League Rules
Race hard, race fairly, and make sure everyone still wants to share a track with you next race.
Last updated August 2026Have fun. Leave racing room. Do not gain from contact. Listen to the venue staff. If something goes wrong, cool down first and discuss it afterwards.
Spirit of the league
Why we are here
Kartastrophe Cup is a friendly, non-profit championship. We care about competition, but nobody is racing for a Formula 1 contract. Respect and good judgement matter more than exploiting a gap in the wording.
- Have fun: that is the entire point.
- Race people as you want to be raced: firm and competitive, never reckless.
- No abusive, discriminatory or threatening behaviour: on track, in the paddock or in league channels.
Drivers & substitutes
Who is on the grid
- Substitutes can stand in: if a registered driver cannot make a round, someone else may take the wheel for it.
- Venue requirements still apply: anything MOBIKART needs from a driver on the night — briefing, safety checks, kart allocation — is theirs to run.
General racing rules
A few simple standards
- Leave racing room: an overtake should be completed by skill and judgement, never by leaning on the other kart.
- Blue flags: when you are being lapped, stay predictable and make it easy for the faster kart to pass.
- No rule covers it? Use common sense: MOBIKART's venue rules and general racing etiquette apply where nothing here does.
The point is not to legislate every move, but that everyone can share a track and still enjoy racing.
Incidents & protests
Cool heads after the flag
- Do not argue with drivers or venue staff.
- Protests must be submitted through the league's Telegram channel within 24 hours of the event.
- The organiser may review an incident without a protest where safety or serious misconduct is involved.
- When suitable evidence can be provided, penalty decisions will be made by an external, non-biased body outside of Germany.
- Penalties will be applied based on severity of offense.
Leniency may be granted where an infringement is harmless and genuinely funny. This exception becomes dramatically less likely if you argue that your infringement was funny.
