DMAX karts

The EKS races at every Daytona circuit, utilising their DMAX karts. These are the fastest hire-karts in the country and are capable of speeds in excess of 55mph.

4-stroke karts

The EKS also races at top UK kart circuits who run 390cc 4-stroke karts. These karts are the fastest 4-stroke karts in the country, with top speeds in excess of 50mph.

Top-level circuits

The Daytona circuits are some of the UK’s finest kart tracks, each with a rich history dating back to the 1990s, with their flagship Milton Keynes circuit ranking as the third longest kart circuit in the country.

Buckmore Park is one of the most famous kart circuits in the world, finding fame in recent years courtesy of the likes of the Sidemen and Quadrant. It is one of the oldest too, having been built back in 1963.

PF International is one of the best kart circuits in the world and has an International A grade licence. It is one of the longest tracks in the UK and it will host the 2024 CIK-FIA Karting World Championship.

Three Sisters is the fastest kart circuit in the country with an average lap speed of more than 45mph in their hire-karts. As well as hosting karting, Three Sisters hosts motorcycle racing, drifting and car track days.

Split System

Splits

At all events drivers are split up into ability-based groups known as splits. This means drivers get to race against those of a similar ability level to themselves throughout the event, giving all drivers a chance of fighting for victories.

Promotion

During an event, victorious drivers in lower splits will be given the opportunity to be promoted to the split above midway through the event, allowing drivers to be fully challenged and preventing drivers from dominating lower splits.

Post-race production

Every race is recorded using a drone (weather dependant), onboard cameras and trackside cameras.

After each event, a full-race replay of every race is created using these camera angles, with commentary, graphics and post-race interviews making for a complete post-race production on our social media channels.

Driver interviews

After races, a selection of drivers are interviewed near the pitlane exit gate. These interviews form part of the post-race production for each race.

Dedicated classes

Junior class

The Junior class is strictly for drivers aged 14-19 years old and has a minimum weight of 70kg. Each drivers 5 highest round scores count towards their championship points total.

Senior class

The Senior class has a minimum weight of 80kg and is aimed at drivers aged 20 and upwards, however 14-19 year old drivers who weigh more than 70kg are also eligible to race in the class. Each drivers 7 highest round scores count towards their championship points total.

The Senior class also contains its own Heavyweight sub-class for drivers who weigh significantly more than 80kg, with the sub-class having a minimum weight of 95kg.

Equal karts. Equal weight. Equal chance.

The EKS only visit circuits who maintain their karts to the highest of standards.

The Daytona circuits test their DMAX karts at least once a month, with the karts being tested by championship-winning drivers only, all of whom have a vast amount of experience racing DMAX karts.

PF International service their hire-karts once every 10 hours of use, and Buckmore Park are renowned for having some of the best maintained hire-karts in the country, hence why it is the permanent home of events such as the Kart Race of Champions.

The Daytona DMAX karts can be fitted with up to 16kg of Daytona-provided ballast free of charge, whilst the Tamworth DMAX-GT karts can be fitted with up to 22.5kg. Both Buckmore Park and PF International meanwhile allow drivers to wear body-worn ballast such as weighted vests, ankle weights and wrist weights. All circuits allow drivers to use weighted seat inserts.

Combined together, this means any driver who weighs less than 95kg will be able to race against drivers of equal weight to them.

Team Championship

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 will be added together with their teammates point score to give their team point score for that event.

These team scores from each event will then be added together to form the EKS Team Championship standings. Each teams’ 7 highest point scores will count towards the standings. Like with the Drivers Championships, end of season prizes will be on offer.
