SEMI-PRO & PRO CLUB RACE – FKI-RACING CHAMPIONSHIP – Wednesday evening

The Semi-Pro & Pro club races on Wednesday evenings are intended for drivers with racing experience who want to compete against other strong drivers within the FKI-Racing Championship.

These club races take place on the indoor and outdoor track of First Kart ’Inn, where speed, technique, race insight and close wheel-to-wheel racing take center stage.

Drivers must be comfortable racing in a fast group and familiar with defending their position correctly, overtaking safely and racing among other experienced drivers.

Drivers must have sufficient driving skills and full knowledge of flags and safety rules.Terms such as racing line, slipstream, defending position and late braking should be familiar.

Drivers who still lack sufficient racing experience are advised to first join the Rookie & Amateur club races on Saturday evening.

To keep the level safe and sporty, the organization may immediately remove any driver from the track in case of unsafe, unpredictable or obstructive driving.
