Now that the titles of the French Karting Championship 2010 have been assigned, it is time to look back at a GPO 2010 season full of teachings. The FFSA evidently won its wager when it retook control of the organisation of the showcase series of French karting, attracting many national and foreign drivers. The addition of the French Cup has proved to be a good idea and a solution that will be maintained in future, too, to the satisfaction of everybody, drivers, teams, fans and organisers. The constant growth of the group of participants in KF3 – the junior category – is reassuring about the future of this event.
Overall, nearly 150 drivers entered the French Championship this season, in KF2, KF3, and KZ2. Considering the current context, this figure is very satisfactory, though organisers have stronger ambitions for the years to come.
18 chassis brands were represented since the opening meeting and it was Sodi that won the constructors’ championship in KF3 and KZ2, as well as the title of Champion of Champions, while Tony Kart was assigned the title in KF2.
The calendar for 2011 has already been prepared by the FFSA and dates have been carefully chosen to avoid interfering with other important meetings. The KF3, KF2 and KZ2 categories are traditionally the backbone of the calendar. Together, Rotax and Rotax Master have a fully-fledged French Cup title, while the National category – success obliges – will hold three meetings for the title, including two within the GPO framework.
