By a unanimous vote among the members of the Commission Internationale de Karting-FIA, it has been decided to entrust the organisation of the third and final round of the 2011 CIK-FIA "U18" World Championship and Academy Trophy to the Circuito Internazionale de Sarno-Napoli in Italy, replacing the event that was originally scheduled to be run in Bahrain. The date of the event remains as on the initial calendar, i.e. 4-6 November 2011.

The experienced organiser of Sarno will therefore be hosting two major international CIK-FIA events in the space of a few weeks, as the fourth round of the KF1 World Championship and the KF2 and KF3 World Cups will be taking place at the foot of Vesuvius on 15-18 September.
