The Belgian, t with the Austrian division of Birel ART, the KSW of Friedrich Samhaber, will have the official support of Birel ART and the TM Racing engines by Franco Drudi. With the return of Thonon to motorsport in the CIK World, the association with the mechanic Alberto Baldrighi will also be reconstituted. Let’s try to rebuild the dynamics that led to the surprising return of the cannibal to the track.
Time was short and the decision had to be taken quickly: why Thonon tested the “S9” chassis on the Genk circuit on July 19. Struck by the competitiveness of the TM-powered Birel ART by Samhaber, he decided to accept the challenge of the CIK World race. To best prepare, the parties opted for the “test-race” on DKM’s Belgian turf, scheduled for 26 August.
