Engines used within
the class are identical, apart from a capacity change
between Junior 128/136/142
(100cc) and the Junior/Senior Extreme
(115cc) classes.
Virtually no modifications are allowed and real tight
rules ensure a level playing field for everyone.
The karts must be built and
TKM homologated
by approved manufacturers
and meet with certain criteria which help hold down
costs. New karts may only be homologated for use every
three years. (Homologation
period last 12 years)
The result has been tremendous stability in
the class combined with superbly close
racing making the formula
the backbone of the sport for newcomers and potential
F1 stars alike. By placing the accent on driver
ability rather than cheque-book it helps
to identify the
very best driving talent.
Tal-Ko
has played a key role in maintaining the stability
and strength of the class while at the same time
moving it forwards with innovations such as the TKM
Festival – the largest single
formula event there is. There have been technical
innovations too with the development of a low cost
optional clutch and remote electric starter system.
With three classes covering every age and size range
from 10yrs to 60+, Formula TKM offers incredible
value racing for drivers of every type and budget.
It is easy and
inexpensive to transfer from one class to another so
you can grow with your kart without the need to sell
the equipment and start again.
From
each Junior weight
band (128/136/142)
the transfer takes just
moments
changing to a different
carb
air restrictor. The
transfer to Junior/Senior Extreme requires an engine bore
to increase capacity
from 100cc to 115cc
-
normally carried out as part of a standard routine
rebuild.
