Ken Walker: Speaker at Ciao Thomas Knopper Memorial & Graf Berghe von Trips Memorial

Ken Walker will be Speaker at this year’s Ciao Thomas Knopper Event. Ken is widely recognised as a top Kart Speaker and has been the Kart Series Speaker on 3 different continents (Europe, Asia, North America) and twice the Speaker at a National Championship on a 4th Continent (Africa). Ken has been the regular Speaker at all of the Rotax World Challenge Grand Finals since 2003 and at 6 of the 7 CIK World Championships since 2007. He was present at the 2014 events of both World Championships. He regularly travels all over the World – China, South Africa, Indonesia, USA etc - for kart racing duties and first saw Thomas race when Thomas won the 2nd round of the Rotax Euro Challenge at Eindhoven, NL in May 2004. He has cancelled an engagement in USA so that he can come to Kerpen because, in his words, ‘I very much want to be the Speaker at Kerpen and pay my respects to Thomas and his memory’

It goes without saying that we, as a family, were dumbstruck when Ken Walker contacted us and offered to come to Kerpen at his own expense. Mr. Walker: We are incredibly grateful and proud that you will be joining us in Kerpen on October 25 & 26 October!

On behalf of Thomas as well: Thank you so much...
