GOD SAVE THE PRESIDENT

Nearly one semester into his mandate, we met with Felipe Massa in Sarno at the start of the European CIK-FIA season.

One-on-one with Kees van de Grint on the future of Karting

The first European OK race was the perfect opportunity to speak with the CIK Vice President on the kart of the future.

A perfect Stanek Aron as well

What emerged from this first race in the European OK and OKJ, held at the International Circuit of Naples, with near-summer temperatures, was the supremacy of Roman Stanek in OK and Paul Aron in Junior.

OK start, hot match and big bang

Although it was already decided after 2 laps, the final presented three events worthy of attention, which in fact characterized the first round of the European OK.

OKJ Aron on top

Paul Aron (FA / Vortex) presents his business card at this first continental event. Best time trial, winning in the heats, dominator of the final. But what surprised everyone most is how he was capable of managing this superiority, a show of maturity worthy of a veteran.

SUN, HEAT AND SHADED AREAS

The first round of the FIA Karting European Championship for the OK and OKJ classes held in Sarno was two-sided: a positive for the success of the sport on the track, while the organization was less than 100%.

THE FINAL FIGHT

Three appointments to determine the champions, three

HERE ARE THE WINNERS!

The ninth edition of the WSK Super Master Series ended on the International Circuit of Napoli, Italy. Four stages awarded four trophies to: Martinius Stenshorne (Mini), Gabriele Minì (OKJ), Hannes Janker (OK) and Marco Ardigò (KZ).

Grand start for the BNL Karting Series in Genk

On April 15th, at the Belgian circuit of Genk, the BNL Karting Series started; the Belgian championship that has found a way to have itself talked about.

ROTAX MEETING IN MIZUNAMI

PRESS OFFICE RMCJS - PICS MASAYUKI MIZUNO - REVISION:

NOT ONLY DANIEL RICCIARDO!

The Vortex brand has had a strong association with Australian karting for a number of years at the elite level, however over recent years, the brand has really taken off with the introduction of the Mini-Rok motor to Australian karting.

GEARBOX

The European KZ and KZ2 promises to be full of novelties. Motorsports-wise, there’s the change to LeCont tires, and the return and inclusion of the Salbris and Lonato tracks to the Cik Fia calendar; as for organizational and promotional changes, RGMMC is now in-charge.

FOR A FISTFUL OF… MILLIMETERS

In the heart of every driver there are three memories: one’s first love, that first victory and that unforgettable defeat. For Paolo De Conto, this last related to the 2015 KZ World Championship race at Le Mans, a race he lost just short of the checkered flag.

BEGGIO LIKE IN FAIRY TALES

The unbelievable happens in Salbris! On Saturday, Beggio and Ryttarbris are first disqualified after the heats for irregular fuel, then readmitted on Sunday morning because the Cik accepts the opinions of ELF technicians who judge instruments used on the track as unreliable. The nightmare of disqualification vanished, Beggio takes to the track and wins the World Championship title for the second consecutive year.

ENGINE TUNING: FREE!

This is what the technical regulations of 125 Formula C prescribed: a kind of windfall for technicians, who could thus express their ideas and experiment with new solutions until, note upon note, regulations that equate KZ categories and KZ2 have now been reached.

RATHMANN XTERMINATOR FUEL TANK REPRODUCTION

Restoration of karts that are over 50 years of age can be an extremely satisfying hobby especially if the kart undergoing restoration was the same type of kart that you had back in the day. This type of project can demand hours of involvement but most folks that undertake such tasks are usually retired from regular employment and have the required time on their hands that is needed for such work.
