Cut-Through
The cut-through bypasses the middle track sector to aid overtaking. Every competitor will have 1x cut-through to use in the feature race each round only*

Drop Round
We know 8 rounds is a lot to commit to, so only a drivers best 7 rounds will count towards their championship. This means you can afford to miss a round OR disregard a bad result!
Power Round
When drivers and teams sign up to compete, they will be asked to select a 'Power Round' This round will double whatever total points they earn at that event. Points will be doubled AFTER the event and not whilst it is taking place.
Track Layouts
The PKC uses the standard and reverse configurations during the season and will be announced at random at the start of events*
*Reverse layout is weather dependant & subject to all participants having experience of the layout

Practice
On arrival at each event, drivers will have an opportunity to have a brief practice to get to grips with the conditions, track and karts. If you have an opportunity, we strongly encourage your to visit the track before taking part in a PKC event. Always check availability beforehand.
Special events
During the season we will be holding special events meaning even if you can't commit to the full season, there will always be something you can race for.
