Diseño y construcción de un kartcroos con la normativa FIA, para participar en eventos automovilísticos en la categoría trepada de montaña

Abstract

INTECMOTORS SA. is looking for opportunities to participate in motorsport events in the mountain climbing category, however, it does not have a kartcross vehicle with sporting characteristics for such events. Therefore, the objective of this project was to design and build a kartcross with FIA regulations, to participate in motorsport events in the mountain climbing category. The methodology used was qualitative-quantitative, descriptive and documentary; using different types of bibliographic sources, scientific articles, books, reports and web pages. It was possible to obtain relevant information to create the design and construction of the kartcross, through the schematization of the chassis with the assistance of a software (CAD), and applying finite elements (FEA), the design and construction of the kartcross was validated. Likewise, the dimensions for the prototype, materials, types of profiles, welding process, engine power, type of suspension and steering system according to the FIA regulations were established. guaranteeing the integrity of the driver in the event of any eventuality during an automobile competition. It was possible to obtain a kartcross with a tubular chassis of 2,5 inches by 2mm thick, with a GSX750 750 cc 4-stroke engine with a 6-speed sequential transmission, with independent suspension on all four wheels and a front and rear disc brake system perfectly functional and in accordance with the FIA's regulations.
