Survey Result: Anti-Contact Front Fairings


  24 June 2016

The front bumper poll has now closed.

Last week we asked "Should the CIK 'drop-down' style front bumper system be adopted in Australia?"

'No' was the clear winner, with over half of all voters opposed to any introduction of the controversial moveable front fairings. The combined 'Yes' answers accounted for 33%.

  • 17% Yes (all classes)
  • 16% Yes (National Champs only)
  • 5% Possibly
  • 55% No
  • 4% Unsure
  • 3% Other

. To paraphrase a few of the additonal responses entered for the 'other' option:

  • added expense (this was a recurring theme in multiple replies)
  • make the stewards more accountable
  • may be a good idea, but the design is not yet satisfactory
  • should be used at National events, State rounds and Rotax Pro Tour
  • Stewarding toward better etiquette would be more appropriate
  • karts should not even have plastic bumpers in the first place
  • (There were several other responses that, quite franky, would put us at risk of being sued if we published them!)
