New high-speed fences at SLOVAK KARTING CENTER significantly increase the overall track safety
Orechová Potôň, Slovakia, June 27, 2024 – Since its opening in 2019, the SLOVAK KARTING CENTER has registered a significant increase in track activity demand for motorcycle categories such as Pitbike, Senior GP, GP2 Junior GP, and PW50. To comply with safety requirements and challenging demands of new series, new high-speed fences have been installed around the track.
The 1272m-long track complies with the CIK-FIA licence. However, to enhance and improve the safety of riders, track marshals, and other participants, specifically in turn 2 and turn 7, newly installed high-speed fences reduce the impact and possible injuries to riders as well as damages to motorbikes or go-karts.
The fences in total length of 55m consist of mesh metal steel cables, galvanized fence tubes and conveyor belts, all in full compliance with FIA regulations.
