The month of August will witness the final two rounds of the season of the Italian ACI Karting Championship. The fourth round will take place at the circuit Val Vibrata in Sant'Egidio alla Vibrata (Teramo), while the 30th of August the fifth round will take place at the circuit of Siena in Castelnuovo Berardenga Scalo (Siena).

The peculiarity of these two final races is that a coefficient of 1.5 will be applied to the championship points, that is the scoring system of the final two races will award 60 points instead of 40 in race-1 and 39 instead of 26 in race-2. The final two rounds of Val Vibrata and Siena will therefore be crucial for the championship standings with further uncertainty in the final result. Moreover, the final classification will be computed allowing three jokers.

The fourth round in Val Vibrata will kick off on Thursday 6 August with Free Practice for all categories KZ2, KF, KF Junior and 60 Mini. The programme follows:

Thursday 6 August: Free practice.
Friday 7 August: Free practice from local 8.35 and qualifying from 14.40.
Saturday 8 August: Qualifying practice from 10,20 and qualifying heats from 12.20.
Sunday 9 August: Second chance race from 9.45, race-1 from 10.30, race-2 from 14.00.
