CIK full coverage plastic rear protection system is required. 4-stroke classes must conform to a traditional sprint setup with no lay-down seats. All rules are subject to change at promoter’s discretion, including class weights. Tire warmers and tire prep are strictly prohibited. If tires are found to be outside of the durometer window or do not pass the ‘sniffer’, those tires will be marked illegal and may be cause for driver suspension.

*ALL TIRES MUST BE PURCHASED FROM PIQUET RACEPARK, THEY WILL BE SCANNED.
*ALL WEIGHTS MUST BE PAINTED WHITE AND HAVE THE DRIVERS NUMBER ON IT
Unless otherwise stated, a competitor's age for the 2023 race season will be determined by that competitor's age on December 31st, 2023. Competitors whose age on December 31, 2023, does not meet the class minimum MUST either present proof of a waiver from another major series (i.e., WKA, USPKS, SKUSA, or SSKC) or request, in writing, a waiver from PRP. If a waiver is requested from PRP, the competitor's racing resume and history with PRP will be reviewed and a decision will be provided, in writing, within 30 days. If a waiver is not approved, the competitor may request a review after each 30-day period following the original decision.
ALL DRIVERS UNDER THE AGE OF 16 YEARS OLD (JUNIOR AND DOWN) MUST WEAR SFI 20.1 COMPLIANT CHEST PROTECTION AT ALL TIMES WHEN ON TRACK. PENALTIES WILL BE ASSESSED FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS DIRECTIVE.
CIK Push Back Bumper Systems are required for ALL Piquet Racepark classes.
The use of the following homologated items are mandatory for Piquet Race Club Competition:
The front nose must be affixed to the kart with the CIK-stamped Front Fairing Mounting Kit, with the stamped arrow facing up. It must be possible for the front fairing to move freely back in the direction of the chassis without any obstruction from any part that may restrict movement. Any mechanical work or other intervention to maximize the friction of the front bumpers is strictly forbidden.
The black flag with an orange disc will not be shown to a driver if a drivers front “PBB” fairing is no longer in the correct position. If the front “PBB” fairing is no longer in the correct position after the race with one side pushed in, a 3 seconds penalty will be imposed automatically to the driver. If the front “PBB” fairing is no longer in the correct position after the race with both sides pushed in, a time penalty of 5 seconds will be imposed automatically to the driver. The penalty may not be protested or appealed. The front fairing must be in the correct position at all times during competitive elements, (see CIK Technical drawings 2c and 2d). Should a driver or other person put back in place a front fairing that was not correctly positioned before the driver crosses the scales and reports to Tech, the driver will be disqualified from that competitive session.
