time taken to accelerate would be measured.
Scoring: The acceleration score is based upon the corrected elapsedtime. Elapsed time will be
measured from the time the karts crosses the starting line until it crosses the finish line.
Scoring formula: Scoring formula: 200 × [(Tlongest–Tyours)/ (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
Penalty: Cones Down or Out (DOO): A two second (2 sec) penalty will be addedfor each DOO
(including entry and exit gate cones) that occurred on that particular run to give the corrected
elapsed time.
Did Not Attempt (DNA): If the Go-Kart did not attempt or if it does notcomplete the event, then
those teams would receive DNA.
E.4.6.c Cross Pad
i.
In this round the Kart should be driven through a track specified by the organizers. This round
checks the maneuverability of Kart, to measure the Kart’s cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn and driver’s skill.
ii.
Cross Pad Layout- There will be two (2) pairs of concentric circles in afigure of eight pattern.
The centers of these circles will be 13m apart. The inner circles will be 10m in diameter, and the
outer circles will be 16m in diameter. The driving path will be the 3m (9.842 feet) path between
the inner and outer circles. The Go-Karts will enter and exit through gates on a 3 m wide path that
is tangential to the circles where they meet. After completing 8 pattern shapes. It (Kart) will pass
through a multiple movement on either side path, where cones are placed in such a way that the
Kart will make sinusoidal wave pattern about cones without touching them. There are 6 cones at a
distance of 3m each and 1 cone at a center of circle of radius 6 m. Tyres will be placed as an

ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
extreme stopping point at a distance of 10m from exit gate. The path for cross pad is described in
the figure given below
Fig. Cross-pad layout
iii.
Procedure-
 The track is laid as shown above and the Go-Karts will enter the track perpendicular to the figure
eight. They must take one full lap on the right circle to establish the turn and the Go-Kart must
move on to the left circle to complete the lap. This completes one lap. After that Kart have to
move for multiple movement on either side path and revolve about center cone. Finally Kart will
move to the exit gate.
 Driver has to stop his/her kart within 10m after exit gate.
 A driver has the option to take a second run immediately after the first.
iv.
Scoring formula: Scoring formula: 300 × [(Tlongest–Tyours)/ (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
NOTE: Each team may make two (2) attempts but with different drivers.Scoring will be based on
the better of the two attempts.

 Unfinished- Go-Karts that has gone out of the track will continue aslong as they have not gone off
course will be classified as Unfinished.
 Incorrect Laps- Go-Karts that do not follow procedure, i.e. run anincorrect number of laps or run
the Laps in the wrong sequence will also be classified as unfinished.
 Tyre touch/hit- A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver don’t stop the kart within 10 m after
exit gate.
 Skit-A penalty of 50 point will be added if driver intentionally skits/drift the kart after exit gate.
E.4.6.d Endurance Round
i. Objective: The endurance event is designed to evaluate the Go-Kart’soverall performance,
reliability and efficiency. Unlike fuel economy tests that result in Go-Karts going as slow as
possible in order to use the least amount of fuel, IKR rewards the team that can cover a designated
distance on a fixed amount of fuel in least amount of time.
ii. Procedure& Specifications:
 In general, the team completing the laps in the shortest time will earn the maximum points
available for this event. The endurance distance is approximately 10km (6.21 miles).
 No Driver change is allowed during race.
 4 wheel to wheel racing is prohibited.
 Passing another Go-Kart may only be done in an established passing zone.
 Course speeds can be estimated by the following course specifications. Average speed should be
around 45 km/hr. (28 mph) with top speeds of approximately 70 km/hr.
iii. Race Track:
Teams can see racing track with dimension on web site soon/ will be intimated through mail.
iv. Scoring formula: 400× [(Tlongest–Tyours)/ (Tlongest- Tshortest)]
v. Fueling & Charging:
 The organizer will not provide fuel (petrol) for only endurance round.
www.imperialsociety.in| 0181-5071818 |Page-43
ISIE-INDIAN KARTING-2017
 Team should use a normal fuel which is available on public petrol pumps except endurance round.
Teams are restricted to use any type of octane booster mixed with fuel.
 Organizer will provide fuel whose octane number range is between 95 and100.
 Before the beginning of the endurance event, theGo-Kart fuel tank and any downstream fuel
accumulators, e.g., carburetor float bowls, will be drained. The allocated amount of fuel will then
be added to the tank by the Steward and the filler will be sealed.
 After the end of race, teams immediately have to take their kart to announced place where
scrutineer will check the use of fuel from fuel tank by adding fuel and measure it.
 This fuel for re filled will provide by teams to scrutineer
 Amount of fuel refilled = Amount of fuel consumed
 This will use for fuel economy test
E.4.6.e Fuel economy test
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
The fuel economy test is based on the average liters per kilometer fuel economy obtained during
the endurance heat.
The Go-Kart’s fuel economy will be measured in conjunction with the endurance event. The fuel
economy under racing conditions is important in most forms of racing and also shows how well
the Go-Kart has been tuned for the Challenge.
This is an event where optimization is needed because the fuel economy score and endurance
score will be calculated from the same heat. No refueling will be allowed during an endurance
heat.
Scoring formula: 200× [(Fmax –Fyours)/ (Fmax - Fmin)]
E.4.6.f Inexperienced Driver
The Chief Marshal/Director of Operations may disqualify a driver if the driver is too slow, too
aggressive, or driving in a manner that, in the sole opinion of the event officials, demonstrates an
inability to properly control their Go-Kart. This will result in a Did Not Finish (DNF) for the
event.
E.4.6.g Endurance Go-Kart Restarting
i. The Go-Kart must be capable of restarting at all-time once the Go-Kart has begun the event.
ii. Marshal will assist if there is problem in engine starting. No team members are allow on track.
iii. If a Go-Kart stops on the track, 2 minutes will be given and if kart is not able to restart. DNF will
be given.
E.4.6.h Flags


The IKR event being organized by ISIE is a challenge of design engineering and
manufacturing competition that requires performance demonstration of Hybrid and
Electric Karts and is NOT a race. Engineering ethics will apply.
It is ISIE- IKR RULES & REGULATION 2017 www.imperialsociety.in recognized that
lots of hard work has been put in by the teams for an entry into IKR Event.
It is also recognized that this event is an “innovation enhancement experience” but that it
often times becomes confused with a high stakes race. In the heat of competition,
emotions peak and disputes arise.
The officials of ISIE are trained volunteers and maximum effort will be put in to settle
the disputes an equitable, professional manner.
