Road to Racing, a Canadian motorsports amateur athletics association, has partnered with Kartplex and Area 27 to host an open shoot out for young Canadian karters to win a scholarship to Jacques Villeneuve’s FEED Racing school in France, valued at approximately $18,000. The two-day shootout will take place on May 13-14, 2023, and will provide a unique opportunity for young racers aged 14 to 19 to showcase their skills and potentially secure a life-changing experience.
