Looking at the chassis drawings, can you tell if they correspond to the kart models that we indicate to you?

At first glance, kart’s frames all look the same. Wrong! Chassis change shape depending on the type of tires being used on the track, the hardness of the material they are made of and the category for which they were intended. Can a true kart enthusiast recognize a chassis from its drawing? TKART launches the challenge with six quizzes on the following chassis: Birel Torsion, CRG Black Mirror, DR S97, Kart Republic KR3, Kosmic Mercury S and the Tecno S30. Given the difficulty of this test, we are going to provide a bit of help not to miss the first answer: "The chassis did not respond in the same way on curves to the right and those to the left." Ready to put yourself to the test?

IS THIS THE BIREL TORSION CHASSIS?

A little tip so as not to get it wrong...
Know that the chassis shown in the drawing above did not respond in the same way on curves to the right and those to the left. Try to remember if the Birel Torsion had this characteristic and…Answer!
true

Well done!
Wrong!
The chassis in the drawing is not the Birel Torsion but the Pulsar, a chassis manufactured by Haase Kart and was approved in 1997. It features an unconventional front end design as explained in the First analysis article we dedicated to it. The most interesting part of the frame is the crossing of the longerons in front of the fuel tank where the left longeron passes under the right one. The production of the chassis generated several difficulties, especially when seen in light of the machinery available at the time, which was undoubtedly less technological than the machinery available today. The tubes of the Pulsar are 32mm in diameter, except for the two tubes which join the longerons in the front, having diameters of 28, 30 and 32mm, depending on the track where the chassis was used.
IS THIS THE CRG BLACK MIRROR CHASSIS?

The frame shown above has recently won the WSK Super Master Series in the MINI category for three consecutive years. It is a noteworthy clue to understand whether this is the Black Mirror or not.

The chassis to which the drawing refers to is not the CRG Black Mirror, but the 2020 Parolin Opportunity, which you can read about in the Under exam signed by TKART. It is one of the most appreciated and successful chassis in the MINI category for its ability to adapt to any conditions of the surfaces and grip on different tracks. With regard to the chassis design, it is worth noting the double bend on the longerons at the height of the fuel tank, a characteristic which was already present in the previous CSAI homologation. The welding of the frame is performed by robots through an automated process designed by Parolin Racing Kart to increase the quality of its products.
