The type of kart racing is somewhat of a time trial. A course is designed using street cones and the driver must navigate the course as fast as they can without knocking over the cones to complete the course. It’s one kart at a time on the course. Time is of the essence and crucial. Some races are determined by split second. Of course, with chip timing, we do all that calculation.
Chip position must be set at the same location on each kart.
