And now, Super KF !

Latest decisions of the FIA World Council and CIK:

The current KF1 category competing in the World and European Championships as well as in the World Cup will be split into two classes, with on the one hand a simplified (and, therefore, less costly) “KF1”, and on the other a “Super KF” mainly aimed at Manufacturer teams and teams closely related to these Manufacturers.

The choice of introducing a “Super KF” meets a request from most engine Manufacturers and from the main chassis Manufacturers, who wish to promote a more liberal category used as a showcase and offering a technological platform. Only the external aspect of the engine, the dimensions of the cylinder capacity, of the stroke, of the bore, of the maximum revs, of the con rod centreline and the homologations of the carburettor and of the ignition will have to comply with the existing KF1.

However, the CIK-FIA has considered as essential for Karting to remodel the KF1 category by making it more affordable technically (slowing of engine development, better reliability, recourse to additional homologated elements such as the exhaust and the reed box, or introduction of a regulated combustion chamber volume).

“Super KF” and “KF1 will compete together in the CIK-FIA Championships, but a «CIK-FIA Super Trophy» will be reserved for KF1.
