What is TaG?

TaG (or sometimes TAG) stands for 'Touch-and-Go' - touch the start button and away you go!

It is a concept that has taken karting around the world by storm. Traditionally, karts have been direct-drive (ie, no clutch) and required a push start from the pit crew to get going. With a TaG engine, simply push the starter button and you're off!

TaG Australia promotes TaG racing in Australia. Currently, there are four engines eligible to race in the category (Biland SA-250, PRD Fireball, Parilla Leopard and Rotax MAX) and TaG Australia aims to provide performance parity to ensure karters have the opportuntiy to be competitive regardless of which engine they elect to race.

The class will evolve in it's early life as the rules are fine tuned to best suit the needs of the competitors. As such, the promoters of TaG reserve the right to alter the technical regulations to ensure driver safety and fairness of competition.

It is expected the TaG class will be the entry point for further TaG-style engines to be introduced to Australian karting (with the exception of the future 'Super' engines).
