There are three main websites in the UK that carry results, and some more for regional and for international results. Timing is carried out by a transponder fixed to the rear of the kart seat, which sends a signal to a loop buried in the track at the start/ finish line, plus often two or more additional loops spread round the track to give ‘sector times’. There are two types of transponder used, the Mylaps (AMB) and the TAG-Heuer.
There are several timing and lap scoring applications used on the computer results systems as follows:
- SuperSports – the original system used by nearly all kart clubs, but now often superseded by later systems. It uses the Mylaps transponder.
- Apex software marketed in the UK by TAG-Heuer to use with their transponders (the same application can also be used with Mylaps transponders, but not in the UK)
- Alpha Timing which can use either the Mylaps transponders or the TAG-Heuer transponders which has the majority use now
The three main results websites are as follows and club listing below:
UK Karting Results – accepts the SuperSports and the TAG-Heuer UK, probably obsolete
TAG Heuer UK – developed for the UK circuits using that transponder and the Apex application
Alpha Timing – developed for those using that software
The other sites that might have the results you seek are: Mylaps own site, and the CIK-FIA for their international events. And most Scottish kart race results can also be found here.
