As from January 1st 2010 all
karts need to be fitted with a brake disc protector to prevent damage to the
brake disc when running over kerbs around the track.
You can of course go out and
buy these for about £25 but unless you have a newish chassis there is a very
good chance the bracket just wont fit..
BUT...we have made the
first BKC prototype in the workshop ..looks exactly like the real thing and
the bracket will be custom made for each individual kart ......cost about
£3.50 and a bit of time......... |

As from January 1st 2010 the regulations for your
karting crash helmet will more than likely change...if you have a
BS6685 Type A standard you will no longer be able to race with them..You can
still use the later
BS6658 Type AFR and the relevant
Snell and FIA approved helmets...Please
check for yourself in the latest handbook and regulations and TEAM LEADER before you buy any
of them. ( wrong helmet-means NO race. ) |

Also a new ruling on another new standard for under
15s......a lightweight lid ....The CIK has introduced a new safety standard
for Childrens Helmets ( Snell-FIA CMH 2007) which will become mandatory for
all under 15's competing in mainland Europe with effect from 1.1.2010.
The new standard is likely to be adopted as compulsory in the UK from
1.1.2011. |

Possibly from January 1st 2010 the older style bodywork and pod bars pre CIK
08 cannot be used..all karts may need Unico/Stilo/new age 2/Birel(freeline)/
CIK 08, Stealth/Evo CIK 11 , XTR CIK 14 , etc .... This will also include
the newer shaped pod bars ( both 90 degree rather than the older diagonal
angle )requiring new tubes to be welded on older chassis.
Also with the wider nose cone
you may need extended rims or hubs on the front wheels
