European Championship at its Grand Finale in Genk
The frontrunners of the CIK-FIA European Championship, after the end of the Heats, are heading fast towards the finishing line of the last round in Genk, at the Horensbergdam Circuit in Belgium. The facility is hosting, this weekend, the last event of the CIK-FIA European Championship of the OK, OK Junior, KZ and KZ2 categories.
