The Motor Sports Association (MSA) can confirm that the CIK-FIA’s detachable front fairing mounting kit will become mandatory in the UK from 1 March 2016, and will be provided for in the regulations from 1 January.

Nigel Edwards, Chairman of the Kart Committee, said: “This will be a game changer! It isn't just about the new front nose cone attachment; it's about changing the mentality of the drivers. For years the sport has been blighted with contact driving and this will change that for the better.”
