CIK-FIA KZ & KZ2 European Championships at Wackersdorf – Preview

CIK-FIA KZ and KZ2 European Championship begins.
The CIK-FIA European Championship for the KZ and KZ2 categories is about to start with its first out of two rounds of 2013 calendar. The opening event is being hosted by the International Circuit of Wackersdorf, in Germany, next weekend from 15th to 19th May. This is the first CIK-FIA event organized according to the new guidelines and, from this year, promoted by WSK Promotion.

World wide TV promotion.
The main characteristic of the events promoted by WSK Promotion is the wide range communication, particularly focused on the broadcasting of the races  through the Internet. In this sense, the live streaming system is already fully operative through the web channels www.cikfiachampionship.com and www.cikfia.tv. It will be possible to view the images of the final phase of the event of both the categories and on both the channels on Sunday 19th May. The TV broadcasting of the event, on the other hand, will be available on RAI Sport on Tuesday 21st May, with the pre-recorded broadcasting of the event from 9.00pm.

The protagonists in Wackersdorf.
There are overall 140 entrants to the event, in both the categories. For all of them, the program is very demanding given the great importance of the championship. The first out of two days of free practice starts on Wednesday 15th May. Then qualifying practice and heats on Friday 17th May. Saturday 18th will be entirely dedicated to the heats which precede the final phase of Sunday 19th May. This year’s edition has got a further innovation: a double Pre-final reserved to the KZ2 category. The first 68 drivers after qualifying heats will take part in the two races. The first 34 will qualify for the final as well as the first 34 drivers of KZ.
