this is from the msa rag:

"Trial for suspension of
penalty points in karting
In a bid to improve driving standards
within karting, the Motor Sports Council
approved a proposal from the Judicial
Advisory Panel to trial the suspension of
penalty points for certain offences at kart
events.
The Panel proposed that Regulations
C2.1.5(i) Driving and C2.1.5(ii) Failure
to comply with flag or light signals
be suspended for kart events until
the end of this year. Competitors will
still be punished at the time for their
transgressions, but no penalty points will
be imposed on their competition licence
in relation to those incidents.
“There have been anecdotal reports
that some officials may have been wary
of penalising drivers for offences that
carry automatic penalty points,” says
Colin Hilton, MSA Chief Executive.
“There have also been representations
made to the MSA that because of the
comparatively large number of races
they contest, kart competitors could be
at greater risk of losing their licences
when the regulations are properly
imposed.
“As the governing body, we do not
believe that turning a blind eye to poor
driving is good for the sport nor does
it send out the right message to teams
and competitors. We do have an urgent
need to address a decline in driving
standards – particularly in karting –
which is turning people away from the
sport. We will be monitoring this trial
closely and very much hope that it will
enable officials to punish offenders
where appropriate and thereby raise
standards for all competitors.”
Regulation C2.1.5(iii) General Conduct
will continue to attract penalty points for
breaches of the regulation."

i guess its a case of wait and see. depends on the officials on the day, so no real change other than to retain drivers
