Commission Internationale de Karting

The Commission Internationale de Karting (CIK or CIK-FIA) is the primary international sanctioning body for kart racing.[1] It was founded in 1962,[2] and is headquartered in Paris, France. In 2000, it joined with the FIA.[3] Its most important event is the Karting World Championship.

CIK's current president, former Formula One driver Felipe Massa, took office in December 2017.[4] His predecessors were Luigi Macaluso (October 2005 – October 2009)[5], Nicolas Deschaux (October 2009 – October 2010).[6] and Shaikh Abdulla bin Isa Al Khalifa.[7]
