Sunny Racing Club is a Zhuhai, China based low-cost karting club. It uses Sunny Kart chassis and drivers are restricted to the use of a single type of engine and tyre.

History
Sunny Racing Club was establised in 2011 by the China based kart manufacturer, Sunny Kart. The company owner Joseph Yuen started the club 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 Sunny Kart chassis were allowed, along with a 100cc 2-stroke Yamaha engine and hard compound tyres by Sava.

Racing
Sunny Racing Club acquired a reputation for close, competitive racing and cited as a purer form of kart racing owing to the relative simplicity of the racing and the equal playing field.

Chassis
Sunny Kart chassis were used for the club race. Sunny Kart was created by Joesph Yuen, who has started karting in the late 70's. The company has developed two models, MONZA for adults and LEMANS for 11-16 years old. The chassis were notably praised for the superior handling with dry tyres in wet conditions.

Engine
The club uses a self start, 100cc 2-stroke Yamaha engine. In order to maintain a standard engine performance and to keep costs down, the engines were owned by the club and were rented to the drivers on a daily basis. The engine can pull up to around 110kph @ 14,000rpm.

Tyres
Sava hard compound tyres have been used by the club. The club restricts the use to a single 'dry' tyre for the race, with the idea of creating a level performance level and removing the costs of requiring new tyres for each race weekend. The Sunny Kart chassis acquired a reputation for its superior handling on dry tyres in wet conditions.
