The Hill House Hammond MSA Formula Junior Intercontinental 'A' British Championship
For 13 to 16 year olds, 100cc piston port engine with centrifugal clutch and various tuning restrictions. They use Bridgestone YEQ tyres and Yellow number plates with black numbers. This is also a class raced internationally and many of our drivers will also compete in European and World events. Timed qualifying in small groups will be held at the end of Saturday practice.

The ABkC Formula Junior TKM National Championship
For 11 to 16 year olds, restricted to 100cc British TKM engine with a 19mm inlet restrictor and approved British made karts. No tuning or chassis modifications are allowed. Uses Maxxis long life tyres and Blue number plates with white numbers.

The ABkC Formula Junior Intermediate TKM National Championship
As Junior TKM, but with a 20.5mm restrictor, higher weight limit to suit bigger juniors, and uses white number plates with black numbers.

The ABkC Dunlop Cadet National Championship
Cadets are for 8 to 12 year olds, and the specially approved mini-chassis (not restricted to British makes) use a 60cc Comer engine. Tyres are from Dunlop and number plates are yellow with black numbers.

The Hill House Hammond MSA Formula 'A' British Championship
For over 16 year olds using 100cc rotary valve engines with a 24mm carburettor. Few engine restrictions make this the fastest 100cc class, and many of our drivers also participate in the European and World karting championships. Uses Dunlop DAM tyres and has yellow number plates with black numbers. Timed qualifying for the heats is held at the end of the Saturday practice day.

The ABkC Bridgestone Intercontinental A National Championship
This class is one of the hardest fought and competitive classes, using internationally homologated (registered and approved) chassis with 100cc reed valve engines. For seniors (16th year and above), using Bridgestone tyres and white number plates with black numbers. (There is also a special championship qualifier separate to the Super 1 to gain entry to the European Championships and progress to Formula A European and World level karting. This year the qualifier is being held in France, with the final in Portugal). Each driver in this class will take part in a ten minute timed session, to set the initial grid position in the heats.

The ABkC Vega Formula 100 National Championship
This class uses Formula A rotary engines from the earlier (not the current) homologation period and Vega tyres to lengthen life. No particular chassis homologations are necessary, allowing smaller British manufacturers an outlet. The number plates are green with white numbers.

The ABkC Formula TKM National Championships
The same engine and chassis types as the junior, but without an engine restrictor, makes it easy to move from Junior to Senior. The class uses red number plates with white numbers and Maxxis tyres. The TKM classes are raced extensively at club level, resulting in high competition to just qualify for the right to race in the Super 1.

The ABkC Rotax Max National Championship
Offered for the first time in 2001, this senior class runs to the regulations in the MSA Kart Race Yearbook (the Gold Book). The engine is a powerful 125cc two-stroke, with an on-board electric self-starter. MG slicks are used.

The ABkC Junior Rotax UK National Championship
Offered for the first time in 2001, the class is run to the regulations in the MSA Kart Race Yearbook (the Gold Book), and chassis registrations are NOT required. A de-tuned version of the senior 125cc engine is used.

Super One Dates for 2001

Super One FAQ Sheet

The S1 organisers have issued this Facts sheet for the benefit of drivers:

1. The S1 Series is the most popular and prestigious karting series in the UK, featuring British Championships for Senior and Junior classes, and ABkC National Championships for Cadets, Junior and Senior classes. This is non gearbox karting at its very best.

2. Entry to the series is by qualification, unless a driver finished in the top fifteen of the previous year's championship, whereby that driver becomes seeded, or unless the entry for the class does not exceed 48.

3. Qualification is over two rounds, all points from all heats and finals to count. The highest points scorers take the available places in each class. All other drivers are placed on the championship reserve list.

4. The actual dates and venues for the qualification rounds are advised within 14 days of the registration closing date.

5. ABkC control fuel is mandatory at all qualifying and series events.

6. Control tyres are mandatory for all classes in the championship series, but not qualifiers.

7. The championship series itself is over six rounds for all classes, except F.A and JICA who have seven rounds.

8. The race entry fee is £72.50 at all events, and includes Saturday practice.

9. For several years now, the end of season prize giving fund has exceeded £50,000 with a further £20,000 being given away in trophies and prizes at individual events. There is no other karting series that can come close to these figures, in fact these figures far exceed many motorsport championship prize funds.

10. The registration fee for qualifying is £40, with a further £40 payable is qualification is successful. These are the only fees paid directly by competitors to the Super One Series and the total of these fees represent less than 50% of the prize fund.

11. The television coverage for the last three seasons has cost in excess of £40,000 per year, and has to be funded by the series. This would not be possible without the support and sponsorship received from Total Elf Fina, Hill House Hammond and Tal-Ko.

12. The organisers have signed up to use AMB TranX160 transponders from the 2000 season, which means that all competitors for the series will have to purchase or hire a transponder. This is in line with ABkC policy that all drivers shall own a transponder of their own by the year 2001, and that all ABkC clubs will run the system from 2001 onwards.
