125cc Non-Gearbox
(Rotax Max Class)
The 125cc Rotax Max powered
kart is restricted, guaranteeing every competitor an equal chance. The 125
Rotax does not have a gearbox but utilises a centrifugal clutch and is
water-cooled.
Top speed is around 170kph, and the rules restrict engine modifications
and components to 'as standard', and the karts must use a longer life
tyre. The technical regulations for the Rotax Max Superkart class is
exactly the same as the Sprint Kart class, with the option of fitting a
more aerodynamic nose cone and bubble for better performance on the long
circuit.
The class is new to Australia and growing rapidly, and may eventually be
largest Superkarting class available. With over 3000 Rotax Max karts sold
in Australia in recent years, many drivers are now moving from the cut and
thrust of Sprint Kart racing to the higher speeds and more subtle style of
long circuit racing.
It is the most affordable form of Superkarting. Seniors ( under 40 ) and
Masters ( over 40 ) classes are currently racing and provide heaps of fun
and great racing for the young and not so young. |
