The International Karting Commission (CIK) held its latest meeting in Paris last Friday. Outcomes were:
2016 Calendar
A proposal submitted by WSK Promotion has been accepted by the CIK Commission. The CIK was not able to reach an agreement with the organisers to run events in Germany or Great Britain. (To be confirmed, the calendar below must be approved at the next FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting on September 30.)
The Bahrain International Circuit has offered significant support for the OK World Championship event in November. From Sunday 13th November to Sunday, November 20th, the Bahrain International Circuit will provide each driver with a double room in one of the finest Bahrain's hotels, including breakfast and buffet lunch and dinner every day at the circuit. A free shuttle service between the airport, hotel and the circuit will be set up for the duration of the stay. All transport costs for shipping and storage of equipment for the teams will be paid between Italy and the circuit, each way return. The delivery of the necessary equipment, up to 100 kg per Driver, will be provided by a specific air service. Complete assistance will also be provided for all customs formalities to and from the port of Bahrain. "These exceptional Competition conditions will ensure that Sakhir will be at least as accessible as a European Competition, if not better" the CIK wrote.
Adjustment of the time penalty concerning front fairings
The penalty for a dropped nose cone has reduced from 30 seconds to 10 seconds and will be automatically imposed without appeal. Any Driver found to have intentionally placed their front fairing out of position on the final lap or after the chequered flag will be excluded from the Competition. This decision takes effect immediately, with the sole exception of the 2015 CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy which has already completed two of its three Competitions according to the previous regulation.
