The second decade of the SWS International Finals opened with a very successful event near Paris on the exceptional site of the Racing Kart de Cormeilles, endorsed by Jean-Eric Vergne. More than 300 drivers from 44 nations, divided into five categories, were able to give free rein to their passion during four days of intense and fair competition.
Ideal conditions
The track of the RKC is perfectly adapted to the SWS leisure karts for the International Finals and alternates with great fluidity between fast and technical sections for the greatest enjoyment of the drivers. The sunny weather during the entire event meant we saw superb battles at all levels, the prize for combativeness going to the Juniors as it does every year.
Innovations appreciated
The new rules adopted a format closer to that of high-level competition: Qualifying, Heats, Super Heats and Finals. Weight management was optimised to ensure greater fairness. The race control system managed by the WFR was used for the first time and provided irrefutable evidence to support the decisions of the stewards. Finally, the first Women's Cup, in response to a strong demand, proved to be very interesting.
A high quality event
The organiser 3MK Events proved once again its mastery of the subject in perfect harmony with the very professional team of the RKC. The Sodi Rental equipment was at its best as always: performance was the order of the day in all categories, accompanied by a high level of reliability to maximise enjoyment for the competitors. For example, the Sodi RT 10s in the Endurance Cup did not encounter any technical problems during the 12-hour race, which covered more than 750 km at an extremely fast pace.
