Ottawa SportsCar Club Karting

 

The Ottawa SportsCar Club is pleased to welcome new karting members.

At the regional level, there will be many changes in the future. Karting in Ontario had been regulated by ASN Canada FIA. With their resignation in December 2019, the intention is to move the organization to CASC-OR. This will take time to work through the paperwork, including updating the TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority, which covers amusement facilities) laws in Ontario.

CASC-OR will have a karting division, similar to the Road Racing, Ice Racing, Autocross and Time Attack. There will be a CASC-OR Karting Director to administrate the discipline and a set of regulations. CASC-OR will also be issuing Regional Karting licenses. A CASC-OR regional kart license will be accepted in any region in Canada, allowing local Ottawa karters to compete in either Ontario or Quebec regional karting series. There will be an additional cost for the regional licence.

Until such time as CASC-OR is able to issue licenses, OSCC will issue club karting licenses. The club kart licenses will be recognized by Le Circuit Quyon for their Ottawa Gatineau Karting Championship.

Paul Swinwood, Director, has graciously stepped up to be the club Karting representative.

When CASC-OR is ready, our members can apply and pay for their regional license through the regional licensing system.
