Kip Foster has led home an Australian one-two in the X30 Masters category at the 2025 Macau International Kart Grand Prix / IAME Asia Final.
Foster (BRM) was always in the top three in the preliminary races. But, despite strong early pace, multiple world champion Davide Forè (Praga) and fellow Australian Luke Armstrong (Tony Kart) invariably marched away before the chequered flag.
But come the final, Foster maintained the pace much better. When Forè went defensive on the final lap and Armstrong attacked, Foster pounced, leading the trio to the finish line. The win qualifies him for the 2026 IWF in Italy.
