We’re excited to share the details for this year’s annual Texas MR2 meet-up! This will be our third Grand Prix, and we’re switching things up with indoor electric karts at K1 Speed in Austin. These karts are a bit easier to handle than gas-powered ones, so we’re hoping this makes the event more accessible to everyone while still delivering a competitive and fun experience.Texas MR2 Grand Prix 2024 Schedule:
Practice
12 Laps
Get familiar with the track and the karts. This is your chance to settle in and spot the faster drivers. Remember, it’s not a race at this stage, so let others pass if they’re quicker.
Qualifying
12 Laps
This is where you push yourself. Your best lap time here will set the starting order for the final race. Drive smart and safely let faster drivers by when needed.
Race
14 Laps
Now it’s time to compete for the top spots. Medals will be awarded to the top three drivers, so race strategically and go for the win.
Cost:
The event will be $90 per person. Payment link:

Please note, K1 Speed has a no-refund policy, so make sure you’re committed before signing up. In the event of anticipated severe weather, we are able to reschedule the race.
Race admission tickets must be purchased before 10AM on 10/16! That's three days before the event, but please don't leave it to the last minute. K1 requires a final headcount on this day. There will be no admission purchases on the day of the event.
Our afternoon/evening get-together will take place at Velocity Wizards just north of Austin. We will be replaying the F1 USA Sprint and streaming the Qualifying Session happening the same weekend.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on the track and at the meet!
Here’s the mostly complete schedule of events:
• 9:45 AM – Arrive at K1 Speed Austin
• 10:15 AM – Begin Grand Prix
• 2:30 PM (estimated) – Grand Prix ends and trophies awarded
• At this point, we’ll likely be hungry. As of now, there are no official lunch plans. The idea is that we’ll decide what we want to do for lunch during the breaks in our racing sessions. K1 Speed does have food available (wings, pizza, sliders) if that works for you. Otherwise, we can find something on the way to Velocity Wizards, but we need to be at the shop by:
• 4:00 PM – Arrive at Velocity Wizards
• 4:30 PM – Begin streaming F1 stuff
• ?? – Dinner somewhere?
