Superkart engines shall be homologated as from 1st January 2019. All engine manufacturers with a valid engine approval as from 1st January 2018 will be able to request the homologation of the engines concerned by presenting only two engines during the homologation inspection. For any new homologation, ten engines will have to be presented at the homologation inspection.
The Technical Regulations concerned have been updated and simplified. Date of implementation: 01/01/2019
Mini
At the request of the ACI and several manufacturers, the homologation of Mini chassis, engines and tyres will take place at the same time during 2019 for implementation on 1st January 2020 instead of being spread over three years as in the other categories.
The application forms concerned must be returned to the CIK administration no later than 1st August 2019 via the ASN of the applicant.
