KZ2 possibly in line to inherit MSA British Championship status.

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

To call the path the MSA British Karting Championship has been on over the last few years a ‘rocky road’ would be an understatement. Combating the tide of single-spec classes, the CIK’s introduction of KF in 2007 only helped grease the slippery slide of elite level single-gear karting around the world, including the UK.

British Karting Championship to go single make!

Friday, June 22nd, 2012

At first glance the MSA’s invitation to tender for promotion and organisation of the British Karting Championship is a pretty standard affair. However, the MSA have dictated that they want next year’s championship to be a single-manufacturer based championship.
