WHAT
What is Easykart?
Easykart
is a project created to sustain both the junior and basic
kart. Ages range from 6 years to adult and foresees 5 distinct
categories with an agonistic programme based on a Sport
and Technical Regulation which is both simple and efficient.
This regulation is the heart and strongest point of the
project: from the technical point of view it does not allow
for any modification to the kart other than that foreseen
by the series.
The
rigidity of these aspects, allows the drivers to emerge
on their own merit rather than for the characteristics of
the kart and the budget at their disposal. Still from a
technical point of view the karts are sold complete with
all accessories "ready to use" and adopt standard accessories
so as to be offered at a promotional cost (about 50% less
than a traditional kart). Moreover, all models (with the
exception of the 50cc) come with electric starting which
favours the utilisation of consumption reduction.
From an agonistic point of view, however, the format of
the single races was inspired by the "Moto GP" and "F1"
recognised by the masses and, therefore, easy to understand.
The championships are organised according to geographic
Areas so as not to overly burden the drivers with costly
transfers, whilst the national titles are assigned by a
Final, in a single trial, to which one is qualified through
merit Ranking (taking into account all the points accrued
during official races). The International Final, however,
is always a single trial between the best drivers of each
single Nation which holds the Easykart programme. The five
Easykart categories are: the 50cc (from 6 to 10 years),
the 60cc (from 7 to 14 years), the 100cc (from 11 to 18
years) and the 125cc classes, either single gear or speed
gear stick for drivers of 15 years.
The class 50 Training does not race, but provides a non-agonistic
preparatory programme managed by an instructor during competition
week-ends: the very young drivers take part in a theoretic
briefing and two race simulations with departure, by extraction,
and at the end of the day they are all presented with a
prize. The first category which forms part of the agonistic
programme is the 60cc which, the drivers coming from the
Training programme, can already, at 7 years, form part of.
The races are packed, thanks to reduced managements costs
and to the absolute stability of the kart. The same prerogatives
have been maintained in all levels of the superior category:
the 100c class, from where almost 100% of the drivers are
from the 60cc, a very comforting sign with respect to the
efficiency of the programme. In the 100cc class 11 year
olds are already allowed to race, a factor which allows
for an improved preparation of drivers with international
categories in view, this is from 13 years upwards. It is
in this phase of their career that the Easykart drivers
mature their ambitions to pursue their career: the worthier
ones are supported on their access to international karting
categories, an obligatory transition to accede to agonistic
motor racing.
The drivers with less available money or less ambition,
instead, can continue their karting experience through Easykart
project which, starting at 15 years, foresees the 125cc
categories, either with single gear or speed gear stick
(shifter). These classes are always crowded and lively,
resulting in the possibility of racing in a championship
at a high level, and at contained costs. From an agonistic
point of view two fundamental aspects are under-lined: firstly,
the promoter of the Trophy has pledged himself to the sporting
Authority for a period of five years, and secondly, to guarantee
maximum conformity with regard to technique large investments
have been made to support race track officials during races.
1.
The electrical starting on board (TAG) is a feature shared
by all models belonging to the Easykart range. 2.
All Easykart engines are water-cooled, equipped with centrifugal
clutch and conceived to guarantee an exceptional performance-reliability
ratio. 3. The Easykart range available on
the market is complete with EASYKART tyres, which can guarantee
a very good life in connection with the performances required
in sporting competitions.
