On behalf of Tal-Ko I have great pleasure in welcoming you back to Kimbolton circuit – the 

birthplace and home of this famous karting event! 

As ever we have our special format which puts the emphasis on giving you the driver, the 

maximum amount of track time. It also gives a true opportunity for everyone from a novice 

through to the most experienced driver, to prove their expertise. 

To mount such an occasion takes tremendous effort and dedication by the organising team and 

we pass on our heartfelt thanks to all the team at Hunts Kart Club who make such a real effort to 

maximise the turnout of the circuit – complete this time with many revisions in format since our 

last festival here including track resurfacing and a new style grid. 

And of course we must also say a very big thank-you to Maxxis for their continued major support 

of the event and for supplying us all with some great tyres. 

Finally I’d like to say a personal thank you to each and every one of you competing for making 

the Festival the karting event of the year. I know many of you have travelled a great distance to 

be here. Have some great racing and watch out for yourself on TV. 

Good racing, best of luck…and enjoy your weekend.

Tal-Ko History 


TKM owner and manufacturer, Tal-Ko Racing, has a long history within the karting world and numerous 

UK and International championship titles to its credit. 

Originally started in 1958 by Bernie Turney, the company has a fine reputation as an importer of quality 

karts and engines, while more recently being the only UK manufacturer of kart racing engines sold 

under the TKM brand name for 2 & 4 stroke classes. 

Over the years literally thousands of drivers have relied and won on TKM equipment including F1 

driver David Coulthard and World Champion Jenson Button, who was a Junior S1 title-holder in the TKM 

2-stroke class. Other star drivers like Anthony Davidson, Tom Onslow-Cole, Colin Turkington, Gary Paffett 

and Nathan Freke, have more recently graduated from the Formula TKM classes. 

Since the death of his father in 1982, the company has been run by Alan Turney, himself a former 

top British kart racer and once team-mate to Nigel Mansell in the UK squad. Alan is an engine expert 

whose skills have fine tuned engines winning World Championship and British Grand Prix titles. 

The TKM BT82 engine used for the Formula TKM 2-stroke classes derived its name from Bernie Turney 

as a memorial – BT (Bernie Turney) and 82 – the year he died. The engine was first used in the USA 

where it become the dominant force within their categories and took their World Endurance titles. 

It was introduced into this country first of all under the title of the 100UK class in 1990. Later the class 

became known as Formula TKM. 

The TKM K4S 4-stroke engine was introduced in 2000 and was the world’s first 4-stroke engine 

designed and developed specifically for kart racing. It is used as far away as Canada and Japan. 

In the past few weeks TKM has gained another engine, with its takeover of the WTP 80cc water-cooled 

engine – an ultra-modern engine featuring all the latest features coupled with low noise and long life. 

Plans are being finalised for the introduction of this engine on a world-wide basis. 

So 54 years on from its creation Tal-Ko remains a significant player in karting with its engines used in 

many markets around the world, and in the UK with its commitment to providing the best value racing 

available through Formula TKM.

➢ Engine starting bay sited next to parc ferme can be used to start engines prior to racing. Engines must not be

availability. 

Friday will be sessioned testing all day starting at 10am. Only competitors that have entered the 

Festival are permitted to practice. 

Saturday will start with an official practice session and then move onto timed qualifying with 

the order of times used to set the grid positions for all heats. No weather problems because the 

positions/times will be based on order within your qualifying heat. 

Heat results will determine your grid position for the pre-final. There will be at least three heats 

for all classes – in some categories there may be more depending on numbers. 

In the large classes, after the heats, the top 34 from heats go into the Elite pre-final. The next 30 

into the Festival Cup pre-final. 

If necessary there will be B finals and C finals with the top 4 going through each time. 

Results from the pre-finals will be used to set the grids for the finals. 



Two & Four Stroke 

Drivers may compete in 2 and 4 stroke categories, though we cannot make any guarantees 

over the gap between the races. You cannot compete in more than one 2 or 4 stroke class. The 

categories are Junior 2 and 4 stroke, Senior 2 and 4 stroke. 

Clubman, Heavies, Vets 

We are updating the classes laid out in our ‘Classic’ class to try to ensure that everyone gets to 

race in the most competitive field available. 

Clubman 

This class will run in line with the Clubman class being run at Shenington and Rissington with a 

couple of minor changes which are underlined. This means: 

• No karts designed with the use of removable torsion bars are permitted. Karts are not 

required to have the original TKM sequential plate in place (unless using old style diagonal 

pod bars as per KRYB D3.3.13) but must conform to the original TKM homologation which 

will be checked with the original homologation fiche. 

• Number plate white with black numbers 

• 30mm rear axle 

• Sprocket is free 

• No TAG engines allowed 

• Direct drive or clutch 

• Ackerman steering permitted. Stub axles free. Ride height can be adjusted. 

• Data logging not permitted except a rev counter with a lap timing facility only. 

• CNC cylinders not permitted 

• Minimum weight 152kg with driver minimum weight of 68kg or 146kg with a blue 

restrictor. 

• Competitors must use new control tyres. 

Masters Class – for Heavies and Vets 

These will run to normal TKM Extreme regulations within what we are calling the Masters class. 

This is subject to the Classic age/weight regulation of 165 minimum weight for kart and driver. 

Driver to be either 35 years old, or a minimum weight in race suit etc of 80kg. 

Dependent on numbers we hope to run the Clubman and Masters classes separately to the 

Extremes for heats and finals. At minimum we plan to run the finals separate.
