I guess I wasn’t blatantly clear with “I think its safe to guess its not a U.S. motor but I’m still curious.” By which I meant that i think it isn’t even available through open distribution in the U.S.  I’m well aware that it is neither IKF SKUSA WKA or USPKS motor and i know no local club runs it near me.

I think the engine definitely needs a weight break it just plane and simple makes less power. If you look at both WKA and SKUSA you’ll see in past seasons both X30 and Leopard were different weights and ran perfectly fine together. This year weights are the same for both in both series. At Go Pro Motorplex their club races its the same situation. With these facts I don’t think it is to ridiculous to say the changes were made so that people running leopards are effectively forced to buy the X30 even though the leopard is available. This way both series can eventually faze out the motor as a viable option and parallel with USPKS’s plans for 2016.

The issue is it over complicated things makes things more expensive and means that there could be such things as brake checking and when I say clean I mean no one goes off the track no one gets shoved out of the way but they still bump each other in and out of corners being that they have gear boxes with a lot of torque. This means a driver could get a slightly better run out of a corner and exceed to 5 kph impact rating and have to some in even though they did nothing but hit a bumper

I have to agree with Rob Kz1/2 is not only a one of the most competitive classes but its one of the cleanest, if you watch live streams (or tape delayed) of Kz class drivers is nothing but good clean driving. Maybe that’s something to do with the fact that KZ engines have the bottom to mid range that if you drive off line you can still pull out of the corners after making a pass with out immediately getting over undered. The issue in classes like KF and KF3 is the engines are notoriously boggy through the mid range and that makes passing, well for lack of a better word annoying. I’m not saying punting is OK or right but punting a guy wide instead of genuinely passing him gives you more time to really get up to speed.

Also Australia runs both full and frame width rear bumpers in every class they still see punting still see rough over aggressive driving and they see some horrific crashes. I’ve watched videos of Australian driving and i have friends who drive in Australia it doesn’t make a huge difference with bumping and such because if there’s a will there’s way. Even if you can’t hit the corner of a kart to punt someone you can still load someone up in the center. Sure its going to change how people punt and make it harder but people are still going to find themselves out of a race from a solid bumper shove.

There are actually a few people on the forum for the game that have done just that.

I’ve raced Game Stock car karts ,every rfactor kart, the rfactor 2 karts, and the Assetto Corsa Modded karts and nothing compares to Kart Racing Pro. The physics in comparison to the big name sims is light years ahead in realism. Of course what you lose with KRP is a bit of Game stability and its a lot more laggy then rfactor 2 or Assetto Corsa.  But have no fear the game is in constant development. Another truly awesome thing is the karts actually look like the karts we drive in real life.

I’ve raced with Xander and his league for about 4 years now (137 in the above video) and I’ve loved every second of it. If you buy the game be sure to look at their website: http://skwcracing.wix.com/home

Im looking for the elevation of the track, coupled with a track map, im not sure what file format it needs to be though the data i have from pheonix came in drk gpk rrk and imd

[Ian Bushey]

what ever format the mychron 4 has it sat as. if there are more than one than please give me all of the files

[Ian Bushey]

If anyone does have the data could they also be sent to me as i can make them for a kart sim called kart racing pro

[Ian Bushey]

Walt you misunderstand they don’t need to, it comes with the territory of everyone being so fast and good that when racing so closely they just bump and jostle a little bit. As you’ve said you won a single track championship in ’01 that doesn’t sound to me like an equivalent to WSK karting in 2015, and I don’t mean this as offense I’m simply saying your reference for winning a championship with no contact is not a parallel.
