CIK-FIA “U18” World Championship 3rd Round to be Rescheduled
press release
The Commission Internationale de Karting of the FIA (CIK-FIA) today announced that the third rounds of the 2011 CIK-FIA “U18” World Championship and Academy Trophy races tabled for November 5th in Bahrain are set to be rescheduled.
Following discussions between the CIK, FIA, Bahrain Motor Federation and Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), it was mutually agreed that the Bahrain fixtures should be re-located for this season to bring the CIK-FIA in-line with the decision of the BIC last month to withdraw from hosting Bahrain’s Formula 1 Grand Prix during this season’s racing calendar.
CIK-FIA recognise the extraordinary effort and investment made by the BIC in the construction and establishment of a new state-of-the-art Karting track, which was due to be unveiled at November’s races, and very much looks forward to the Bahrain event returning to next year’s CIK-FIA calendar.
The new venue and timings for this year’s third round competition legs will be announced by the CIK-FIA over the coming days and it is hoped that the fixture dates themselves will remain largely unaltered.
