After careful consideration of circumstances and registrations, the CIK-FIA has decided to cancel the 2013 edition of the Talent Trophy, the federal event dedicated to the youngest racing talents.

The great breeding ground of motorsposrts, karting has long aimed at cultivating fresh young talent. Yet, lately it’s becoming increasingly difficult to plan events dedicated solely to this mission. The latest case in point is the cancellation of the 2013 CIK-FIA Talent Trophy, due to lack of opportune conditions and sufficent enties. As a consequence , the International Federation has also had to re-program the CIK-FIA Karting Academy, which was supposed to run jointly with the Talent: due to organizational difficulties of running it as a single event, it has been integrated with other CIK-FIA scheduled events.

Here are the new dates of the 2013 Academy Trophy :

round 1  - June 30th - Genk, Belgium

round 2 -  July 21st - Ortona, Italy

round 3 - September 22 - Varennes, France
