POINTS

  • Total number of competitors = total points for the final winner. (15 racers means 1st place gets 15 points)
  • 1 points less for each following place. (Same example, 2nd place gets 14 points, 3rd 13, etc.)
  • 1 bonus points awarded for having the fastest qualifying time.
  • Finishing results are final on day of race and will not be changed.
  • In case of an incident during a position race, it will be the manager on duty decision to change positions accordingly after speaking to drivers involved.
  • If a driver initiates a retaliation of a race incident during or after a final position race, that driver will be dropped automatically to the final position spot in his group and loss of points.
  • If at the end of the season, there is a points tie, the driver with the best podium record will win.

RACING FORMAT

  • There will be two qualifying rounds consisting of 8 minutes. Your single fastest lap time from either qualifying session will be used to determine your position at the start of the final race.
  • The final race will consist of a 10-lap race for position and will begin as a rolling start.
  • There will only be ONE rolling start! No restarts are allowed.
  • If a racer causes an intentional or avoidable incident (crash, spin-out, etc.) that results in loss-of-position for the other driver, then the racer-at-fault is sent to the back of the grid. The innocent driver will resume the race from wherever they rejoined the field. (e.g.: if they were second and drop back to fifth as a result of the incident, they’ll continue in fifth position, not second).
  • New drivers will be evenly distributed within qualifying groups.

MECHANICAL ISSUES

  • There will be no switching of karts at anytime during qualifying unless there is a mechanical failure or accident, which caused damage to a kart.
  • There will be no switching of karts during a final race unless there is a severe mechanical failure.

Racers are responsible for any damages to kart.
