Regarding racing in the open class:
What is the weight limit? (is there one if its an open class?!)
Does the fuel tank restriction apply to the open class?
Im guessing no front brakes allowed?
as we are in the open class, (running a tuned thunderkart engine),do we have to run the controlled tyre, or can we run an open tyre? (i dont really want to buy a brand new set just for the race because of the cost on top of entry)
as we are not able to win, being as we will be in the open class, do the weight and tyre rules apply to us? also, will we be able to qualify, or will we have to start off the back of the grid?
cheers
