Having raced in the s1 since 1987 I came away disgraced with what I saw at Whilton Mill.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing and so far this season it has been a highly eventful year with highs at PF and desperate lows at Rowrah for my Birel team.

I agree with other comments that it is so easy to blame officials and the camera's etc. The fact remains that the drivers are the only ones to blame. There seems to be no respect between them and more or less anything goes. The pressure to win at all costs and the pressure of what is being spent in relation to drivers results has created a cloak and daggers atmosphere both on and off the track.

The camera's in my opnion are not needed and just cause more confusion, in the end I could see camera's on all four sides of the kart to satisfy all possibilities ! they are not really workable, not unless we have a 6 day racing meeting or a BBC TV production crew.

Lets get back to basics, we are racing karts, simple but fantastic bits of kit. The concept is to learn to drive and race. Over the years I have seen some fantastic races with no contact. If someone is on your inside give the corner and race on. It is not acceptable to just ram in to the rear of another driver or run them off the track down the straights - this should not be tollerated by the drivers or the officials. With regards points on licences quite frankley if a driver is causing mayhem then we don't want them in our sport if they acculumlate points so be it - send them home.

Karting is my business, I am extremely fortunate to have turned my hobby into a profession - I genuinley care about our sport.

I was embarassed at Whilton S1 when a potential newcomer asked me few questions about starting kart racing. They commented that considering this was the British Championship and the supposed best drivers that they thought it looked rough and asked wasn't it a non contact sport or is it allowed !

We are all responsible for our sport.
