Introduction

The Races take on the traditional format of – Practice, Three Race Heats and a Final. Minimum racing weight limits are enforced. The Heavyweight Championship is run over 11 rounds, with 8 championship points scoring Finals to count. Each event consists of a maximum entry of 72 drivers per round.

9 rounds are split into half days. For example, Heavyweights race in the morning and Lightweights racing in the afternoon. 2 rounds will be run over a full day with both HW/SHW and LW drivers together.

Note: Novice drivers looking to move up to Club100 must attend a Test Session prior to racing.

Format

The Championship minimum entry weight limit is 83Kg. This can include race suit, crash helmet, gloves and boots.

Any drivers weighing in below 83Kg will enter the Lightweight Class.

The Championship minimum racing weight is 90Kg. There is a Super Heavy Weight (SHW) class that runs within the HW / SHW Sprint Championship. The minimum weight for the SHW class is 98KG and drivers must weigh at least 95KG to be eligible to to race in the SHW class.

It is the driver’s responsibility to check their weight at each race using the CLUB100 scales. The recommended way of achieving the limit is weight fitted to a seat insert or attached to the two weight posts situated by the seat on the Karts. To determine a driver’s weight limit, each driver should include their full kit i.e. Crash Helmets, Overalls, Boots and seat Inserts. Random checks will be made throughout each day during the season and any driver found to be lighter than the required weight limit will be excluded from that race.

Another unique aspect of CLUB100 is our Buddy System. Drivers competing in their first ever Sprint event will have access to a ‘buddy’ driver who will be on hand to assist throughout the day. The CLUB100 ‘buddy’ drivers are more experienced drivers who know the rules in depth and are happy to help new drivers on their first race day. The other advantage of the buddy system is that drivers get to know each other, helping to perpetuate the overall club spirit that is one of the important aspects of CLUB100 both on and off the track.

‘Buddy’ drivers are allocated at the drivers briefing.

Practice is 4 minutes and is generally used by drivers to familiarise with the circuit and give the kart a shake down. At the end of practice the chequered flag is shown signifying the end of practice and the start of formation laps for Heat 1.

Each driver competes in 3 Race Heats for a duration of 7 minutes per race. The grids are pre – determined and posted at the start of the day. Drivers will be offered a balanced front, middle and rear grid slot.

Once the heats are completed, drivers are placed into either the A, B or C Final.

Following the Heats, all drivers will compete in a 12 minute Final. Championship points are awarded for all finals.

The top 4 finishers in the C Final will repe-chage on to the back of the grid for the B Final. The top 2 finishers in the B Final will repe-chage on to the back of the grid for the A Final

In the A Final, drivers are given 3 practice/kart check laps to test their karts prior to the race and may change their kart at any time during these 3 laps.

Drivers may want to take advantage of our 30 minute test session, which runs prior to the drivers briefing and racing.
