The 2014 Academy Trophy used the new front fascia fixing approved for 2015 for the 2nd time in Sarno, which aim to reduce or eliminate contact between karts.
The first case of proven cheating was discovered during timed practice on the machine of the American Michael Benyahia. Glue was placed on the mounting to prevent the spoiler from coming loose. It begs the question of the usefulness of such an action during qualifying, but it might have been effective in the heats. However Benyahia will not participate in the heats. The official reaction was implacable: exclusion from the event.
For fans, the message is clear for the upcoming season.
