CIK-FIA: a new Race format for 2016
On the proposal of the WSK Promotion, validated by the International Karting Commission, it has been decided to change the format of its Competitions from 2016.
This is to increase the track time before the start of the Competition and facilitate testing and the development of equipment without requiring a prior trip. The savings may be substantial. This innovation will concern the CIK-FIA European Championships and World Championships and the CIK-FIA International Super Cup for KZ2
