CIK SKF Euro Champs Cancelled

CIK-FIA Super KF European Championships Cancelled!

While the WSK series is still strong (many familiar-to-Asia drivers as there in KF2 such as Gilbert, Sathienthirakul, Susilo), some are struggling with numbers for KF. The European Championship was a little weak last year and this year it doesn't exist.

Karting1 had an article on the state of KF in the UK recently, where they race Super KF for the British Championship. WSK has ~30 kart grids in SKF, so there is still a place to race them, but CIK can't seem to pull in the drivers. KF2 grids on the other hand are very strong in WSK and several countries (although not very strong in the UK apparently)

I will not be surprised if Singapore ends up with larger KF2 grids than the UK, the way the decline is being described in the forums.

S1 round 1 had 14 in KF2, so Kartright would need a full grid (max allowed is 15 or 16 right?) of KF2 engines to beat that. :wink:

hey Mikko, sadly I wouldnt think that would be hard to do - just need the KF2 owners to decide to race.

Local vendors having a field day selling KF2 engines now that new regulations are out with only a 3kg increase in weight limit from Max.

Was planning to run an X30, but decided to run a SA250 instead for the races - should be fun to see how it fares against the KFs.
