Monoposto Racing Club is very pleased to announce that Cartek Automotive Electronics has agreed to award a new Trophy for the Best Prepared Monoposto Car in any class at each Monoposto Championship Meeting. The criteria for the Cartek Trophy will be more associated with preparation rather than purely appearance and will take into consideration a multitude of factors including hard work, ingenuity, safety, as well as cleanliness and overall appearance. It’s expected that these criteria will enable a variety of winners to be selected during the year, highlighting different approaches to achieving excellence in car preparation. Judging will be done by the Monoposto Eligibility Scrutineer and the Championship Co-ordinator. The award will be made on the first day of each meeting, giving the trophy-winning team the opportunity to showcase their work in the paddock.

In addition Cartek have offered a very attractive discount on their products to all Monoposto members.

Cartek Automotive Electronics Ltd manufacture a range of motorsport products but are most notable for producing very small, lightweight Solid State Battery Isolators. Developed specifically for motorsport applications this device is a major advance in the safety and reliability of race vehicles. This particular product has become the preferred choice in many categories of motorsport from club racers through to European FiA Rallycross and international GT racing.

Other products include the only motorsport LED Rain Light which meets the latest FiA specification and an Electronic Rain Light Switch which offers drivers the ability to quickly switch their LED rain light into a hazard warning flashing mode should they encounter a problem with their car and wish to warn drivers behind that they are stationary or moving slowly. This has been proven to help prevent rear end crashes.

Another recent safety product from Cartek is the Coolant Level Sensor which will alert drivers if they are loosing water from their coolant system, perhaps from a punctured radiator or loose hose, before overheating and engine damage occurs.
