Safety
We believe that safety and unsportsmanlike conduct are the two most pressing issues that need to be resolved as a matter of urgency.
Driver Collisions
The Risk Is Too High
Collisions and crashes are a major safety concern in karting. These incidents can cause serious injuries. There are a number of factors that can contribute to collisions, including driver error, track conditions, equipment failure and non-sporting conduct.
Bump Draft
Should Be Banned
Bump drafting is another unsportsmanlike practice that can lead to collisions. In bump drafting, two teammates push each other to gain an advantage. This can be dangerous, as it can cause the karts to lose control or unfair, limiting the dream of victory to a few teams with huge economic resources
Obsolate Solutions
Currently, the issue is being addressed with obsolete procedures and tools, which often causes disparities in judgment and creates unclear situations for both competitors and judges themselves.

Nose Cone Bumper
A inaccurate system that has often caused international competitions to be lost due to a technical problem and not due to actual foul play.

Push prohibition
This is unfortunately impossible to manage and extremely subjective if not done with objective tools.
Currently, this task is given to the officials who unfortunately cannot be 100% accurate, given the high number of participants.
The Future is coming: Kart Sentinel
We are confident that Kart Sentinel can help to make karting a safer and more enjoyable sport for all drivers involved. The system can help to prevent accidents and ensure that races are conducted fairly, and ensure that all drivers have the opportunity to compete fairly.
Accidents
Kart Sentinel can detect accidents in real time and send an alert to the race officials. This allows the race officials to intervene quickly and punish the drivers involved.
Unsportsmanlike conduct
Kart Sentinel can detect unsportsmanlike conduct, such as bump drafting. This allows the race officials to take action against drivers who behave improperly.
Accurate maintenance
Kart Sentinel can generate reports on the condition of the karts. These reports can be used by mechanics to identify potential problems and to ensure that the karts are properly maintained.
