International Karting Rule Changes


  2 July 2014
 

Decisions relating to karting from the World Motor Sport Council's June meeting in Munich, Germany. The decisions were made on the basis of proposals from the International Karting Commission.

Looks like they're cracking down on the use of exotic materials for brake discs, effectively banning aluminium, ceramic and composite materials, insisting the brake dics must be steel, stainless steel or cast iron.

 

Amendments to Technical Regulations:

Article 12 of the Technical Regulations, "KZ1 & KZ2 Specific Rules".
Exhaust silencer: Homologated, compulsory use.
The fitting of the exhaust and muffler shall conform to Technical Drawing No. 20.
Immediate application.

Article 2.11 of the Technical Regulations, "Brakes".
From 1st January 2015, the brake discs must be steel, stainless steel or cast iron. This measure also applies to the currently valid approvals.
Date of application: 01/01/2015
