equal terms.

Take the first step.

Costs & Value

Professional-level motorsport requires investment — but EKLANZ makes it more accessible than traditional pathways.

Your entry fee covers the full package: cutting-edge BSR electric karts (worth tens of thousands each), mechanical support, track access, charging, safety equipment, media production, and event logistics.

Compared to combustion karting or junior formulas, EKLANZ delivers a fully-supported professional environment at a fraction of the cost.

The skills, exposure and connections you build here open doors across the sport.

Racing Format

EKLANZ is a professional championship built for every level of driver.

Independent drivers and those on Arrive-and-Drive packages compete in the same series, under the same technical rules. Blue Shock Race oversees technical standards; Eco Motor Sport handles federation-level governance; every Event runs under AASA permit.

Fair, transparent, professional — whether you bring your own kart or race in an EKLANZ Arrive-and-Drive.

Race weekends are competitive and enjoyable. Score championship points, sharpen your craft, and join a growing electric racing community.

Career Opportunities

EKLANZ isn't just a racing series — it's a career accelerator.

Direct pathways lead into elite international programs including the NXT Gen Cup, Porsche Cup, and BSR Global Events across Europe and the United States. Growing partnerships across the electric racing ecosystem mean real, tangible opportunities to advance your career.

Refunds & Policies

  • 3+ days before the Round: transfer 50% of your entry to another Round.

Special situations
Exceptional circumstances handled case by case — contact us early and we'll do everything we can to help.

Notify us as soon as you know. The earlier we hear, the more options are on the table.

Sponsors & Funding

Success in modern motorsport is as much about partnerships and funding as it is about lap time.

EKLANZ helps drivers build the personal branding and marketing skills needed to attract and keep sponsors — whether you're brand new to it or scaling an existing network.

The EKLANZ Sponsorship Program lets you earn credit toward your own entries by bringing new drivers into the Championship. Active recruiters can fully cover their season — and go further, funding a personal kart or launching their own Arrive-and-Drive team.

Think beyond paying for racing. Think like a racing entrepreneur — using the world's most advanced electric karting platform to build a career, a brand, and a business.

Race Classes & Divisions

EKLANZ runs a clear, progressive class system — every driver races where their age, experience and performance fit.

2026 Championship Classes

  • X4 Open — 13+ years. Advanced junior / senior transition. ~36 hp on the BSR-X4 platform.
  • X5 — 16+ years. Professional performance tier. ~44 hp on the BSR-X5 platform.

Coming from 2027

X1, X2 and X3 kids and junior classes are on the roadmap. If you're under 13 and looking to enter the championship in future, start now with training days at partner Karting Centres.

Own Your Own Kart

Serious about a motorsport career? Owning your kart cuts long-term costs, unlocks personalised setup, and prepares you for higher-level competition. Every private kart on the grid also grows the class.

Whatever your age or level, there's a place for you. Start training, find your class, take the next step.
