Dedicated classes
Junior (age 14-19, min 70kg)
The Junior class is strictly for drivers aged 14-19 years old and has a minimum weight of 70kg.
Lightweight (age 14+*, min 80kg)
The Lightweight class has a minimum weight of 80kg and is aimed at drivers aged 20 and upwards.
Heavyweight (age 14+*, min 90kg)
The Heavyweight class has a minimum weight of 90kg and is aimed at drivers aged 20 and upwards.
Superheavyweight (age 14+*, min 100kg)
The Heavyweight class also contains a Superheavyweight sub-class which has a minimum weight of 100kg.
*14-19 year old drivers must naturally exceed 70kg to be allowed to race in the Senior classes.
Ballast
Ballast is available to borrow free of charge at all events to help drivers reach these minimum weights and ballast can be reserved when booking in via the booking form.
Split System
Splits
At events where a class is spread across multiple grids the drivers in that class are split up based on their ability-level. This means drivers get to race against those of a similar ability level to themselves, giving all drivers a chance of fighting for victories.
Promotion
During such events, victorious drivers in lower splits are given the opportunity to be promoted to the split above midway through the event, preventing misplaced drivers from dominating lower splits and allowing drivers to be fully challenged.
Team Championships
Any driver who races in the EKS can pair up with any other driver to form a team of 2. There are no restrictions on who can pair up with who.
Like with the F1 Constructors Championship, the drivers individual point score from an event is added together with their teammates point score to give their team point score for that event.
These team scores from each event are then added together to form the National, Northern, Southern and Silverstone Team Championship standings.
End of season prize
Drivers who have finished in the top 3 of a National Championship and who have shown exemplary behaviour throughout the season will be rewarded with a drive in the EKS prize kart, a TKM kart which is actively raced in the Retro Kart TKM Championship and Access Karting 100-UK Senior Championship.
This kart is owned by the EKS and it is a 1998 Venom Ultima TKM BT82 outputting in excess of 15bhp and weighing 68kg. Combined together with the fact the engine revs to 16,000rpm, this gives the kart a top speed of 65mph allowing it to lap Buckmore Park 6 seconds faster than a hire-kart.
Chassis: 1998 Venom Ultima
Engine: 2-stroke 100cc TKM BT82
Max. Power: 15bhp @15,500rpm
Top Speed: 65mph
Tyres: Mojo D5
Dry Weight: 68kg
Appeals system
After any race, drivers can complete an EKS Appeal Form and appeal for a penalty for another driver or appeal against a penalty they have received.
These appeals are free to file and can be filed anytime up until the podium ceremony. These appeals are than reviewed approximately a week after the event by series founder Luke Battersby and Buckmore Park race director Terry Battersby.
