Opened in July 2015, the complex of La Morgal, near Oviedo, was born from the will of the double F1 World Champion to create a venue dedicated to motorsport near his hometown of Oviedo. The Fernando Alonso karting circuit is integrated with a complex also including a driving school for youngsters and a museum retracing the career of the “bull of Asturias” as he is nicknamed by his fans. The 1390m long CIK-FIA-approved track features characteristic passages from several prestigious tracks such as the Suzuka “S” curves, the first curve of Jarama and the last curve of Valencia, as well as the chicane from the legendary Parma track, the epitome of karting which has now disappeared. Everyone is eager to enjoy these new features in race conditions.
The weekend of 10th and 11th June 2017 will be part of the CIK-FIA European Championships with 160 Drivers entered. This will be the third of the four European Competitions for the factory Drivers in KZ, while the OK and OK-Junior categories will compete in the second Competition of a busy season, which has five Competitions to decide the titles.
COMPKART will have its young driver Dante Yu, no stranger to the world stage of Karting competiting in the OK Sr. category for this exciting round of the CIK Championship. Yu will be looking to advance from his experiences gained at the first round held earlier in Sarno, Italy. Missing from the event for the team is Nicholas d’Orlando who will return to the third round in Le Mans, France also to be joined by additional resources in France during the month of July.
“We are enthusiastic to continue to build on our previous experiences and also test our materials at the worlds toughest stage.” – Management
