The news was announced by the FIA President Jean Todt himself, at the ceremony celebrating the 2012 champions: “This is the first time that the CIK-FIA has a promoter. The fact of entrusting WSK Promotion with the organisation of the World and European Championships constitutes the best choice for the future of karting.” CIK-FIA President Shaikh Abdulla bin Isa Al Khalifa also commented the important decision: “We can be optimistic for the future of karting: the choice of leaving the organisation of the most important events to Luca de Donno will bring advantages to this sport.” The CIK-FIA Vice President Kees Van de Grint also echoed the sentiment, by adding: “In our opinion, we have taken the right path. This is a positive change, which will produce its first results already during the 2013 season”. The paddock of the opening round of the Master Series showed the first signs of this epochal change: for the first time, in fact, WSK Promotion’s vehicles had traded their WSK 2013 distinguishing colours for the new blue and WSK Master Series gold bands that represent the CIK-FIA.

La decisione di affidare l’organizzazione di mondiali ed europei a WSK Promotion è la scelta migliore per il futuro del karting”. Non sono mancati anche i commenti del presidente della CIK-FIA, Shaikh Abdulla bin Isa Al Khalifa, che ha dichiarato: “Possiamo essere ottimisti per il futuro del karting: la decisione di affidare l’organizzazione dei principali eventi a Luca De Donno non potrà che portare vantaggi a questo sport”. A ribadire l’importanza della notizia è stato anche il vice presidente della CIK-FIA, Left to right: the President of the CIK-FIA, Shaikh Abdulla bin Isa Al Kees Van de Grint: “Siamo convinti di essere Khalifa, WSK Promotion’s Luca De Donno, the President of the FIA, sulla giusta strada, questo è un cambiamento Jean Todt and the CIK-FIA Vice President, Kees Van de Grint. positivo che produrrà i suoi risultati già nella Da sinistra a destra: il Presidente della CIK-FIA, Shaikh Abdulla bin stagione 2013”.

  • Daly 'Breaks His Duck' – American Star Mazda Champion Conor Daly Scores First Gp3 Win
    DALY 'BREAKS HIS DUCK' – AMERICAN STAR MAZDA CHAMPION CONOR DALY SCORES FIRST GP3 WIN Barcelona, Spain / May 13, 2012 -- American Conor Daly – the 2010 champion in the Star Mazda Championship presented by Goodyear -- proudly celebrated with the stars and stripes flag aloft after claiming his first win in the GP3 Series with a faultless display in Race 2 at the Circuit de Catalunya. It was the first podium finish of his GP3 career and he was joined by Robert Visoiu (Jenzer Motorsport) and Matias Laine (MW Arden). The race started under menacing dark clouds but the rain stayed away for the race with cooler temperatures than yesterday. Reverse Pole man was Visoiu but he was beaten at the start by a fast charging Tio Ellinas from the front row. Unfortunately for the Marussia Manor Racing driver, stewards found him to have made a jump start, therefore Ellinas served a drive through penalty and sacrificed the lead of the race. Carmen Jorda was also given a penalty for making a jump start. Lap one was eventful with four cars retiring from the race after clashing at turn 4. Dmitry Suranovich, Robert Cregan, Antonio Spavone and Tamas Pal Kiss were all involved in the incident. Mitch Evans also suffered a rear left puncture in a separate incident and had to make a quick dash into the pitlane which cost him valuable positions after victory in yesterday’s opener. The first few laps were close with Ellinas leading Daly, Visoiu, David Fumanelli and Aaro Vainio. The son of former F1 driver Derek Daly then took over P1 and had a half a second advantage over the Jenzer Motorsport rookie.
