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. 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 and kart shall be 165 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.

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 heats - Heat 1 starting grid will be based on current my-kart race seedings. Heat 2 starting grid will be based on the reverse order of Heat 1's starting grid. Points will be awarded and accumulated from Heats 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.

(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 about 10 minutes each. This equates to approx 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 Heat 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.

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 heats 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 DRIVER WEIGHTS AND THE 2008 WEIGHT CATEGORY

See 1.2

8.0 FEE & PRICING
