So, we have had MK1 and MK2 nose cone blocks and MK1 and MK2 bumper bars. A total of 4 revisions to get this system correct and it appears there COULD still be issues! A new rule for 2017 (March onwards) states that there must be at least a 27mm gap between the chrome front bars (Upper and Lower) and the plastic fairing (Nosecone). It appears from early adopters that an area on OTK chassis, with M6 style bodywork, are very close to the limit. If the nosecone were to move left or right, it would be classed as illegal. Here is the actual rule: Facebook User, Max Tyler noted that one area of the OTK M6 nosecone is VERY close to the 27mm limit and any sideways movement could cause one side to be under 27mm. We have highlighted the area concerned: Image courtesy of Max Tyler. This seems to be an issue on the OTK karts as the bodywork follows the contours of the bars quite closely. OTK have released new bars (upper and lower) for 2017 to meet the new regulations set out by the CIK. It could be that the new bars have actually introduced this problem and that OTK may now have to release a new M6 nose cone to cure this problem. We will update you on the progress when we find out what's happening! Will it ever end?!?
