The CIK-FIA is way ahead of schedule compared to past years. In fact, it has already disclosed a provisional copy of 2016 racing calendar, based on the proposal advanced by WSK Promotion. All the schedule needs to become official is the final seal of approval of the FIA World Motor Sport Council, set to take place in Paris on the 30th of September.
In its press release, the Federation expresses regret for not having reached an agreement to include Germany and England in next year’s schedule. On the other hand, the selection and variety of countries set to host CIK-FIA events is truly remarkable: France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Sweden, and Bahrain. The last two countries will have the honor of hosting the World Championships, respectively for the KZ (along with the KZ2 World Cup) and for the new OK and OK-Junior non-shifter classes. The CIK-FIA decided to share the provisional racing calendar way ahead of time also to give teams and drivers sufficient time to organize their travels. In particular, for the Bahrain world event local organizers and WSK Promotion have agreed to offer a special support package to help entries contain costs and manage the logistics of the trip.
