A TICKET TO ASIA FINALS IN MACAU

For the four class winners, the Season Finale will therefore be more than the culmination of the IAME Series India overall winner. It will be the beginning of their international journey as they carry the Indian flag on to the Asian karting stage.
A total of 30 competitors will contest the final round with championship positions set to be decided in what promises to be a dramatic final round.
