Entries to the WSK Champions Cup open on 20th January

Preparations for the forthcoming season are already in full swing. The season opens officially on 20th January. From today, in fact, it will be possible to fill the on-line entry form to the 2014 WSK Champions Cup. The series is the opening event of the 2014 WSK Promotion season. The two rounds are on schedule for the weekends of 2nd and 9th March in Muro Leccese (Lecce), on the International circuit La Conca. The link for the entry form to the two-round series is on the official web-page www.wsk.it.

New points scoring system for the race format

WSK competitions are characterised by a race format which allows drivers to give it their all and give supporters the opportunity to enjoy thrilling duels until the last round. WSK has always stuck to this principle and it is according to this idea of competition that WSK has introduced, this year, the double pre-final for all the categories and a progressive points scoring system. Each round, in fact, will award a progressive amount of points, race after race: this solution will guarantee close quarter battles also in the last round of the season. A first proof of the effectiveness of this system will be the WSK Champions Cup, as well as the following WSK Super Master Series, in three rounds.

The schedule of the 2014 season was completed at the end of 2013, when also the venue of the WSK Final Cup was decided. The race will be hosted on 2nd November by the brand-new karting racetrack of Adria, which is going to be built. Works for the new facility were announced during the Gala Dinner. The track will be built right next to the existing car-racing circuit of Adria and it will be ready to host the WSK Final Cup by the end of the season.
