Just wondering, Who is interested in running KF3 overseas?
Because Dad might be able to promote KF3 into Australia, as we already have all the KF3 equiptment, we may be able to show everyone what it looks like, and how ffaasstt it can go.
Dad might even to be able to create KF3 as a RACING CATEGORY at Geelong, so when people go overseas to race KF3 we will have more experience.
We shall be going to Europe to race in September.
Anybody interested in KF3, please respond.

hey
whats the cost on kf3 compard to say f100
kf3 is juniors.
and yeah, it would be very, very expensive.
but good luck promoting it..
as it is the highest class of junior karting available
Hey Ricky don't take this the wrong way, but is there really any point to bring it in ... i mean we already have 2 Junior Performance classes, JMAX and Jnuior Clubman (i know it's nearly dead but it's still breathing) ... so wouldn't it just be clogging up our race days even more ???
i can see where you're coming from with giving Austrlian drivers experience for overseas racing but can you see where i'm coming from ????
Ah mate noone goes overseas to race karts for Australia apart from the world titles, Daniel Rochford and myself so there isnt a need for this class also noone will buy all the equipment to race at one track anyway and there isnt a chance of it expanding because its too expensive anyway.
Good luck with your race in september. You will find the racing there is 10x tougher then here so be warned lol
i reckon this is a great idea, i think it would be great to get a international class like this up and running for juniors. i would be very interested in running this class maybe if there was a big high profile meeting for it every year.
im pretty interested, if it was promoted for this year?
maybe F100 nationals and a few meets at geelong?
for the people who are against this..... why dont we just give it a shot?
yehh not to many aussies race over seas but if we have the chance to bring the european "style" of racing to australia im sure every1 will enjoy karting a lot more... and as for j's..... y are we wasting out time watching seniors go around at the same speed as midgets?
so many international racers are such top drivers, because they've grown up racing the best of the best.... not putting around in mini water pumps...
y dont we make JC... and JMAX the classes to run around in and be up there, but the KF3 premier class, just like it used to be (Piston Port)
im sure if Frank Capo can promote the class well, support and maybe even deal KF3, the class will go a long way
good luck with everything and good luck in september ricky =)

im with you on that shaun. we probably already have too many classes in karting, so as good as KF3 may be I don't think it would be good for the sport.

maybe the aka need to reconsider some of the classes they run....?
and also if frank capo was willing to work with Dom Albenese and IDK?
this might really take off
KF1 entries in Europe dropped from 160 in 2000, to 34 this year.
CIK is declining all around the world, and it seems the trends are lending towards your Rotax Classes and such.
I don't see how a class with 34 entries can be considered the elite of karting anymore.
If you want to make a move to open wheelers, I doubt CIK would be the best move, drive the most competitive thing you can until you are 14, then straight to Europe for FF.

No question the CIK has dropped the ball with KF1. It may take some time to sort it out

I think that 400 entries in the qualifing rounds for the European Championships indicate that these classes seem to be working well.
There is now a proposal to run slightly uprated KF3s for Seniors in the UK
http://www.karting1.co.uk/news/?p=725
The FIA-CIK Euro Champs entires are down for KF1 but KF2 entires in this series are huge... 150+
The reason for this is most of the factory teams are focusing on WSK (wasnt around in the year 2000) and racking Super KF.
SKF at the WSK receives about 60 entries each round.
Plus, its not just about the numbers, but about the quality of racers. Saying the Rotax Max Challenge is the pinnacle of the sport, and not CIK is a joke.
I could sit here and say the IAME world finals (using the X30) is the pinnacle of the sport, but we all know its now true.
CIK is where the best karters are. Its that simple.
Hi Guys
Come and race KF3 in New Zealand. Class is steadily growing and is replacing JICA. We have a four round series running plus KF3 becomes a Championship class for Island and National Championships from August 2009 plus for 2010 CIK Trophy of NZ. You can also go to Macau for Asia Pacific Champs in October (support class to SKF World Championships). To date our engine has been reliable with pistons lasting 4 1/2 hours and still going strong.
