Go-Kart Race Results Adjusted: 'Nong Phayu' Disqualified in Championship Controversy
Following a protest regarding engine compliance, 'Nong Phayu' has been disqualified from the TrueVisions Championship 2026, with 'Nong McLaren' declared the winner of the third round.
The Royal Automobile Association of Thailand (RAAT) has officially adjusted the results of the Cadet-B class at the Super Kart Thailand Championship 2026. The decision follows a formal protest regarding the engine specifications of the go-kart driven by 'Nong Phayu', who had initially finished in first place.
According to the RAAT, an inspection revealed that the engine used in the vehicle did not adhere to the mandatory technical regulations, which require all karts in this specific class to utilize identical engine configurations. Consequently, the results were revised, and 'Nong McLaren' has been officially declared the winner of the third round of the competition.
For residents and followers of local motorsport, this incident highlights the strict enforcement of technical standards within the TrueVisions Championship series. Following the ruling, the DT Motorsport team issued a statement via their official Facebook page to clarify the status of their driver. The team confirmed that 'Nong Phayu' will not be participating in the upcoming Asia Pacific Motorsport Championship (APMC2026), scheduled to take place from October 23 to 25.
While the championship standings for the third round have been finalized, observers are awaiting further updates regarding the team's future participation in subsequent events. No further details regarding potential long-term sanctions or appeals have been released by the governing body at this time.
