F-Series has been synonymous with the word challenge from the beginning and as we can see from the fierce competition, the race for the win is not getting any easier! This brings us to the year 2017 and what will make this coming year even more exciting than any previous season so far. Nothing like a new start that will surely bring the talent to the top.

Three months of aggressive testing, CIK-FIA homoligation results and endless discussions how to benefit our racers. Have brought us to a decision that will make the racing even more exciting while improving the financial expense it takes to race. Compounds tested were the medium (Option) tyre that will be utilized for MINI & Junior while the softer (Prime) will offer all the satisfaction the SR and Shifter pilots demand. LeCont has managed to create tyre compounds that provide the grip needed but also an astonishing durability that will be a very welcoming quality in the pit lane.

With the homoligation process being very important to us through this decision. The information that was available to us from the official test results gave us knowledge to make a confident decision. The following release from the FIA Karting confirms the test results were very positive!

The FIA Karting Official Press release from 30/11/16 states the following: The World Motor Sport Council confirmed the LeCont as the exclusive tyre supplier for Category I; 2017 CIK-FIA World and European Championships, plus the 2017 CIK-FIA Endurance Championship.

LeCont tyre does bring some great additional energy to the F-Series, being the first major karting program in the United States to utilize the brand and joining fantastic programs such as CIK-FIA WSK Championship, French and Swedish National programs utilizing this proven tyre. A great benefit to the transition is continuing our long time partnership with WR Motorsports.
