Does anyone do Cross cars? (Crosskart, Kartcross, Crosscar)

Klouczech · 13 Jul 2017, 07:23 (Ref:3750864)

I do race in Crosskart division in Czech Republic, which is called Kartcross.
I think it is amazing and I'm curious If someone do this kind of motorsport in other countries.

My first race of this season:
We installed our spare engine (CBR) and had problems with injected amount of fuel. I also damaged the suspension and had gearbox problems in the final run.
We are happy that we finished the race...

I had to participate in two races during one weekend.
Kartcross in Nová Paka + 24 hour kart race in Prague during night.

Everything went unexpectedly well and we survived!

Whoa! Not so hasty!

There are races for similar in the UK - mostly using Polaris or Yamaha machinery.

Secondly, the FIA decided this summer:

The World Motor Sport Council has confirmed the establishment of a National Cross Car project initiated by the ASN Task Force and the Development Department, which aims to implement an affordable Off-Road motor sport discipline/category.

The framework for the project is as follows:

Cross Car (XC) = RWD single seater “buggy type” car, multi tubular steel frame, motorbike engine (capacity: 600cc / 750cc). Low purchasing cost, easy to maintain and low running cost.
Cross Car can be driven on different types of surfaces (gravel, asphalt, ice) and on “easy to construct” facilities.
Cross Car completes the Rally and Off-Road pyramids as an access discipline/category for young people around the world.
In some European countries, Cross Cars (called Cross Kart, Sprint Car or Kart Cross) are already very popular as an affordable Off-Road discipline for drivers of all ages and are used as a natural pathway for young drivers heading for Rally or Rallycross.

Technical Regulations and safety guidelines are currently being finalised by the FIA.

Klouczech has obviously found this site (not in his first language) and is rightly proud of the racing he is doing. I say 'Good on him'!

Polaris is interesting machine!
But it is much more offroad than kartcross

Our 3rd was in Hollabrunn (Austria) => Podium!

How can you needlessly damage your buggy, make a double fracture on your thumb and then finish on podium?

Fantastic!

I think that the angle-grinder was even more scary than the big jump!

No, I trust my fathers skills

Video of another race, full of crashes and dangerous situations.
What do you think about the incidents and who is responsible for them?

Some good racing - looks like a lot of fun. But as you say there were quite a lot of incidents too - really not sure what was going on when you were hit from behind (6:47ish). The move that ended up with you getting broken suspension looked like the other buggy turned in on you. I'm not sure how the green buggy ended up on top of yours but they both stood up pretty well to it!

Yeah, some drivers are crazy or doesnt have enough experiences with racing in general. + most times nobody punish the bad drivers.

Another rallycross race (with my bad start at finals)

Yeah, they are not the best. Dampers are really bad. They made a new version last year.

I tried to measure the speed and g-forces with GoPro 5
