The Sprint involves competitors starting in a defined starting ‘box’, undertaking an 80 to 100m sprint, executing a 180 degree turn and then returning to a stopped position wholly within the finish ‘box’. A series of cones will be placed to identify the course. Failure to remain within the area marked by the cones or hitting the cones will result in a penalty being awarded. An overshoot area will be provided at both ends of the course.
Starting – When your kart is in position the starter will lower the green flag. Timing will then commence.
Stopping – Karts must come to a complete stop within their designated Stop Box. Engine shut down and both hands raised before timing stops. Karts failing to stop within the box will have that run unrecorded.
The slalom is broadly similar to the Sprint with the exception that the slalom sections contain a series of cones placed at varying intervals that competitors must weave through. A series of cones will be placed to identify the course. Failure to remain within the area marked by the cones or hitting the cones will result in a penalty being awarded. An overshoot area will be provided at both ends of the course.

The drag race involves up to four karts per heat, in a first past the post sprint down a straight length of track. First round winners progress in the event. First round second place getters enter the plate competition. Other place getters are out of the remainder of the event.
The kart relay involves approximately four karts per heat. Each kart must complete 8 laps of the circuit, with a driver change after each 2 laps. A pit grid will be set up for driver changes to occur. Karts must be stopped and engines off before changeover can commence. Karts entering the pit grid area too quickly, or any dangerous actions while in the pit grid area, may lead to pit marshals applying an immediate time penalty, delaying the karts exit from the pit grid area.
Note: the relay finalists are selected on fastest run times, not position achieved in the heats.
