Classing is as easy as 1 – 2 – 3
1. F100 offers
several types of classes. Some class names are self-explanatory, such as
LO206 Senior, while others, such as the Formula, or “F” designated classes, are
not as self-explanatory. The “F” designated classes represent the traditional
F100 classes. These classes combine
different engine packages into one equal and competitive racing class. Due to
their use of many different engine packages in one equal and competitive class,
the standard spec class naming strategy of utilizing the engine name to
designate the class was not appropriate and the “F” designation was created as
way to label and designate these classes. The engine packages utilized in these
classes depends on the age group, but as an example FK1 Masters combines KPV3,
KPV4, Formula Y and KT100 pipe into one class. Please see the class structure
for specific information about individual classes.
2. In the “F”
designated classes, the second letter is the age indicator. C is for Cadet,
ages 8 to 12. J is for Junior, ages 11 to 15. K is for Senior, reminiscent of
the old Formula K 135cc class. Senior classes are for ages 15+. Within the K
classes there are also Masters classes, which are for ages 30+ or drivers 15+
who weigh over 200 lbs with their racing gear on race day, and Grand Masters
classes, which are for ages 50+. Other classes, such as the LO206 classes, have
age designated by the group name attached, e.g. LO206 Senior.
3. The first number
represents the license level, Level 1 or Level 2. Level 2 classes are for
less experienced racers or racers who just want to have fun without ascending
to a Level 1 class. Level 2 licenses are automatically awarded. Level 2 classes
are designed to be as inclusive as possible, while still providing equal
competition for all racers. Level 1 classes are for more experienced racers who
wish to race with top-level competition. Level 1 classes provide some of the
best competition anywhere!
