I wonder what bad news is in store regarding the number of MSA Kart licence holders for next year ?
A quick snout through the available MSA annual reports show the following for (these) three licence figures
Year . Kart . Race .. Rally
2000 . 5414 .. 8872 . 4442 2001 . 5535 .. 8872 .. 4194 2002 . 5704 .. 9221 . 10129 2003 . 5672 .. 9228 .. 9994 2004 . 5419 .. 9437 . 10071 2005 . 5281 .. 9696 .. 9881 2006 . 5172 .. 9808 .. 9706 2007 . 4690 .. 9920 .. 9119 2008 . 4826 . 10313 .. 8993 2009 . 4750 . 10046 .. 8392 2010 . 4609 . 10228 .. 7919 2011 . 4520 . 10343 .. 7461 2012 . 4253 . 10499 .. 7331
Many ways to look at these data, but for me Kart & Rally have both dropped by 25% since the peak 10 years before.
No wonder the MSA is freezing fees for some licenses for 2015. The 2015 forecast must be bad.
As the current economic recession is only a "recent" influence, there was already a decline underway.
Does anyone have any pre-2002 and/or any 2013 & 2014 stats so we can build a bigger picture ?.
