surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017

v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given
E46h Flags

surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver

stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an

extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]

v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver

the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the

stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event

surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver

E46 Dynamic Events
E46a Brake Test
i All the Go-Karts have to pass the brake test to participate indynamic events The Go-Kart must
stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the

surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given
E46h Flags

Red Flag - Come to an immediate safe controlled stop on the coursePull to the side of the course
as much as possible to keep the course open follow course marshalrsquos directions
Yellow Flag (Stationary) - Danger SLOW DOWN be prepared totake evasive action something
has happened beyond the flag station NO PASSING unless directed by the course marshals
Yellow Flag (Waved) - Great Danger SLOW DOWN evasiveaction is most likely required BE
PREPARED TO STOP something has happened beyond the flag station NO PASSING unless
directed by the course marshals
ii Informational Flags
Orange Flag - Something is on the racing surface that should not bethere Be prepared for evasive
maneuvers to avoid the situation (Course marshals may be able to point out what and where it is
located but do not expect it)
White Flag - There is a slow moving Go-Kart on the course that ismuch slower than you are Be
prepared to approach it at a cautious rate
E46i Endurance Penalties
The penalties in effect during theendurance event are listed below
i Cone down or out Five (5) seconds per cone This includescones before the start line and after
the finish line

stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event

E46 Dynamic Events
E46a Brake Test
i All the Go-Karts have to pass the brake test to participate indynamic events The Go-Kart must
stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given
E46h Flags

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event

E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an

extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017

exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

E46 Dynamic Events
E46a Brake Test
i All the Go-Karts have to pass the brake test to participate indynamic events The Go-Kart must
stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the

stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an

extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an

extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event

ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track

surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance

be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an

extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event

extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event

the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017

v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

E46 Dynamic Events
E46a Brake Test
i All the Go-Karts have to pass the brake test to participate indynamic events The Go-Kart must
stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event
E46g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting i The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event
ii Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting No team members are allow on track
iii If a Go-Kart stops on the track 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart DNF will
be given

stop in a straight line after the brake is applied on the Go-Kart Each Go-Kart will be given 3
attempts to pass the brake test But in case if the Go-Kart passes the test in first attempt it will not
be given any other trials
ii Teams have to clear the braking test Brake Test does not have anypoints but it is mandatory for
the teams to qualify this round to participate in the dynamic round
E46b Acceleration Test
i The acceleration event evaluates the Go-Kartrsquos acceleration in a straight line on flat pavement
ii Procedure The karts will accelerate from a standing start over adistance of 50 m on a flat
surface The foremost part of the Go-Kart will be staged at exactly behind the starting line The
time taken to accelerate would be measured
iii Scoring The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 200 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Penalty Cones Down or Out (DOO) A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time
vi Did Not Attempt (DNA) If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event then
those teams would receive DNA
E46c Cross Pad
i In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart to measure the Kartrsquos cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driverrsquos skill
ii Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart The inner circles will be 10m in diameter and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter The driving path will be the 3m (9842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet After completing 8 pattern shapes It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m Tyres will be placed as an
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-42
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first
iv Scoring formula Scoring formula 300 times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different driversScoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
v Penalties-
Cones Outtouch- A penalty of 1 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is
knocked outtouch (including gate cones)
Cone Down- A penalty of 2 second will be added to the timefor every cone that is knocked
down (including gate cones)
Missing cone- A penalty of 5 second will be added formissing a cone during multiple movement
on either side path and 10 sec for missing center cone
Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished
Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure ie run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished
Tyre touchhit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver donrsquot stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate
Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skitsdrift the kart after exit gate
E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event

the figure given below
Fig Cross-pad layout
iii Procedure-
The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap This completes one lap After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate
Driver has to stop hisher kart within 10m after exit gate
A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first

E46d Endurance Round
i Objective The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kartrsquosoverall performance
reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone
Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications Average speed should be
around 45 kmhr (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 kmhr
iii Race Track
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon will be intimated through mail
iv Scoring formula 400times [(TlongestndashTyours) (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v Fueling amp Charging
The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
wwwimperialsocietyin| 0181-5071818 |Page-44
Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel
Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100
Before the beginning of the endurance event theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators eg carburetor float bowls will be drained The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed
After the end of race teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
iii This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat
iv Scoring formula 200times [(Fmax ndashFyours) (Fmax - Fmin)]
E46f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief MarshalDirector of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow too
aggressive or driving in a manner that in the sole opinion of the event officials demonstrates an

reliability and efficiency Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time
ii Procedureamp Specifications
In general the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event The endurance distance is approximately 10km (621 miles)
No Driver change is allowed during race
4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited
Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone

scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it
This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
This will use for fuel economy test
E46e Fuel economy test
i The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat
ii The Go-Kartrsquos fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge
