Congrats to the International K1RS Points Leaders from 2023!

The three trophies for our top 3 2023 k1rs points championship

A big round of applause to everyone who made into K1 Speed’s International Top 50 from around the world!

 

The 2023 season was a competitive one, with our racer in number 50 having over 6,000 points – an increase of 1,000 points over last year! And our international competition was strong yet again. We had EIGHT racers from Canada break into the Top 50 this year, including two racers in the Top 10! And for the first time, Mexico has joined the Top 50 list with two drivers!

 

But the competition wasn’t the only thing that ramped up for our Top 50 racers from 2023. We’ve also increased the cash prizes from last year! Our K1RS Champion from 2022 is going to get $10,000 – up from $3,000 from last year! Second place is getting $6,000 (up from $2,000 last year), third place is taking home $4,000 ($1,000 last year). That’s some serious dough!

 

Now, let’s get on with our Top 3 finishers!

THE TOP 3 INTERNATIONAL K1RS POINTS LEADERS OF 2023

#1: Joel Parham | Burbank, CA | 38,136 points

After finishing 10th in 2023’s Top 50 K1RS Leaderboard, Joel was on a mission to destroy the competition this year. Not only has he risen to the top of the heap this year, but he’s also the only racer to finish in the Top 3 each quarter in the 2023 K1RS Quarterly Championship, and picked up the number one spot in Q3! Congrats, Joel! You’re definitely our worthy K1RS points champion of 2023!

 

Joel will receive:

    • 1st Place Trophy
    • $10,000
    • Exclusive 2023 K1RS Top 50 Hat

 

#2: Patrick Cook | Arlington, TX | 32,500 points

 

Patrick just made into our 2022 Top 50 list in 48th position, but boy, did he come on strong this year. Not only has he finished runner-up this year, but was a worthy competitor in our quarterly championship as well, with two runner-up finishes – Q2 and Q4. You sure made life a little more difficult for the “Burbank Boys”, Patrick!

 

Patrick will receive:

  • 2nd Place Trophy
  • $6,000
  • Exclusive 2023 K1RS Top 50 Hat

 

#3: Aaron Geoulla | Burbank, CA | 32,338 points

 

Our 2022 K1RS Champ, Aaron, returns to the podium this year, finishing in a very strong third position, just narrowly missing out on the runner-up spot. Like his fellow podium competitors, Aaron has also been a regular competitor in our quarterly championship, where he finished in the Top 3 for three out of the four quarters, winning the final quarter in the process. Plus, Aaron’s got the speed to go with those points, as he is the 2023 City Champion from our Adult Challenge GP at Burbank! Best of luck at the 2024 K1 Speed CA State Champs, Aaron!

 

Aaron will receive:

  • 3rd Place Trophy
  • $4,000
  • Exclusive 2023 K1RS Top 50 Hat

 

Congratulations to our Top 3 once again, and if you happen to see any of these racers at their local K1 Speed take a moment and congratulate them. Then ask them for some tips!

The Complete International K1RS Top 50 OF 2023!

The International Top 50 will have their names on a plaque in every location, and will receive an exclusive 2023 Top 50 hat (NOTE: We are currently experiencing a delay with our hats. We hope to have these for you as soon as possible – we sincerely apologize for the wait). And many of these racers compete in our Challenge GP league series that feeds our Championship events. So there’s a very good chance you’ll see many of them compete in the State, National and World Championship stages this year! Congrats again to all who finished in the Top 50 and best of luck to anyone who earned their way to the State Champs!

    • Staff Writer

  • Jonathan Hardie

    How do I find out what the fastest single lap times were for 2022? I was with a group that came on Dec 17th and had the fastest lap. I’m simply looking for bragging rights LOL! Do you guys have anything on your website that show the fastest lsp times for the parties that come through? Or anything like that? If not, I think you should consider it. Kind of joking, but also kind of not joking. Anyway, had fun!

    • Staff Writer

      Haha, glad you had such a fun time, Jonathan! We do allow you to check the fastest lap times of the week and month online. Just visit http://www.k1speed.com/scores-live.html . But I like your idea of seeing the whole year… hmmm…we’ll bring that up to our timing/scoring partner!

  • Michael Harbin jr

    Where do I find the 2023 international k1rs top 50 leaderboard?

    • Staff Writer

      We’ll post that in January, Michael! Have to wait for the year to finish first, but typically the US and Canada are the biggest points scorers, so refer to our list and theirs until then.
