Formula Kart releases official dates and venues for 2009 Florida Winter Tour

Formula Kart Productions today released the official 2009 Florida Winter Tour dates and venues.
 
The Florida based karting series, consisting of the largest Rotax Max Challenge series in the world and the only North American series offering the CIK KF categories, is arguably the largest sprint karting series in the America’s, and one of the largest in the world. The 2009 FWT will continue with the double-race-weekend format adopted in 2004, and the twice-a-month format adopted in 2007, providing the best opportunity to maximize the “Serious Fun!” that has become the trademark of this popular racing program.
 
The “first” weekend of each of the three months of competition will feature the FWT International Rotax Max Challenge, an international, open license Rotax Max Challenge. Champions from that series will be awarded direct-transfer spots to the 2009 Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals and the U.S. and Mexican Rotax Grand Nationals. Other awards for the FWT IRMC include Skip Barber Racing School 3-day Driver Schools, an exclusive Ferrari Driving Experience weekend at Mont Tremblant, Canada, and several other valuable awards. The retail value of all the awards available at the 2009 FWT IRMC is currently in access of $65,000.
