I would like to thank our motorsport community for its incredible response to the challenges we are facing. From across the country, from our clubs, officials and competitors, venues, teams and engineering firms there is a solidarity to face the crisis and work together to find solutions. We thank all of the medical teams across the UK for working tirelessly to keep us safe, and in particular the huge number from our own community who are in the front line of this battle.

Since its communication this past Monday, MSA has been closely monitoring the developments with regard to the coronavirus pandemic.

From the World Championships conquered one year after its début, to the Rok Cup universe: the OTK Group engines division left an indelible mark in karting during its first 25 years, conquering over 100 international titles and, especially, the satisfaction of thousands of karting fans.

In the past weeks, we have been monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation very closely and have been taking all measures to ensure we are ready if possible to start the championship as planned.
