Kaligis / RGMMC Media, M.van Delft / Formulakart.nlAs many of you will know, I had the honour of stepping into the role of CIK-FIAPresident only 10 months ago, taking up the reigns from outgoing President NicolasDeschaux. A great many of the changes for good now being introduced in the sport areas a result of Nicolas’ enormous efforts. To Nicolas go my personal thanks and, I know,those of everyone here, for his diligent stewardship of the sport over the past year.In addition, I have been joined by new Vice-President Kees van de Grint. Kees hasof course a long and illustrious career in Motorsport and a wealth of experience inKarting. He is a huge asset for the CIK-FIA. Last year was a year of positive change inthe sport and this has been confirmed by a strong start to the 2011 season.The event hosted this weekend by Genk is touched by some of the positive changesintroduced for 2011. In the vast scene of CIK-FIA competitions, the CIK-FIA World Cupfor KZ2 is new. Its big participation figures recorded here bespeaks that introducingthis event was a good decision. We know to what extent Genk was motivated at thethought of hosting a round counting towards the World KF1 Championship and theseWorld Cups for KZ karts. In essence, our year ahead will be focused on three keychallenges.Firstly – accessibility and participation. Karting remains a key entry point forMotorsport, not only as a proven training ground for the F1 champions of tomorrow butalso as an affordable, accessible participation sport for genuine enthusiasts.Secondly – expanding new horizons. It would be all too easy to sit back and focus onKarting’s traditional geographic strongholds. Our vision however is far wider than this.In much the same way that Formula One hascontinued to explore new territories and expand itsGeoffroy Theunisreach to new audiences, we want to explore newGeneral Manager RACB Sportfrontiers for Karting.Thirdly – increasing commercial potential.

The magazine also coversinternational events and national championshipswww.vroom.itBoy Pijls RaceSince we revamped the ‘old school’ kart track in 2005, KartingGenk had already hosted numerous prestigious internationalchampionships. During these races, many young talenteddrivers laid the future for their motorsport careers: Jarno Trulli,Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, and JerômeD’ambrosio all raced during their younger years at our karttrack.With the new facility, our objective was to create aninternational race track that could renew with this traditionbut that would even serve as a reference in the world ofinternational racing. During the last 3 years Karting Genk hashosted numerous European and international top level eventsbut it is the organization of the World Championship that putsthe icing on the cake. I would like to thank the CIK-FIA and theRACB for the trust they placed in our track and team to hostthis prestigious event.Karting Genk is not only the place for international racersto come and do their thing, the facility also offers thelowest threshold for people to come and enjoy the thrillsof motorsport: recreational and rental kart drivers, offeringthem quality and service. More and more companies find theaccess to our facilities with our wide range of activities andincentives. All year long a growing number of tourists discoverthe thrills of karting.Due to the hard work of a small team of people, KartingGenk is growing and creating more and more touristic andeconomical impact. Just as an example: through our activitieswe generate a hotel capacity of around 10.000 beds. This iswhat makes us proud and keeps us going: making KartingGenk a brand name and a landmarkwhere people can enjoy themselves.OrganiserBeing a kart race organizer is not so different from being a driver. You want tobe the best at your game, and set the highest goals. In order to achieve this, youmust work hard and you need the support of a well trained team. The highest goalfor a kart racing driver, is winning the World Championship. The highest goal fora kart racing organization, is organizing it In order to achieve this goal, we’vebeen working hard for the past 6 years, since we redid the track and its facilities.We’ve organized many national and international events, such as the Euromax, CIKand WSK races. During these events, we gained a lot of experience in how to professionalize the way these events are run, and we managed to build a great teamof helpers, who each have their function. Without such a team, no organization ispossible. We believe that after these years of hard work, we gained the confidenceof the CIK-FIA. They believe we’re capable of making the best of this mayor event.Same for the City of Genk en Limburg. They support is in every possible way they can. So it’s obvious I’d liketo thank each and every man or woman who worked on this event, and thank the CIK, Limburg and Genk for alltheir support. I hope that all drivers enjoy their time in Genk, regardless of the results you’ll make. And I hopethat each visitor will see what they came for: Amazing races by the best kart drivers in the World. Good luck toall drivers. Give it all you have !Boy Pijls - Karting Genk – Race Organiser.Finally I would like to thank allour partners, our sponsors, thecity of Genk and the province ofLimburg for their support in creatingthis event and especially all thevolunteers and people, whatevertheir function, in making thishappen!Met vriendelijke groeten,Kind Regards,Salutations Distinguées,Koen Lemmens5
WELCOMEall things easierHermanReyndersLimburg GovernorHelmet and race gloves on. Right foot on the gas and left foot on the brake. Only a fewcentimeters above the ground. The adrenaline rushes trough your vains. The experienceof speed, the feeling of being a race driver, is something you can experience in a kart.It’s not so strange that karting is the ideal cocktail for drivers dreaming of being informula 1. There is no better school to gain driving experience and competition ritme.All the examples are there: Michael Schumacher, Jenson Button, Sebatian Vettel andrecently Jerome D’Ambrosio. Almost 90% of all F1 drivers started their career inkarting. But keep both feet on the ground: Getting in formula 1 is not that simple.Karting competition is probably not that well known for the big public, certainly notin Limburg. And that’s a shame, certainly with a race track like Genk in the area,being among the best tracks in Europe. Maintaining this high level track will be achallenge for the future. This can only be achieved by investing and anticipating tonew technologies, ecologic issues and environmental challenges. Limburg wants to beCO2 neutral before 2020. It is my opinion that Limburg will not only become a exampleregion, but will also be more interesting for investors or be a better place to live. Thisambition requires an effort by all of us. Everybody has to work along, to change theirway of living, also the sport sector.From 1 till 4 September karting Genk will be the host of the World Championship SKFand the World Cup KZ1 KZ2. The best drivers of the world will gather to fight forthese titles. For 4 days, Genk and Limburg will be the beating heart of motorsport. I’dlike to congratulate the organization of Karting Genk for hosting this event. A rewardfor all the hard work they’ve put in to it the last years I wish all the drivers and teams the best of luck, and some amazing races for theaudience.And when all the racing is finished, know that Limburg has also so many other thingsto offer.

No less than one out of three inhabitants of Genk ismember of a sports club, but besides this fact we also succeed in getting organized top-classevents, due to the great infrastructure, of which ‘Karting Genk’ is a good example.So we organized, early in June – in cooperation with Hasselt - the thirtieth edition of ‘The NationalSpecial Olympics’ and in August we were host for the third time of ‘The Eneco Tour’.Genk is also a city of championships. This can be proved by ‘The FIA World Championship Karting2011’ that will take place on the 3th and 4th of September. Wesupport the efforts that the clubs make to realize such great events.For this reason this championship scopes perfectly in the urbansports policy, in which this city attempts to create an offer of highquality facilities for the set up of top sports. In addition we encourage talented youth!We are proud that ‘Karting Genk’ took the opportunity to organizethis great event and congratulate them with the excellent organisation. We would like to wish the organisation, the participants andthe spectators a pleasant day in our city!Luc DullersWim DriesAlderman for sportsMayor7
a look backWORLD KARTINGCHAMPIONSHIP:A HISTORYWhere it all beginsIt’s quite normal to feel a shiver in ourspine when we look at the long listof international awards given from1964 to 2010. Important, well-knownnames in motorsport, run under oureyes; drivers, factories and teams,all printed in black and white, namesof people who have worked in thisfield, who have made it all happen.all successors of Bruno Grana - thefather of karting and of “Made in Italy”industrial evolution - starting fromthe Sala family who still head theBirel group, to Calogero Vanaria whoset up Kalikart and the Pavesi familywho still run their business as in theold days, to the modern times withGiancarlo Tinini’s CRG and RobertoRobazzi’s Tonykart. There are peoplewho caught the contagious diseaseof karting, Mike Wilson and TerryFullerton for example, and others whohave passed through the maze ofkarting like Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna,Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton,Fernando Alonso and SebastianVettel (just to mention the mostprominent); all ambitious who weredestined to other things in life.And this shows that the list ofwinners doesn’t tell the whole story.More often than not, only the nameof the winner is given, when maybe8Terry Fullerton - Nivelles (B) 1973the second and third finished onlya breath away and would deservea mention too. But despite Prost,Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton, Alonsoand Vettel never made it to the topof the world in karting, that’s wherethey learned the craft, where theyimproved the technique, where theyfinally owned the skill.Over all these years, the technicalprogress has been accompanied byjust as many regulatory amendments.Formula K, Formula Super A, FormulaA, Super ICC and lately KF1 areexamples of the classes that havebeen abandoned over the years. Butone thing stands: the CIK WorldChampion is always one, and oneonly.Wilson, Forsman, Danielsson - Kalmar (S) 1982Gianluca Beggio, 5-time World Champion in gearbox classForgotten winnersThe first kart dates back to 1956,but it was in 1964 that the first CIKWorld Championship award wasgiven. And yet, before this, WorldChampionship team races wereheld, like the meeting in 1961 at thePista Rossa in Milan, even thoughthere was no international federationthen. And so, despite previouschampionships held with relativewinners, they decided to “forget”these races and declare Guido Salafirst World Champion when he won in1964 on Iame-powered Tecno kart.‘90s Italian hopefuls: J.Trulli, D.Rossi, G.FisichellaFrancesco Laudato - Carole (F) 1999
a look backThe protagonists10Over the past 58 years, anumber of drivers have stoodout. We take a look at those whohave gone down in history. Webegin with the very first killerof the game: Belgian FrancoisGoldstein who took 4 WorldChampionship consecutivetitles between ’69 and ’72 andcame back to his 5th title in ’75(for the record he also finished2nd in ’67 and 3rd in ’74). Andthe competition was tough: theBelgian had to fight againstBriton Terry Fullerton (who wonin ’73), Riccardo Patrese andEddy Cheever - respectivelyWorld Champion and runnerup in ’74 -, and other importantnames such as Elio De Angelis(2nd in ’75) and Alain Prost (whowould go on to become 4-timeF1 World Champion).The history of karting wasthen marked with fire by fourexceptional drivers: Mike Wilson,Terry Fullerton, Lars Forsmanand Ayrton Senna. Forsmanhas probably been the biggesttalent from Sweden that kartinghas ever had. He just missedthe title three times (’81, ’82,’83) and he took 3rd twice(’78, ’84). Together with RonniePeterson (3rd in 1966 WorldChampionship and twice F1 vicechampion) Forsman certainlyshared nationality, talent and badluck.F1 legend Ayrton Senna cameclose to getting the title twice,in ’79 and in ’80 both timesfinishing 2nd. The first timehe lost in Estoril on equalpoints with Peter Koene. Thesecond time he lost to Peterde Bruijn in Nivelles. Talkingabout Senna, Fullerton says:“When I heard that he’d startedracing in Formula 1, I knewhe’d make it.” But when askedwho was the best driver ofall times, both Fullerton andWilson automatically answer “Iam!” And Mike has somethingto brag about, as he’s the onlydriver in karting history to havetaken six World Champion titlesbetween 1981 and 1989. Andyet, as if this weren’t enough,Wilson has also a missed win:his engine betrayed him whileleading the last lap of the Worldchampionship in 1984, whichwent to Joern Haase.Closer to our times, between1986 and 1995 today’s “old”F1 drivers were writing thehistory of karting. Schumacher,Hakkinen, Fisichella, Trulli, Buttonand this is just to mention a few.But before they actually madeit to the top of motorsport, theywere trading places with thebest in karting. One above all,5-time world champion – oneof which in the master gearboxcategory - Danilo Rossi, whotogether with MassimilianoOrsini, Nicola Giannimberti andAlessandro Manetti shared thetop spot for the biggest partof the ‘90s. In the late ‘90sand early 2000s, Davide Forèwould be the one to take onRossi’s legacy by grabbing 5world titles – one of which inthe master gearbox category. Inhis path he will find the presentgeneration of F1 drivers: LewisHamilton, Fernando Alonso, KimiRaikkonen, Heikki Kovalainen,Davide Forè - Ugento (I) 1998Ayrton Senna on the way to becoming a Formula 1 legendJonathan Thonon, 3-time World Cup for KZ1 winnerAlessandro Piccini - Parma (I) 1991Tonio Liuzzi and Michael Schumacher - Kerpen (D) 2001Francois Goldstein - Rivalta (I) 1971Nico Rosberg, Robert Kubica,and Tonio Liuzzi, the only oneto have left a mark in the WorldChampionship by taking the titlein 2001. Another Italian driver,Marco Ardigò, has ruled for twoyears in a row clinching theWorld Championship crown in2007 and 2008.Four names stand out in themaster gearbox category:Gianluca Beggio, 5-time worldchampion (’95-’98, 2000);Alessandro Piccini, 4-time worldchampion in ’87, ‘90, ’91 and‘93; Francesco Laudato, 2-timeworld champion in ’99 and2005. To get to the present time,with Jonathan Thonon ready tobag yet another title after thethree consecutive crowns wonbetween 2007 and 2009.Battle of equipmentEngine - Parilla and TM at the topExcept for the 10 WorldChampionship titles taken byKomet up until 1989 – sixof which by 6-times WorldKarting Champion Mike Wilson- there seems to be no doubtsabout results concerningengines. Having won 12 WorldChampionship titles, the successM.Ardigò, 2-time World Champion and twice World Cup runner-upof Parilla engines is a historythat spreads over 58 years,starting with the very first titleawarded to Guido Sala in 1964,to the latest World ChampionNyck de Vries who took the2010 crown
