Nitro Kart Klash expands classes to boost inclusivity ahead of April 19 event

The upcoming Nitro Kart Klash is set to feature a wide range of racing categories aimed at increasing participation and inclusivity when the event is staged on April 19 at the National Stadium tarmac in Providence.
Organised by Jumbo Jet Events, the competition will include several established classes alongside new divisions designed to attract a broader cross-section of competitors and fans.
Among the core categories is the 200cc four-stroke Honda class, which remains a popular option for intermediate and experienced drivers due to its reliability. The Briggs 206 divisions will also form a key part of the programme, with Heavy and Light classes structured to ensure competitive balance based on driver weight, while Junior and Cadet categories will provide opportunities for younger racers to develop.

For more advanced competitors, the 125cc IAME class is expected to be one of the fastest and most demanding on the day, requiring a high level of skill and precision. The Supermoto Senior class will add variety by combining asphalt and dirt racing elements, while the Time Attack Open class will focus on individual lap times rather than direct competition.
In an effort to expand access to the sport, organisers have introduced several new classes. These include the Briggs Rookie Over-35 category, which is intended to attract older, non-professional drivers, and a dedicated Briggs Female class aimed at increasing female participation.
Younger riders will also benefit from the addition of the Supermoto Juniors category, while the introduction of an electric scooter class represents a move towards more accessible and sustainable racing options.
Beyond the racing, organisers have indicated that the event will cater to families, with activities such as a kids’ zone, bouncy castle, trampoline and other attractions planned to create a family-friendly environment.
The event has attracted support from several corporate sponsors, including Banks DIH, AJM Enterprise, KP Jagdeo General Contractors, J’s Supermarket, Sawh’s Construction Inc., Precision Service Center, and Ramchand’s Autobody.
