The K2 and K3 series was introduced in 2004 due to the increased demands and capability of drivers. Prior to this, the 2003 DRIVERS (formerly known as KART) series was run only on funkarts and 80cc 2-stroke karts.
With the introduction of the K2 and K3 series in 2004, the DRIVERS series is now consolidated as the amateur drivers' championship whereby keen amateur motor-sports enthusiasts compete with each other over a full racing season to claim the top honours & glory and hence own the bragging rights as the best amateur karter in the Klang Valley. A new K1 series (125cc karts) was introduced in 2008 with slightly different rules, but run under the DRIVERS series umbrella.
The DRIVERS series is an individual race series which emphasises consistency, race craft, adaptability, strategy in addition to the prerequisites of racing skill.
In addition to this the DRIVERS series emphasises the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
The rules of the DRIVERS series are contained within this section.
The my-KART events aim to popularise grassroots motorsports, particularly karting by making participation in regular karting events accessible and affordable for its members. my-KART realises that there are a significant number of casual and semi-serious karting enthusiasts who would like to have the opportunity to participate in affordable racing events. In doing so, my-KART emphasises safety and fun above all. my-KART also aims at developing the amateur karting community, and thus the group and events will be conducted in a friendly atmosphere.
Given that my-KART events are conducted using primarily rental karts, it is likely that kart performances will vary significantly. The event format that is described below intends to minimise the "luck of the draw" as best possible. my-KART events are also aimed at balancing the skill levels and the kart performance as far as possible.
The purpose of this document is to set out the event formats and rules which meet the above objectives.
Typically, the race is split into two segments for each driver and category:
(i) 2 qualifying heats - points collected to determine order for choosing karts in final. The qualifying heats are conducted as individual races, and points are scored based on the drivers finishing positions in the qualifying races. By doing so, we do not need to depend on timing systems which can often be unreliable, and this will allow more excitement for participants.
(ii) 1 final - points will score towards the league table. Each driver will participate in one final each, but their groupings will be dependent on how well they scored in the combined qualifying races.
Each heat and final will run for about 10 minutes each. This equates to approx 8 laps.
There will be 3 driver categories:
The objective is to have a suitable number of drivers in each grouping to allow for a minimum 7-9 driver turn out. The Formula K2 group will initially comprise of 25 drivers. The selection is based on 2 out of 3 of the following:
The selection for K2 requires careful consideration given the significantly higher speeds of the 100cc karts. Above all, my-KART emphasises safety and fun racing, hence it is vital that drivers in the K2 group are sufficiently capable of handling 100cc karts in racing conditions.
For the event groupings, the total number of drivers are sorted in seed order. The drivers will be divided into groups of similar numbers. The number of drivers per group depends on the number of reasonably good karts. Consecutive seeded drivers will be split into different groups. Eg, seed 1 in group A, seed 2 in group B and so on.
(i) For the 1st qualifying heats, karts are assigned to each grid position. For example, kart number 1 may be assigned to grid number 1 and so on. Drivers will be assigned the grid positions based on their seeding order; ie highest seeded drivers start first. In the event of unseeded drivers, the order will be in favour of first registered driver.
(ii) For the 2nd qualifying heats, drivers will start in the reverse grid order of the first qualifying. The karts assigned to each grid will remain in the same positions. For example, the driver that started on pole in the first qualifying heat will swap grid position and kart with the driver who started last in the previous heat, and so on.
(iii) change of karts: karts will only be changed if the organisers decide that it is either too slow / damaged / dangerous / too fast in comparison with the rest, or if certain drivers cannot fit into certain karts.
Points will be score for each qualifying heat based on finishing positions, and accumulated to determine who gets the first choice of karts for the final.

Each driver will drive in only one final, although there may be more than one final. The points scored in the qualifying heats will determine which final the driver falls into. If there are odd number of drivers, then the final for top drivers will be more then the lower finals.
The top scoring drivers in the qualifying heats will have first choice to the karts for the final. This will allow the driver who performed best in the qualifying heats the chance to choose the best available karts, and thus eliminate the "luck" factor in their final race. In a tie breaker, the driver with the best finishing position in the qualifying heats will choose first. If there is still a tie, the higher seeded driver will choose first.
The starting order for the finals will be in reverse qualifying order (ie, the highest scoring driver in qualifying will start last in the finals - but have the benefit of the better kart). This will further allow drivers who may have had bad karts in the qualifying heats to have another chance to improve on their position for the KART championship.

In the championship table, only the best 8 out of 10 scores will count towards the final drivers' championship. Drivers who score in 9 or 10 events will thus have to drop the lowests scores from the overall total.
Drivers within a category finals would be further sub-ranked within their weight categories. There will be two weight categories - which is 70kg minimum and 45kg minimum. Weights are based on drivers own declaration and includes racing gear - from time to time, the my-KART organisers may test the driver weights, and should the drivers weigh less than the minimum limit, then they shall lose all the points scored up to that point, and shall be placed in the more appropriate weight category.

I thought that it would be useful for Kelab my-kart to gauge your response to the idea of evolving the current K2 races using 100cc rental karts to using karts exclusive for my-kart K2 drivers, the same concept currently adopted for the K1 races. This idea has come about in the wake of persistent dissatisfaction on the state of rented 100cc karts. Please take note of the following when writing your responses:
1. Chassis : 10 nos. (Swiss Hutless / CRG / Mike Wilson)
2. Drivers : 20 ( 2 drivers per kart for the entire season)
2. Engine : New air cooled 100cc Yamaha SL.
3. Proposed Start date : Jan 2009
4. Exclusive for my-kart K2 races
5. Ballast will be use (driver+kart must weigh minimum 160kg)
6. Race Fee : RM 190.00 (subject to reconfirmation)
7. Damage deposit : RM 300.00
If you do have other options, please tell us.
This section captures discussions, guidelines and reference manuals for the DRIVERS series operations functions.
A number of volunteers are required to run the regular KART series events.
There needs to be at least 2 volunteers for each role as backup (so one can take over if the other cannot attend).
The following roles are needed before, during and after each of the events. Further information / checklist of activities can be found here.
The event operations role is one of the busiest roles during an event and the incumbent may need to appoint / select a few volunteers to do the following:
For scoring and administration, the event operations role may request the event administration role to assist, although the main call / decision maker will be the event operations role.
This section contains information about what needs to be done before and during a particular event. It describes the hows in a checklist (as attached).
The checklist is recommended as a guide to conducting a DRIVERS series event from the preparation 2 weeks prior to the event, to the preparation the night before the event and activity guides during the event.
It also helps inventorise the various tools & equipments needed to run a DRIVERS series event.
my-KART members are invited to review the checklist and comment for on going improvements.
This document will describe the various activities, roles and processes with regards to the lap charting and result reporting functions (record to result).
All race progress will be recorded either by way of -
1/ manual lap charting; AND/OR
2/ automatic transponder assisted recording
For the DRIVERS series, the preference is for manual lap charting due to the past experience on reliability of transponder assisted recording (eg. failed or dropped transponders). Hence, it is crucial for the manual lap charting is done properly.
Two volunteers are needed for each race/sortie. One of the volunteer is to read the kart numbers as they cross the "start/finish" line, and the other to record the kart numbers in the lap chart.
The volunteers shall be selected by the category (K1/K2/K3) captain or owner - or his/her assistant/deputy. The category captain must ensure that the lap chart volunteers are aware of their lap charting responsibilities & procedures.
A lap chart will be printed for the lap charters.
The lap chart shall contain the list of drivers and their kart numbers as they start the race. The drivers are printed on the list in starting order.
The lap chart contains columns for each lap of the race duration. eg, for a 8 lap race, there should be at least 8 columns for each race lap.
The lap charting volunteers shall record the kart numbers SEQUENTIALLY AS THEY CROSS THE START/FINISH LINE from top to bottom in the relevent lap column. Kart numbers shall only be recorded WHEN the kart crosses the start/finish line. Lapped karts, shall only be recorded WHEN they cross the start/finish line. Lap charting volunteers shall not be compelled to record lapped karts in the final lap column.
The lap charting volunteers shall discuss and agree the recorded results and append their names on the bottom of each lap chart.
this part is under construction
As most of you are well aware, my-kart introduced the K1 series for teh first time in Round 1 2008. As such, it was quite a learning curve for all the committee and volunteers to incorporate this race into a tight schedule for the day.
Based on feedback from the committee, volunteers and participants, we are currently in the process of streamlining the management and organisation of the K1, K2 and K3 events and looking to achieve a faster turn around time between races. This will mean we require a lot more dedicated volunteers.
It is the intention that participants from each group become responsible for assisting in organising their events.
I have had a private discussion with some K2 drivers and they have agreed to volunteer their services for the 2008 season. We would also like to see more involvement in particular from the K3 group, especially when it comes to arranging the karts for the grid formation. By volunteering to help the organisation you will benefit from gaining experience and exposure in race management and become part of the team and not just a driver! I hope you won’t be shy and will come forward….
For ease of operations, we propose to assign volunteers to a specific group i.e. Group A, Heat 1 and 2 etc. In the event that a volunteer cannot assist due to participation in that particular group then the volunteer would be responsible for finding a suitable replacement. Adopting this methodology will ensure continuity of support to each race.
The ‘volunteers’ who have confirmed their participation is as follows:
K1 Managers
1) Naza
2) Luen
K1 Group A Organisers

K1 Group B Organisers

K2 Managers

Many thanks in advance for your support.
Whenever myKART organises any league events, participants entry confirmations and responses needs to be recorded for administrative purposes. To this end, myKART uses an MS Excel spreadsheet to track member names and basic details, their responses and also the results.
The excel file is attached within this section.
A specific MS Excel spreadsheet is utilised to capture the individual event results. This spreadsheet allows driver listing according to registration and seeding, and employs VBA macros to sort them into smaller groups.
Extensive use of formula enables the event organiser to assign grid positions and kart numbers according to the standard myKART grid formation rules.
Additional formula will assign scores to each results and allow the results to be ranked in order. This spreadsheet also tabulates the whole event scoring and ranks which will need to be separately updated into the league table.
DRIVERS K1 Rules & Regulations
1.0 OBJECTIVES
The my-KART events aim to popularise grassroots motorsports, particularly karting by making participation in regular karting events accessible and affordable for its members. my-KART realises that there are a significant number of casual and semi-serious karting enthusiasts who would like to have the opportunity to participate in affordable racing events. In doing so, my-KART emphasises safety and fun above all. my-KART also aims at developing the amateur karting community, and thus the group and events will be conducted in a friendly atmosphere.
The K1 series aims to provide the opportunity for my-KART members to get one step closer to competitive kart racing. There will be 125 cc CRG/PRD karts dedicated to the club for this series. As such, participation in this series will be selective and limited to ensure only drivers with the right skill level, experience and behaviour are included at this level.
The purpose of this document is to set out the event formats and rules which meet the above objectives.
1.1 DRIVER AND KART ALLOCATION
The K1 series will be limited to a maximum of 20 drivers or to the number of available rental karts provided by the operator. There will be 2 drivers assigned to one kart for the duration of the season.
Driver allocation to karts will be based on the closest physical fit between the 2 drivers, based on weight and height.
1.2 WEIGHT/BALLAST
The minimum weight for driver shall be 70 kg at all times. Should the combined weight of driver and kart fall below this minimum threshold, ballasts shall be added to meet the minimum weight. It is the driver's sole responsibility to ensure that the minimum weight requirement is at all times met.
1.3 TRANSPONDER
Transponders are not required. The driver may if he so wish, rent the transponder from City Karting at his own cost and be solely responsible for any damages or losses to it due to any incident(s) whatsoever.
2.0 OVERVIEW OF RACE
Typically, the race is split into two segments for each driver and category:
(i) 2 qualifying races - Race 1 starting grid will be based on current my-kart race seedings. Race 2 starting grid will be based on the reverse order of Race 1's starting grid. Points will be awarded and accumulated from Race 1 and 2.
(ii) 1 final - points will score towards the league table. Each driver will participate in one final each, but their groupings will be dependent on the total points accumulated from the 2 qualifying heats. Starting grid for the final will depend on he points accumulated during the qualifying races.
(iii) In the case where two drivers sharing the same kart, end up in the same final group, then the driver with the higher total points will take the assigned kart. The driver with the lower total points, will need to select another available kart.
3.0 RACE LENGTH
Each heat and final will run for 8 laps.
4.0 DRIVER CATEGORIES AND EVENT GROUPINGS
There will be no driver categories within K1 (ie, no K1/45, K1/70).
5.0 QUALIFYING RACE FORMAT FOR EACH CATEGORY
(i) For the 1st qualifying races, karts and drivers will be assigned to each grid position based on current my-kart seedings.
(ii) For the 2nd qualifying races, karts and drivers will be assigned to each grid position based on the reverse order of Race 1's starting grid.
(iii) change of karts: There will not be any kart changes in the K1 series. Karts that are damaged or need repairs, will be pulled out of the event and fixed. There is no guarantee that the the damaged kart will be ready for the next race.
All positions in qualifying will be eligible for points even though the driver may not have finished the race through retirement or disqualification.
6.0 FINAL FORMAT FOR EACH CATEGORY
Each driver will drive in only one final, although there may be more than one final. The most number of points scored over the 2 qualifying races will determine which final the driver falls into.
If two drivers who share the same kart, fall into the same final grouping, then the driver with the higher number of points in qualifying will use the assigned kart. The second driver will need to select another available kart for the final race.
The starting order for the finals will be in order of the total points scored, with the highest score at pole position.
A driver who DNFs (must return to pits on own power) will not score points even if they are in the top final runners. The next drivers in the lower final groups will benefit from the extra position gained from the DNF driver's demise.
Points table:
Position.....Score
1.............20
2.............16
3.............14
4.............12
5.............11
6.............10
7..............9
8..............8
9..............7
10.............6
11.............5
12.............4
13.............3
14.............2
15.............1
dns............0
dnq............0
dnf............0
There are 15 points scoring positions for the league table. Only the top 15 drivers in the finals share score points.
In the championship table, only the best 8 out of 10 scores will count towards the final drivers' championship. Drivers who score in 9 or 10 events will thus have to drop the lowests scores from the overall total.
7.0 FEE & PRICING
The pricing for the K1 series will be set by the organisers and is subject to change due to market forces and with minimal notice. Currently the fees for the series are as follows
Security Deposit = RM600 per driver payable in full prior to each race, and must be maintained at RM600 throughout the season. Any costs arising from loss or damage to karts will be deducted from this deposit amount.
Event fee = RM210 per driver per event
