The CIK-FIA European Junior Champs’ regulations allow drivers outside the division to participate in one of the partial races. 12-years-old Luka Nurmi and his team have decided this will happen in the very first partial race in Sarno, Italy.
”We think this decision backs up the main goals of this season – success in the CIK-FIA Academy and Finnish Championships – in the best possible way. The Sarno racetrack is familiar from last fall’s Rotax Max Challenge World Finals so a separate training session is not necessary.” – Tino Nurmi
Luka will participate in the CIK-FIA European Junior Champs together with Koski Motorsport. The team is the same one he’s going to work with also for the Finnish Championships. Collaboration with the team led by Jan Koski went well already in Castelletto WSK Series this February.
Nurmi was chosen to represent Finland in the CIK-FIA Academy this season. The division is for the most promising divers of the age group that pursue future success in motorsports. Each country got to choose one candidate for the division.
The partial races of CIK-FIA Academy are held with the European Champs partial races in Genk (Belgium), Le Mans (France) replica horloges and the finals in Alahärmä (Finland).
