The 2012 calendar of the CIK-FIA Championships (partially) voted - from the CIK-FIA

The FIA World Motor Sport Council which met on 23 September in Singapore has validated the proposed calendar of the CIK-FIA Championships, Cups and Trophies submitted for the 2012 season. This proposal included most of the dates and venues selected for next season but the final and complete version of the calendar will be ratified at the next World Council session, in December.

The addition of one event to the calendar is being studied, and so is the entry of the Monaco Kart Cup; as for the CIK-FIA European Superkart Championship, it is yet to be finalised as it has only been possible to officialise two out of the three scheduled rounds.

The main change compared to the usual format of the CIK-FIA Championships concerns the European Championships of the KF2 and KF3 categories, the number of events of which is increased to two, in replacement of the current format which comprises two regional (North and South) qualification events followed by a final. Addition to the eligibility criteria governing the World Cups for these KF2 and KF3 categories: the mandatory participation in both rounds of the European Championship for those Drivers who have entered it.
