How are race numbers assigned?
Race numbers are assigned in the order in which completed registrations are formally confirmed, from number 1 to number 50.

Race Format and Karts
Is the race run for 24 consecutive hours?
Yes. The race lasts exactly 24 hours, from 14:00 on Friday to 14:00 on Saturday, and is divided into three eight-hour heats. At the end of the eighth and sixteenth hours the karts stop and are lined up on the grid according to the standings at that moment; the time needed for each restart, about twenty minutes, is part of the 24 hours.
How is the final race result calculated?
Each team’s best two heat results count towards the final sporting classification. Its weakest heat result is discarded.
Do laps from the discarded heat count for charity?
Yes. Every completed lap across all three heats counts towards the team’s charitable donation.
What karts are used?
Teams use identical KF1 TATANKA karts powered by Honda GX390 four-stroke 390 cc 13 HP engines.
Are the karts drawn by lot?
No. One kart is allocated to each team and remains with that team throughout all three heats.
