Formula 100 Karting Series Race #1 June 30th at Grange Motor Circuit

The Formula 100 Karting Summer Series is set to kick off on June 30^th at Grange Motor Circuit in Apple Valley, CA. After 2 demonstration races at Apex Karting Center in Perris, CA that saw a strong turnout the Formula 100 Karting Series is expecting high participation levels at the June 30^th Grange race.

The Formula 100 Karting Series is designed to provide an inexpensive place to race for karters of all experience levels. With 3 senior classes split by experience levels that combine the common KT-100 and KPV/HPV engine, the Formula 100 Karting Series is designed to bring racers, both new and experienced, out to the track in order to increase karting participation levels across all clubs and series. The series will serve as both an introduction to karting for new racers and also as a competitive and inexpensive racing environment for experienced racers in addition to the already established clubs and series.

For brand new karters without their own karts the Formula 100 Karting Series is proud to offer F100 Race Kart Rentals. All karts are 100% legal ready to run racing karts. All karts are currently used by their owners for racing or practice days and are offered at affordable prices in order to introduce new karters to the sport and develop the sport as a whole.

The Formula 100 Karting Series is planning a 5 race Summer Series with 1 drop that will operate from June to October. Race dates are being planned for July, August, September and October and the final race dates will be available soon.

ICA Kart Racing is Awesome

Check out these 100cc karts. This footage is from the now defunct Stars of Tomorrow karting series. The class is known as Intercontinental A or ICA. 

For those of you who are thinking about purchasing a shifter kart or a TAG kart, consider an ICA powered kart. They have more horsepower than TAG karts and because of their simplicity and minimal weight they are as fast or faster than a 125cc shifter kart. They are monsters, and all from 100cc's. Plus, because there is nowhere to race them, they are dirt cheap to buy, albeit a little hard to find. They are also direct drive which is considered by many to be the purest form of karting. Many current and former Formula 1 racers have raced ICA or Junior ICA during their karting careers. 

The Formula 100 Karting Series is currently working on introducing a new class, 100cc Senior Pro, that will utilize the ICA engine package along with a spec gear ratio in order to increase reliability and competition among drivers. Keep your eye on their website for more updates on this at http://www.f100karters.com/. Of course in order to race in 100cc Senior Pro drivers will need to possess the appropriate F100 license grade. A Yamaha KT-100 or KPV/HPV engine is a great way to start out in karting and is a perfect stepping stone to a class like 100cc Senior Pro or any other top level karting class.
