THE REGULATIONS

The technical and agonistic regulation was created to guarantee, in the agonistic field, low management costs and all characteristics necessary to extol the value of the driver together with the presence of technical material. From an agonistic point of view the racing format is very simple: it foresees two qualifying rounds and one single Final. Where the number of drivers is superior to the capacity of the track, the competitors excluded from the Final will, however, compete in another race (Final "b" and where necessary Final "C", "D", depending on the number of competitors).
The choice of studying future races is important as it has an elevated value when it comes to training by teaching the drivers the management of the race and the requirement of an adequate physical preparation. Area championships have been foreseen as a way to reduce transfer costs, whilst national titles are a one off race.
From a technical point of view, however, it is forbidden to substitute even one part of the frame which could influence the performance, for example axles and hubs. Any "preparation" of the engine is forbidden as is the substitution of the same - this must remain as the one corresponding originally to the frame: this choice has avoided the practice of economic pressure in renting special engines. In short, the only regulations permitted are those exclusively linked to the frame, this enables the drivers the correct preparation in training terminology.
To guarantee that the rigid norm pertaining to the regulation is applied, the promoter supports technical functionaries from the single ASN National, either with specific technical instruments when controlling the races or by frequent seminars on technique.
The Easykart regulation is based on the unconditional mono-gear concept, so that in the agonistic contest it is really the driver who makes the difference. For this reason, besides forbidding any intervention on the kart, the regulation imposes restrictions on tyres (marked easykart and of medium hardness so as to last for more than one race, the spark plugs, oil for the mixture and the percentage of the mixture (5%) with petrol from the circuit's official distributor. This prerogative allows for efficient and easy controls on the composition of the petrol, besides avoiding mixtures with lower percentages of oil which could be detrimental to performance.
The only interventions allowed to be made on the kart are those regarding rulings to low/high, soft/hard settings,, useful in improving drivers' training in readiness of their climb to the superior classes. In terms of accessories, however, only those regarding aesthetic appearance are allowed and which do not inhibit performance, for example steering wheels, pedals and floor tray.
