WEIGHTS & HANDICAP Changes:
The weights for both the Rotax 's & Biland's has been changed to 175kgs & the handicap removed. This will now mean that it's a straight fight out on track. We believe that this will enhance the racing with both classes having an equal chance of winning.

Weight v Lap Time:
We carried out a test using Dan Parker as our driver & the Rotax of Box Tech to see the time penalty that weight has racing round Whilton Mill. The Test was conducted on Tuesday 3rd April, Temp 8c, cloudy, strong wind & high humidity. We ran the kart at 170kg & 177kg and found that the time penalty of running heavier was approx 0.02 secs per kilo.

TaG (Touch & Go) karts have always been welcomed into the series, they are covered by our 'Open Class' & we look forward to seeing more of these types of engines joining the Championship.
