It uses 100cc 115cc 2 stroke TKM engines and drivers are restricted to the use of single type of tyre. A second class, called TKM 4 Stroke, run on performance oriented 200cc 4 stroke engines was introduced into the category in the early 2000s. History The TKM karting class was created in 1989 by the British based kart manufacturer, Tal Ko. The company owner Alan Turney started the class with the ambition of keeping the large costs of kart racing down while maintaining a level of competitive and equal racing. To maintain the lower prices, only British registered homologated chassis were allowed, along with a Tal Ko designed engine and hard compound tyres by Maxxis . The original uptake of the class was successful and with the lower costs involved, the class soared in popularity through the 90s, becoming the UK s most popular karting formula. The TKM Festivals of the late nineties saw over 100 entrants in both senior and junior classes and from this boom the class boasts several current Formula 1 drivers amongst its former racers. ref http www.abkc.org.uk SuperOneWinnersPast.pdf ref However, since the rise of the Rotax Max formula in the UK from the early 2000s and the impact of the recession grid sizes have dropped dramatically.

It was first held in 1960 in Queensland. Controversy over Animal Welfare Controversy currently surrounds the rodeo industry in Australia http www.norodeo.org . As the APRA is a self regulating body, concerns have been raised by animal welfare groups and the Australian Veterinary Association regarding the ethical treatment of animals used in rodeo events. These concerns include the lack of animal welfare policing at events and the non mandatory attendance of veterinary professionals. Cattle prods and shocking devices have been seen to be used gratuitously despite this practice being in opposition to the APRA code. Further, psychologists have expressed concerns over the appropriateness of events which demonstrate the sanctioned tormenting of animals for entertainment purposes.
