11 French drivers start at La Conca

There were only eight last year in this first meeting of the WSK Master Series, while the entries went from 218 to 194, for an event run a month earlier in 2013, 2 weeks before the Winter Cup.

Of the 28 drivers in KZ2, Jérémy Iglesias (Lenzo / LKE) and Charly Bizalion (BRM / TM) will defend the colors of France with new equipment and a new team. KF (ex-KF2) has 47 including four French drivers: Valentin Moineault (ART GP / TM), Dorian Boccolacci (Energy / TM) up from KF3 and Paul Boutonnet (Zanardi / Parilla), the three young drivers also on new equipment at La Conca, while the experienced Armand Convers (Kosmic / Vortex) will be compared to the younger drivers after coming back to non-gearbox after three seasons in KZ.

As always, KFJ (ex-KF3) is most popular with 61 registered drivers. Again there are four French drivers, with Gabriel Aubry (Birel / TM), Arthur Lehouck (Lenzo / LKE), Julien Darras (Tony Kart / Vortex) and the newcomer Giulliano Alesi (Intrepid / TM), the only driver to run under this brand. Missing from the first published entry lists, Bryan Elpitiya (Zanardi / Parilla) is still alive and well in La Conca, bringing to 11 the number of french drivers at the meeting.
