Important Announcement RE King of France

ULTRA4 EUROPE are due to run King of France – 8-10 Sep 23 at a new site in South West France – Quercy TT near Castelnau Montratier,

Regrettably, however, the event has been cancelled due to the number of entries (17 as of 23 Aug) being well below the minimum threshold required to make it financially viable.

This decision had to be made now in order to give racers and support staff appropriate notice, and because multiple non-refundable cost commitments are due shortly.

We fully appreciate that teams have spent months planning and preparing for KOF, and we sincerely regret having to cancel at this late stage; we have not taken this decision lightly.

All entrants for King of France will receive a full refund in coming days.

ULTRA4 EUROPE remains fully committed to running exciting and competitive off-road events, and we welcome your input and ideas for 2024.

As a reminder, King of Portugal will be held 4-7 Oct 23 at Vimioso. We encourage Teams to support this iconic event and register at: www.clubenortex4.com/en/
