A registered AMB Karting transponder is mandatory beginning from Official Practice until the end of the Final. It must be fixed on the lower rear-facing back of the kart seat. RMCAF specifies that the transponder is mounted at a maximum of 40cm measured from the ground (and no higher than 40cm). Drivers are responsible for the proper functioning of their transponder in all cases.
e) Conditions for acceptance or refusal of Entries
All entries received will be considered by the Organiser having regard to the suitability of the kart and driver. The Organiser may refuse to accept an entry without assigning a reason and their decision is final in such respect. Where an entry is not accepted by the Organiser, the entry fee will be refunded in full. A competitor may enter any number of classes if their age allows as per sporting regulation but the basic entry fee of the specific category/class must be paid and an additional entry fee be paid for each additional category/class entered [for example, participating in Senior MAX (RM7,000) and DD2 MAX Masters (RM7,000)]. It is the responsibility of the competitor to ensure that he /she has sufficient time between races to switch karts or components to comply with a particular category/class. No time allowance will be given to anyone. Slick and wet race tyres will be given to the Drivers/ Team Entrants from the race organisers of RMCAF. 2 sets of slicks and 1 set of wet tyres per event is allowed from qualifying practice. It is the Entrant’s responsibility to ensure that every person concerned by his/her entry observes all the provisions of the National Competition Regulations, and the Technical Regulations and Sporting Regulations of the engine that is being used. If an Entrant is unable to be present in person at the event, he must nominate his representative in writing. The person having charge of an entered kart during any part of an event is responsible jointly and severally with the Entrant for ensuring that the provisions are observed.
Entrants must ensure that their karts comply with the conditions of conformity and safety throughout the event. The presentation of the kart for scrutineering and signing of the scrutineering form will be deemed an implicit statement of conformity.
An Entrant can be either the driver himself or a Team. In the case of a Team, a MAM Team Entrant licence for 2022 (Malaysian licence holders) or for foreign drivers their own ASN must be produced at the time of registration. Failure to produce a valid Team Licence will render the entry be classified under the driver’s name.
