– Reduced entry fee by about 20%.
– Removal of the deposit at registration (except for the Academy Trophy).
– Reduction of the duration of meetings: Installing the paddock on Wednesday, free practice from Thursday, timed qualifying on Friday afternoon.
– Reducing the number of tyres allowed from free practice to the final, four new sets for the KF, KZ and KZ2 categories, three new sets for KF Junior and two new sets for the Academy Trophy. All drivers may use a set of tyres to start free practice.
– Introduction of a Wild Card for drivers who wish to participate in a single event of a championship that has several events.
– Deadline extended to five weeks before the first race and at a higher entry fee rate when registering no later than one week after the deadline.
– Removal of one of the two prefinals if the number of
entries is less than 75.
– Removal of the parc ferme tyres, tyres will be equipped with a barcode and controlled with the MiniRae Lite device.
