FORMULA TKM OPEN UNIQUE NEW DRIVER CLUB
REGISTER OF IDEAS

Formula TKM drivers are being given a unique new way to help guide the direction of their classes in both 2-stroke and 4-stroke categories with the opening of a special new TKM Drivers Club register.
 
Tal-Ko Racing, organisers of the classes, the 2-stroke one of which has been a mainstay of UK karting over 20 years, have created the new idea to help give their drivers maximum say in the direction the classes take in future years particularly on technical matters.
 
Launching the idea, Tal-Ko Managing Director Alan Turney said: “We have always listened very carefully to what our drivers have said and we very much take note of that when taking decisions. What we are doing now is opening up a simple direct channel of communication which we hope drivers will use to pass on constructive thoughts.
 
“Of course we cannot always please everyone but we will do our absolute best to keep things moving in a direction which appears in keeping with the majority of thoughts.”
 
Tal-Ko have set up a special email address – ideas@tkmdriversclub.com – where drivers are asked to send their thoughts.
 
Current topics being considered for next year include:

• On 2-stroke, changing the chassis homologation to a simpler cheaper method of registration, or even doing away with it completely and just setting clear rules on what is and is not allowed.
   
• Again 2-stroke, consideration on the use of larger size axles and or maybe caster/camber adjustment.
   
• Possible small increase in weight limit for senior 2-stroke class only.
   
• Review of weights in the Junior and Senior 4-stroke classes

Adds Alan Turney: “Every email will be looked at and considered. We cannot promise to send a full reply to everyone but rest assured your thoughts will be taken into account.”
 
Ideas and suggestions for the TKM classes should be emailed to: ideas@tkmdriversclub.com.
