Types of Ballast
On-kart Ballast
The Daytona Milton Keynes and Daytona Sandown Park Birel DMAX karts have weight posts next to the drivers seat, as pictured, where up to 16kg of Daytona-provided ballast can be fitted for free.
The Daytona Tamworth DMAX-GT karts have weight boxes built into their left sidepod where up to 22.5kg of free Daytona ballast can be inserted.
Ballast cannot be fitted directly to or inserted into any of the 4-stroke karts which are used in the EKS.
Weighted Seat Inserts
Weighted seat inserts are permitted at every circuit which the EKS visits - if you would like to create your own weighted seat insert, please be aware that all of the karts which the EKS use have either Tillett XL or Tillett XXL seats fitted.
Body-Worn Ballast
All forms of body-worn ballast are prohibited at Daytona circuits for safety reasons.
All forms of body-worn ballast, such as weight vests, ankle weights and wrist weights, are allowed at the 4-stroke circuits which the EKS visits, however weight vests and wrist weights are not advised due to the discomfort and bruising which they can cause whilst driving.
