Tal-Ko Confirm Changes to TKM 2 Stroke Class For 2010

By news ~ September 30th, 2009. Filed under: Kart Racing News.

Tal-Ko have confirmed proposed changes to the TKM class will come into force in 2010

The changes are as follows

* Any kart permitted which meets MSA direct drive regulations.

* Kart must have no caster/camber adjustment (can be achieved by using central bushes to neutralise).

* Rear axle up to 50mm but still retained in only two bearings. (Remove central 3rd bearing if required)

* Torsion bars etc not permitted (can be removed if fitted).

* Front brakes not permitted.

* New modern construction and formulation green label dry weather Maxxis tyre to match latest EEC ‘green’ requirements.

* New lighter and heavier categories within the Junior class together with associated restrictor sizes to equalise performance across a wider spread of sizes and reduce the weight of lead on karts.

* Revised Senior Extreme weight with 4kg on minimum weight to help taller/heavier drivers and lighter category with restrictor to equalise for all lighter drivers.

Upgrades for the TKM TaG engine will also become available. “In addition Tal-Ko have announced that there will be small upgrades on the new TAG (touch and go) specification engines to equalise performance against direct drive engines. These will be carried out free of charge for existing owners and will be announced in detail within the next month.”

Alan Turney had this to say about the future of Formula TKM “These are the largest changes we have made to the 2-stroke class regulations. But after nearly 20 years the time was right to modernise the class in line with the general trends within karting. We know we have a very solid base of drivers who like this move and hope we can also attract many more in now that it is easy to use an existing kart chassis. We offer the best value kart racing and that’s how we intend to stay.”

Expect full regulation details next week.
