The KALMORA Development Series is the second-tier series sanctioned by the Kalșerian Lawn Mower Racing Association.

Introduced in 2006, the Development Series was intended to make entry into the Main Series simple and affordable. The championship, held in several racing courses, is determined by a points system, with points being awarded based on the performance of the individual competitor. The driver ranked first in the individual leaderboard is promoted to the Main Series.

Scoring

The top ten finishers are rewarded as such:

Scoring system

1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th	8th	9th	10th	11th and lower	Fastest lap	UC penalty
20	17	15	12	10	8	6	4	2	1	0	1 (only if in scoring zone)	5 points in the overall rankings

A fastest-lap point is given to the driver who posts the fastest time during the race, but only if they finish tenth or higher.

In the event of a tie in the leaderboard, the average finishing position serves as the tiebreaker. Half-points are given if a race ends before 50% of the race distance (i.e. 100 km/62.137 mi) has been covered.

Points are not awarded to disqualified drivers, regardless of their performance in the race, as they are considered as if they failed to finish the race; those who finish below the disqualified driver are then moved up and awarded accordingly.

2024 venues

The KALMORA rulebook states that a circuit must be between 1.61 km (1 mi) long and 4.43 km (2.75 mi). Oval circuits must feature a road course, permanent or temporary, and the circuit may have up to 40% of its length consisting of dirt.

The number of laps for each race is determined by dividing 150 by the length of the circuit in kilometers (or 93.206 by the length in miles), and then rounding up to the next whole number.
