• Go-karts are assigned by draw.

• All our karts are tested before the races and checked by the karting's qualified personnel, you can only change your kart in case of breakage, NEVER FOR ANY OTHER REASON, and only once our mechanic checks the kart to confirm the failure.

• In the event of a change, the driver will be assigned a spare kart, being assigned no longer by draw but by the race direction.

• The seatbelt is mandatory for the race, as well as the neck protection.

• Complaints must be made up to 5 minutes after the incident and it will be up to race direction to determine its punishability.

• The track rules (briefing) are mandatory for all drivers. Therefore, all participants are required to attend the security briefing. In case of not doing so they will not be authorized to participate in the race.

* In case of not complying with these instructions the driver will be excluded from the race.

- Any physical or verbal aggression against a track marshall or race director, will be sanctioned with the immediate exclusion of the driver from the race. The same will apply to any unsportsmanlike conduct towards the rest of the drivers.

- The track marshalls will be responsible for organizing and controlling the race. They will be positioned throughout the circuit and will solve any conflict in it. It is strictly prohibited to access the track during the race without their previous authorization. Any decision that could lead to possible penalties will be analyzed previously by the race directors.

- Any unsportsmanlike action, such as crashes or manoeuvres that the marshalls deem inappropriate, will be penalized.

- The penalties for such actions will be: - Minor infraction: 5 seconds of slow down by remote control, carried out by the race marshalls. - Serious penalty: 15 seconds of slow down by remote control, carried out by the race marshalls. - Very serious penalty: suspension from the race.  

Minor infractions will be considered not respecting the flags indicated previously in the briefing, as well as the rest of the rules explained in it. Serious penalty will be considered all those that lead to the loss of position by a driver due to the unsportsmanlike action of another driver.

All these penalties will be controlled by the track marshalls through the use of a race control system.
