Parakart Super Cup Race Rules
Races will be run according to FISLY rules, unless otherwise stated.
The race duration will be a minimum of two hours.
Races may be stopped or shortened if hostile weather conditions prevail.
All pilots must wear a helmet when in their buggies.
If the race is stopped for an accident, or any other reason, then it will be
scored from the last complete lap.
If the race is stopped at less than half duration, it may be restarted at
the Race Officer's discretion.
The courses will consist of two or three marks running over a large course
approximately 2-2.5 miles.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Flags
Green Pilots' meeting
red at any time other than the start of the race means race cancelled. Stop
and return slowly, but immediately, to the pit area
black if a competitor or their equipment is deemed dangerous (or a danger to
others) by a marshal or the Race Officer, then the pilot may be
black-flagged and will have to return to the pit area immediately while
keeping clear of other competitors. If flagged due to equipment failure, the
fault may be fixed and the pilot will be allowed to return to the race
Yellow means danger and pilots should slow down, check their speed and be
prepared to stop if necessary
All buggies must be numbered on both sides with numbers 14cm high with a 2cm
stripe. Black numbers on a white background. Any duplication of numbers will
be resolved during registration. It is advised that all competitors bring
along some black tape so that they can make changes if necessary.
Rules will be as FISLY Class 8 with regards to karts, wheels, flying lines,
harnesses and other matters unless otherwise stated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Start
The start line will be long enough for all competitors to start safely -
1-2m per pilot.
The start will be a rolling start - all competitors must be moving in the
final minute.
Blue flag 15 minutes
Yellow flag 1 minute
Red flag 10 seconds with audible countdown. Start when red flag is dropped.
An audible warning may accompany the dropped red flag at the start of the
race
Any pilot who jumps the start will be black flagged and have to serve a
10-second stop-and-go penalty in the pits!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Finish
The finish line may or may not be in a different place to the start line. It
may not be as wide as the start line.
The last lap flag will come out when the lead pilot's last lap will run over
the two-hour time limit e.g. if the lap takes ten minutes and the lead pilot
comes around at 1hr 51mins, the last lap will start.
The last lap will be indicated by a yellow flag with a black stripe.
A black and white chequered flag will indicate the end of the race.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Anti-collision rules
All pilots will break right to avoid a head-on collision.
Pilots on a converging course will protect their right, so the pilot on the
right has priority .i.e the pilot on the left must avoid the pilot on the
right.
Kite position
When crossing, overtaking or passing, the upwind pilot must raise his kite
and the downwind pilot must lower his kite. The overtaking must show
consideration for the overtaken.
Re-launching kites
The launching or landing of kites in such a way as to cause an obstruction
to other pilots is strictly forbidden. Once the kite is at the top of the
window the pilot has the air and must be considered an obstacle. When the
pilots lines and kite are on the ground they are also considered as
obstacles that must be avoided. Pilots may only launch their kites when this
will not cause an obstruction to other pilots.
Gybe & Tack
Gybing and tacking pilots will accept responsibility in the event of an
obstruction to other pilots, whether with priority or not. The turning pilot
has to shout "Gybe" or "Tack" so that the other pilots know what he is about
to do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Marks
Any pilot who hits a mark must go back round the mark to prove he has not
been advantaged by the manoeuvre.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Pits
Competitors can only change kites or karts within the pit area.
Help and assistance from your team or anyone else is allowed.
Anyone changing outside this area will be disqualified.
Once you have entered the pit area you must come to a complete stop before
continuing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Protests
Protests must be lodged within 15 mins of the end of the race verbally to
the Race Officer. Protests will be decided on by a three man jury one of
which will be the Race Officer and the others will be chosen by the Race
Officer from the competitors or marshals. After scoring a further 15 min for
protests will be allowed before scores become official. If a protest is
upheld then a further 15mins will be allowed for, for further protests and
so on until a protest is not upheld and it becomes official.
