Daniel Demaras and his father Chris Demaras have both qualified to represent Canada at the K1 Speed e-World Championship. Now, father and son must battle each other.

On Monday, January 27th, Daniel and Chris will compete in two heat races during the “Champions Night” at K1 Speed in Toronto. The winner will go on to California to race against the best from Mexico, South Korea, China, France, Puerto Rico and the USA.
Below is an excerpt from an article published on K1Speed.com on January 15, 2020.

With 2019 in the books, we now have a complete list of qualifiers for the second K1 Speed e-World Championship! These individuals have earned at least 4,000 K1RS points over the course of last year, are at least 14 years of age, and are not an employee/relative of an employee at K1 Speed.
A total of 73 amazing racers qualified for the United States Championship. This year’s competition should be considerably more intense than last year’s competition. Last year, we had knockout events that narrowed our qualifiers down to State Champions. These 12 State Champions then competed for the US Championship.
This time, however, we’re inviting ALL qualified racers to compete for the United States title – not just a dozen racers. So we’re expecting racers from all over the country to fly out for their shot at representing the US in the K1 Speed e-World Championship final.
