International Magazine – KARTCOM News #40 – Free download

Smile, spring is here! The cold weather that prevailed in part of Europe did not favour the early season competitions. Accidents in NSK at Le Mans, cancellation of the WSK Super Master at Lonato in the snow and a deluge at the Margutti Trophy are the most outstanding examples. Drivers, however, showed the courage to line up at the start of the races. There were a few record highs, particularly in Italy. The OK and OK-Junior categories are doing well in terms of international participants.

Beyond its consequences and the search for responsibility, the Le Mans accident must make people reflect on the media treatment of such events. Communication has made a lot of progress in the world of karting, but there is still much to be done to make the attractive and sporting aspect of the competition take precedence over the sensational. All of the stakeholders in the discipline must be concerned and work to develop the good image of karting. Organisers, media, and enthusiasts must fight together against the out-of-control social networks at each disaster. Clicking on the link of a video, sharing publications or giving an audience to certain sites is not without repercussions …

With the expected arrival of spring, the pace of racing will accelerate at all levels. The first regional, national and international deadlines are already in sight. Let’s all keep in mind the pleasure of racing, the only real challenge of our sport and savour every moment of this consuming passion that Kartcom News shares every month in order to promote the image of karting. KSP Reportages’ free digital magazine will soon be celebrating its fourth birthday and attracts nearly 20,000 readers worldwide to each issue.
