2012 STATE RULES RELATING TO OPEN CLASS

Downloaddownload



WA Open .01. Preamble:

The WA Open class was conceived to be a high performance class with very basic rules and is based on the Open Performance Class (Chapter 42) of the AKA rulebook. Karting WA created the class allowing a range of engine categories, each category having a weight which has been selected with the goal of creating a similar overall kart performance for each engine category over a range of circuits.

It is permissible to change engine category (and hence adjust to appropriate weight) during a race day, but stewards must be advised so weigh marshals are aware of the appropriate weight.

In keeping with the very basics, it was our intention that we have a class that required the minimum of regulations and engine measuring, essentially being that if the kart:

  •  conforms to Chapter 25. Australia Kart Formula
  •  is within the weights (see below)
  •  and the engine is within the capacity limits as specified for it(s) engine category (see below)
