No. 12 – May 2nd 2015
There is going to be a high-voltage weekend in Zuera for the second round of the CIK-FIA European KZ & KZ2 Championship. Today’s free practice took place on the circuit of Zuera in a summer-like climate, with the temperature which was always well above 20 degrees. This is a further obstacle for the 116 entrants who underwent scrutineering. The two six-speed gearbox categories arrived in Spain for the second out of three rounds of their Championship. But this weekend the facility in Aragon is hosting also the first round of the CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy, the single-make competition for junior drivers coming from 36 different countries from all around the world. Tomorrow morning, drivers are taking part in the first session of qualifying for the starting grid of the afternoon races. Drivers and teams are on a tight schedule: after the heats – on schedule in the evening – it will be time for the last and decisive phase of the event on Sunday. As usual, the media coverage of the championship is guaranteed by WSK promotion: the live streaming will be available on cikfia.tv and cikfiachampionship.com.
