A kart is a land single seater vehicle without a roof or a cockpit, without suspensions and with or without bodywork elements, with 4 non-aligned wheels that are in contact with the ground, the 2 front ones of which control the direction and the other 2 rear ones, connected by a one-piece axle, transmit the power. The main parts are the chassis (including the bodywork), the tyres and the engine.
1.2.1.2 – Data acquisition
All systems, with or without a memory, installed on a kart, allowing the Driver during or after the race to read, indicate, obtain, register, inform or transmit any information.
1.2.1.3 – Telemetry
Transmission of data between a moving kart and an outside entity.
1.2.1.4 – Mechanical components
Any components necessary for propulsion, steering and braking, as well as any accessory, whether mobile or not, necessary for their normal functioning.
1.2.1.5 – Original or series component
Any component which has undergone all the scheduled manufacturing stages carried out by the Manufacturer of the equipment considered and originally mounted on the kart.
1.2.1.6 – Composite
Material composed of several distinct constituents the association of which gives the material properties that no constituent taken separately has.
1.2.1.7 – Maximum
Greatest value reached by a variable quantity; highest limit.
1.2.1.8 – Minimum
Smallest value reached by a variable quantity; lowest limit.
1.2.2 – Chassis
Global structure of the kart which assembles the mechanical components and the bodywork, including any part that is interdependent of the said structure.
1.2.2.1 – Frame
Main supporting part of the chassis, in one piece and receiving the main and auxiliary parts.
1.2.3 – Engine
1.2.3.1 – Cylinder cubic capacity
V volume engendered in the engine cylinder(s) by the upward or downward movement of the piston(s). This volume is expressed in cubic centimeters and, for all calculations concerning engine capacity, the number ‘‘pi’’ will be taken inclusively as 3.1416.
V = 0.7854 x d² x l x n
with: d = bore; l = stroke; n = number of cylinders.
1.2.3.2 – Ducts or passages
Ducts or passages are cylindrical or cylindrical-conical elements allowing the passage of gases whatever the length or position of these elements. Number of ducts or passages: the number of real ducts or passages is the greatest quantity of cylindrical or cylindrical-conical elements which transmit gases from the pump casing to the top of the piston, as well as those which transmit gases from the outside of the cylinder to the inlet ports, or from the exhaust ports to the outside of the cylinder.
1.2.3.3 – Inlet or exhaust port
A port is composed of the intersection of the periphery of the cylinder and the inlet or exhaust duct. This port is opened or shut by the passage of the piston.
1.2.3.4 – Power valve
By «power valve» is meant any system which can alter by manual, electric, hydraulic or any other means the normal exhaust port timing or the normal flow of exhaust gases at any point between the piston and the final exhaust exit when the engine is running.
1.2.3.5 – Decompression valve
By «decompression valve» is meant a passive mechanical system with the sole aim of limiting engine compression in the engine starting phases. Once the starting phase is finished, the valve must close. It must remain stationary and inactive when the kart is on the track with the engine on. This system may not, under any circumstances or at any time, decrease the volume of the engine’s combustion chamber below the minimum authorized value.
