wheeled vehicles called karts, go-karts depending upon the design. They are usually

raced on scaled-down circuits. Karting is commonly perceived as the stepping stone

to the higher ranks of motorsports. Every year number of events is organized through

out India. ZCOER is presenting a New Concept of Competition “DRAG 1.0”. Drag

racing is a type of motor racing in which karts compete, usually two at a time, to

cross a set finish line. The race follows a short, straight course from a standing start

over a measured distance. Electronic timing has been used to record race results.

Apart from this some interesting events are also organized the details are mentioned

events. The vehicle must stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the vehicle

and the wheels on which the brake mechanism is acting must get locked immediately

after pedal is pressed as well as break light blink. Each vehicle will be given only three

attempts to pass the brake test. After the successful brake test attempt, vehicle will not be

allowed to avail remaining attempts

Vehicle dynamic stability will also be checked during the test, vehicle possessing

abnormal behavior will be checked again. The TI can be cancelled if the vehicle is found

dynamically unstable or unsafe in the Brake Test. Few frequently occurred problems are

listed below-

Un-usual sound from transmission (generally sound produced by chain).

Unsafe frame (Design and manufacturing)

If these issues found with the vehicle after static inspection, vehicle Technical Inspection

will be cancelled and again will be given chance to rectify it.

D 5.1.1 Brake Test Track

The brake test will be conducted on 8m straight course of track. Vehicle’s speed must not

be less than 40km/hr while attempting brake test. Brake Test is not having any points, but

it’s mandatory for a vehicle to clear the test to qualify for any of the dynamic event.

D 5.2. Drag / Acceleration Test

The acceleration will be evaluated during the brake test. Acceleration of the vehicle in

attempt in which the vehicle is passing brake test will be considered as final. Best will be

decided according to time taken by kart.

30

D 5.3 Skid Pad

The objective of the skid-pad event is to measure the vehicle’s cornering ability on a flat

surface while making a constant-radius turn. The skid pad layout may be a figure of 8 or

‘S’ depending on the track condition but minimum track width will be 3m and shortest

turning radius 2.5m.Each team may make one attempt.

Penalties-

Cones Down or Out- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the time for every

cone that is hit or knocked down (including gate cones).

DNF- Vehicles that spin-out can continue as long as they have not gone off

course will be classified as DNF.

Incorrect Laps- Vehicles run an incorrect number of laps or run the Laps in the

wrong sequence will be classified as DNF.

D 5.4. Autocross

31

The objective of the autocross event is to evaluate the vehicle's maneuverability and

handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing vehicles. The

autocross course will combine the performance features of acceleration, braking, and

cornering into one event.

D 5.4.1 Procedure

The vehicle will be staged such that the front wheels are 6 m (19.7 feet) behind the

starting line. The timer starts only after the vehicle crosses the start line. There will be no

particular order of the vehicles to run each heat. The organizer will determine the

allowable windows for each heat and retains the right to adjust for weather or technical

delays. Vehicles that have not run by the end of the heat will be disqualified for that heat.

Timing may be done using either electronic systems or stop watches.

D 5.4.2 Penalties

Cones Down or out - Two (2) seconds per cone, including any after the finish line.

Out of Course - Driver must re-enter the track at or prior to the missed gate or a

twenty (20) second penalty will be assessed.

Missed Slalom- Missing one or more gates of a given slalom will be counted as

one "off-course" per occurrence. Each occurrence will incur a twenty (20) second

penalty.

Note- The track layout will be flexible.

D 5.5 Endurance and Fuel Economy -

The Endurance Event is designed to evaluate the overall performance of the vehicle and

to test the vehicle’s reliability. The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per

kilometer fuel economy obtained during the endurance heat.
