Engine Measuring

 

Riders may be randomly selected for engine measuring at each round. The selected competitors will be notified and will need to have their machines available for inspection after the first day of competition. 

Engines measured will need to be within a 2% cc tolerance of the class limit, competitors whose machines are found to be outside of these tolerances will be disqualified from the championship and all points scored up to that point will be forfeited.

Competitors who have failed a measurement will need to produce their machine for re-examination prior to being permitted to compete in the championship further.

Failure to present your machine for measuring without sufficient reason, as decided by Nora Motorsport, will result in the same penalty for the competitor as a failed test.

The Permitted class capacities are as follows: 

*Electric class – 8KW maximum

*50cc class – 50cc maximum 

*65cc class – 65cc maximum

*110cc class – 112cc maximum
