Shor & Donaldson to Represent Jamaica at Karting World Cup

Brandon Shor and Justin Donaldson will represent Jamaica at the inaugural FIA Karting Arrive and Drive World Cup at the LYL International Circuit in Malaysia, from November 14-16.

This groundbreaking event, staged under the FIA’s Global Karting Plan, aims to provide equal opportunities for emerging karting talent worldwide.

With costs controlled and equipment standardized, the competition creates a level playing field for drivers from all backgrounds to showcase their skills on an international stage.

Jamaica’s representatives will compete across both categories of the World Cup:

Shor Junior category and Donaldson Senior.

Each category is limited to only 54 drivers worldwide, underscoring the significance of Shor and Donaldson’s selection as part of this elite group.

The competition format will span three days, beginning with free practice sessions and followed by qualifying practice and three qualifying heats per driver.

The final phase will see the top 28 drivers in each category advancing to the main Final, while the remaining competitors will contest a B-Final.

The top three drivers in each category will not only earn an invitation to the prestigious FIA Karting Awards Ceremony, but will also be selected for the Karting Excellence Centre shootout among FIA Karting champions.

The Senior shootout winner will receive a scholarship to support their progression into FIA Formula 4.

Donaldson says he’s looking forward to the challenge.
