On 10-12th June 2011 the second race of the CIK-FIA European Superkart Championship was held at the race circuit in Most in Czech Republic. All the free practice sessions as well as the qualification and final heats were driven on dry track. Our MS KART factory team was represented by two pilots: Adam Kout from Czech Republic and Marko Laine from Finnland. On MS KART chassis there also started 4 other pilots: Peter Elkmann from Germany, Priscilla Speelman and Mark Verhaar from the Netherlands and Thomas Urhofer from Austria.

In the qualification Peter Elkmann finished 5th, Adam Kout 14th and Marko Laine 21st. Thomas Urhofer was No. 22., Mark Verhaar No. 23. and Priscilla Speelman No. 25.

The first race on Satturday morning was not lucky for Peter Elkmann who had problems with carburation and finally had to retire from the race in lap 9. Our team driver Adam Kout did very well and managed to go up to place 7. Suddently, he lost some power because one of the cylinders on his VM engine stopped to work for a while and Adam went back to place 8. At the end of the race he tried to overtake Malcom Crowe driving on place 7 ahead of him but the time was too tight so Adam finished on position 8.
