New Version CIK Bumper Returns


  25 April 2015
 

As of Monday 4 May, a new front fairing system will come into use at all CIK-FIA internatonal events. The governing body has just released a bulletin regarding the new front fairing mounting kit - read it HERE.

The system is similar to the one that was recently outlawed, but once dislodged, the bumper just gets pushed backwards in the bracket and does not drop down.

"After thorough on-track testing, in varied situations reflecting race conditions as closely as possible, the CIK-FIA has now validated the new definition of the front fairing mounting kit in a bid to institute greater sportsmanship and respect in karting Competitions by punishing bad behaviour" the organisiation stated. 

CIK-FIA Bulletin N° 40 – 04/05-2015 cancels and replaces the previous version.
