The purpose of the Superkarts! USA Licensing Program is to provide a standardized ladder of driver development within the organization. The following document details each license level, its requirements and the classes that are eligible to the holder of each respective license.
License Levels

A LICENSE
The A License is reserved for SKUSA’s most accomplished drivers. This license is required for any driver wishing to compete in the S1 category. Competitors will be required to com- plete an application form that will include an area where the driver will present results, perfor- mance highlights and a career overview, which the SKUSA staff will use to determine license eligibility. Only drivers with an A license are permitted in S1. KZ drivers require an A or B license.
Required for: S1 and KZ

The B License is the primary license for all experienced adult drivers in Superkarts! USA. To be eligible for a B license, one must have at least two years of prior experience in the sport.
