The 2012 CIK-FIA Championships begin this weekend with the European Superkarts going to the famous circuit at Hockenheim, Germany, for rounds 1 and 2 of their 8 round Series.
The Series has been expanded for 2012 with events in 4 countries: Hockenheim, Germany; Snetterton, GB; Assen, Holland; and Le Mans, France. 2 rounds will be raced at each event and the Championship will be decided by a Driver’s best 7 results in the 8 rounds.
The choice of these countries means that rounds will be staged in all of the leading Superkart racing nations with the exception of Sweden who have indicated that they will bid to stage a round in 2013.
The 2011 Championship was one of the best ever with the title only being decided in the final race of the season when the two top contenders, on equal points, started on the front row. It was a great race with Emmanuel Vinuales of France easing his way past defending Champion Gavin Bennett of Great Britain to take the Championship. The much improved German, Daniel Hentschel was third in the standings and all 3 Drivers are likely to feature strongly in 2012.
