Notes

  • More announcements are expected soon.
  • A lot of this has alread appeared in my column in Karting Magazine.
  • If you have a firm deal and you aren’t on here, please email me at maryann@kartlink.com.
  • KZ1 drivers usually drop down to KZ2 outside the European Championships as KZ1 isn’t available, and often KF1 drivers do KZ1 or KZ2 as well.
  • Coming soon will be a list of drivers who have gone to cars.
