Formula A 100cc Racing from Australia; Greatest On-Track Spin Ever!

The 1996 Oceania Kart Championship race at Oran Park Raceway had it all! A confusing start, a 360 spin by the 2nd place driver (who continued on as if nothing happened), a few angry aussie kart racers and an awesome track all combined for some fabulous 100cc racing that showed off both the skill required to pilot a 100cc machine to victory and the raw power that these 100cc machines possess. Check out the coverage below:

For the crazy spin, skip to 6:50 (its worth it!)

F100 FJ1 Junior Class Tire Announcement

Due to recent limited availability of new Bridgestone YLC 6.0 width rear tires, The Formula 100 Karting Series will allow the use of 7.10 width Bridgestone YLC rear tires in its FJ1 class. 7.10 width rear tires were already legal for use in the non-points FJ2 class. This means that 7.10 width rear tires are now legal for both F100 Junior classes.

As soon as availability of new Bridgestone YLC 6.0 width rear tires increases, F100 will revisit this issue and make a more permanent determination. For now, 7.10 width rear tires are legal for both FJ1 and FJ2.

The spec tire for FJ1 remains unchanged (Bridgestone YLC). FJ2 will continue to run under the "approved open tire" rule. Please see the 2015 F100 Rule Supplement for more information.
