Any driver deemed to have deliberately caused contact to another competitor may be penalised. Any driver defending their position on a straight, and before any braking area, may use the full width of the track during their FIRST move, providing no significant portion of the kart attempting to pass is alongside theirs. Whilst defending in this way the driver may not leave the track without justifiable reason. If you do not hold an MSA licence, you are required to comlete a Driver Proficiency Test (available from ryehouseikr.co.uk) and return it to the track when signing on. This will ensure you understand the rules of racing, etiquette and flags. RULES & REGS 1.0
