FRONT FAIRING: WHY?
What happened at PFI during the second continental OK and OKJ event has highlighted those doubts that by now beset pretty much the entire karting world on the issue of the front fairings. Cik’s regulations on the matter never really pleased or convinced anyone, especially as the expedient seems more in answer to the absence of safeguards of race direction, rather than safety itself, increasingly less justified seeing how accidents on the track continue to occur, some even dangerous as witnessed on the British circuit. If, instead, the intention is to educate drivers in what are the first steps of a motorsports supply chain, namely, Mini and Junior, then we cannot but share that purpose, even more so with the forthcoming and, by now, inevitable recognition of the Mini as an international category.
