Too many accidents: why?

Making certain protections compulsory has paradoxically seen an increase in accidents and their seriousness. Will it not be more appropriate to change course?

Twists in tale

Many twists in tale in the BNL Karting Series round 2, placed in Mariembourg at Karting des Fagnes

Bianca leaves her mark in Junior

After two months the engines finally came back to roar in the Akoc with the second race held in Macau. The event was attended not only by local drivers but also from Japan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, China and Singapore. On this occasion a female driver returns to the top, after too long a wait: Bianca Bustamante excels in Macau. She dominates in Junior, but loses out in the final by a whisker after a long duel with Xie Wing Lam Gerrard. And the Senior final was also a thriller.

Tough as a diamond

We interviewed Bianca Bustamante, the girl who distinguished herself in the Asian Karting Open Championship and, above all, in the second event in Macau on June 30th. She confided to us how she managed to reach such a high level and run with the boys.

All very nice

On the weekend of 20-21 July the New York Race Complex located along the Canadian border and the St. Lawrence River in New York State hosted the Gearup F-Series Challenge with Round 3 on Saturday Round 4 on Sunday. The numerous fans who came to the event were all well rewarded by the great show offered on the track.

THE DATA OF SARNO

The data acquisition has allowed us to have some more information on how the kart (and the driver) behave along a lap of the Sarno track. Interesting to note that with the Rotax Max DD2 geared 36/61 (with this engine one replaces the torque of gears of the primary) you get to change approximately 12 times, maintaining the first gear for about 607 meters and the second for about 882 meters.

Negative acquisitions

What does an engine abandoning us show, in telemetry? How can a driver know from the instrument on the steering wheel that something is going wrong? Let’s see what happened in a case of engine seizure.

Do they really test?

Boasting non-existent cavalry has become something of a race in itself in the karting world. How does an engine test bench actually function? How to discover when there are indeed HPs and when not? Here is a brief compendium with which to better understand what they tell us and how to read a power curve by observing what really counts…

SUMMER tRAINING

Although of a shorter duration compared to the past, the summer break is a delicate moment for every driver. Let’s see how to deal with it in the barest minimum terms.

So small, so badass

Marco Ambiveri again makes us participants with this compelling and emotional story of his feeling with the 100 engine, exalting it still today as the most engaging engine any kart driver has had the luck to try. An unforgettable sensation.

Simplex History

The Simplex Manufacturing Corporation was located at 540 North Carrollton Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana, and was formed in the late 1920’s in the midst of the Great Depression by Mr Joseph Paul Treen. Paul Treen was a very ingenious man. Professionally he was a full member of the Society of Automotive Engineers.
