First race meeting of 2019 is confirmed

We’re back!!!

First race meeting of 2019 is confirmed!

The only major change from last year are regarding tyres, with Maxxis Sport tyres being our tyre of choice for Kartsport SA classes in 2019 (kids, juniors, clubman, Statesman etc). TaG Restricted and TaG classes are still able to run DFM and MG Yellows respectively (*transition period only) and 4SS can also run the Vega alongside the Maxxis. As these classes are som…e of the most supported classes in karting in SA at the moment the decision was made to allow these tyres so drivers can easily run between the two active karting associations in SA.

Maxxis tyres are a more affordable and longer lasting tyre with minimal drop off from new and don’t ‘go off’ as quickly when not run for some time. They offer what karters asked us for, value for money. We could have gone for a cheap tyre or a hard compound tyre but they offered little in the way of grip. We found Maxxis to be the best middle ground. No point having power if you don’t stick to the track right? Tyres will be available from select kart shops soon.

Please keep in mind our rules are flexible and your feedback is important to us. For example if karters running with Kartsport SA aren’t enjoy running mixed tyres in the TaG classes, we can change it. Nothing is locked in and we are more than happy to listen to your feedback and make the changes you want.

We have a full calendar coming soon but for now race one is locked in and ready to go. We look forward to seeing you all back trackside in 2019 and we are aiming for a big year of racing!!!
