“The KZ2 karts are a real spectacle and the gearbox machines always put on a good show. We have three rounds already in place for 2021 and we are looking at running a fourth once again. We hope to have that confirmed as soon as possible to allow our competitors plenty of time to prepare for the new season.”

Safety remains the championship’s priority and when the new season begins, all venues and events will continue have the appropriate measures in place.
