CIK-FIA KF1 World

ZUERA – 24/07/2012

Zuera belongs to the generation of the many new circuits which were built in Spain as a result of the booming interest created by Fernando Alonso’s access to Formula One after his brilliant career in Karting. Its course is rather atypical for a Karting track, with its length of 1,700 metres and its width of 10 metres. So karts run there with a very long crown ratio, and the average speed is over 100 km/h. The slipstream effect is important, which further adds a particular and unusual character to events held there. Having already hosted several European Championships, Zuera organised in 2010 the single-round World Championship, then reserved for KF2. The World Championship returned to that circuit this year, but in its new format and Zuera was its second stage out of a total of five.
