Kart racing or karting is a variant of open-wheel motorsport with small, open, four-
wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts depending upon the design. They are usually
raced on scaled-down circuits. Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone
to the higher ranks of motorsports. Every year number of events is organized through
out India. ZCOER is presenting a New Concept of Competition “DRAG 1.0”. Drag
racing is a type of motor racing in which karts compete, usually two at a time, to
cross a set finish line. The race follows a short, straight course from a standing start
over a measured distance. Electronic timing has been used to record race results.
Apart from this some interesting events are also organized the details are mentioned

D 5 Dynamic and Endurance Events

D 5.1. Brake Test

It’s mandatory for a vehicle to pass the brake test to participate in any of the dynamic
events. The vehicle must stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the vehicle
and the wheels on which the brake mechanism is acting must get locked immediately
after pedal is pressed as well as break light blink. Each vehicle will be given only three
attempts to pass the brake test. After the successful brake test attempt, vehicle will not be
allowed to avail remaining attempts

Vehicle dynamic stability will also be checked during the test, vehicle possessing
abnormal behavior will be checked again. The TI can be cancelled if the vehicle is found
dynamically unstable or unsafe in the Brake Test. Few frequently occurred problems are
listed below-

 Un-usual sound from transmission (generally sound produced by chain).

 Unsafe frame (Design and manufacturing)

If these issues found with the vehicle after static inspection, vehicle Technical Inspection
will be cancelled and again will be given chance to rectify it.

D 5.1.1 Brake Test Track

The brake test will be conducted on 8m straight course of track. Vehicle’s speed must not
be less than 40km/hr while attempting brake test. Brake Test is not having any points, but
it’s mandatory for a vehicle to clear the test to qualify for any of the dynamic event.

D 5.2. Drag / Acceleration Test

The acceleration will be evaluated during the brake test. Acceleration of the vehicle in
attempt in which the vehicle is passing brake test will be considered as final. Best will be
decided according to time taken by kart.
 30

D 5.3 Skid Pad

The objective of the skid-pad event is to measure the vehicle’s cornering ability on a flat
surface while making a constant-radius turn. The skid pad layout may be a figure of 8 or
‘S’ depending on the track condition but minimum track width will be 3m and shortest
turning radius 2.5m.Each team may make one attempt.

Penalties-

 Cones Down or Out- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the time for every
cone that is hit or knocked down (including gate cones).

 DNF- Vehicles that spin-out can continue as long as they have not gone off
course will be classified as DNF.

 Incorrect Laps- Vehicles run an incorrect number of laps or run the Laps in the
wrong sequence will be classified as DNF.

D 5.4. Autocross
 31

The objective of the autocross event is to evaluate the vehicle's maneuverability and
handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing vehicles. The
autocross course will combine the performance features of acceleration, braking, and
cornering into one event.

D 5.4.1 Procedure

The vehicle will be staged such that the front wheels are 6 m (19.7 feet) behind the
starting line. The timer starts only after the vehicle crosses the start line. There will be no
particular order of the vehicles to run each heat. The organizer will determine the
allowable windows for each heat and retains the right to adjust for weather or technical
delays. Vehicles that have not run by the end of the heat will be disqualified for that heat.
Timing may be done using either electronic systems or stop watches.

D 5.4.2 Penalties

 Cones Down or out - Two (2) seconds per cone, including any after the finish line.

 Out of Course - Driver must re-enter the track at or prior to the missed gate or a
twenty (20) second penalty will be assessed.

 Missed Slalom- Missing one or more gates of a given slalom will be counted as
one "off-course" per occurrence. Each occurrence will incur a twenty (20) second
penalty.

Note- The track layout will be flexible.

D 5.5 Endurance and Fuel Economy -

The Endurance Event is designed to evaluate the overall performance of the vehicle and
to test the vehicle’s reliability. The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per
kilometer fuel economy obtained during the endurance heat.
