2014 FWT revised dates, venues and classes

FKP would like to extend its most sincere thanks to Jorge Arellano of Ocala Gran Prix for allowing this schedule revision to occur. It couldn’t have happened with his support, and the entire American karting community will benefit from his selfless act of camaraderie and sportsmanship. THANKS JORGE! 

OFFICIAL 2014 FWT FORMULA KART RACING PROGRAM 

Same event format as used in 2013. Three double-race-weekends. One drop race-day.

Each race day will consist of; qualifying, a heat race with the start order based on qualifying times, a second heat race with the start inverted from the qualifying times, and a final with the start order based on the points scored in the heat races. The winner of the final will be the daily winner. Cadet will run both heat races based on qualifying order. 
 

If a class has more than the maximum number of karts allowed to start a race (number according to the length of the track, according to the event organizer) the top XX karts after qualifying will advance directly to the first heat race. A second-chance-race/last-chance-qualifier will be run for the remaining karts. Top X will transfer to the first heat race. 

Points from the heat races and the final will count toward the FWT Formula Kart Racing Drivers Points Championship. Points from the final will count toward the FWT Manufacturers Championship and the FWT Nations Cup.
