... Isn't that precisely what they've done?

By making it single chassis, single engine & tightly restricted they been able to control costs i.e. They haven't had to pass on the development costs of a more highly tuned, stressed package, every season to the customer because they don't have to compete with x number of other chassis and engine builders.

This is what goes wrong budget classes people quite naturally don't play the game, whether chassis, engine, tyres, drivers budgets, everyone goes down the money route to find a perceived edge then it gets out of hand and the class kills itself. At the same as a result you start to get splinters of similar one make-ish champs that confuse the customer base.

And precisely because of that, it may not be the purists idea of the ultimate "drivers championship" but the truth is more it is the ultimate drivers champ in so much as you can't throwaway chassis every round or so because it's been built so light or designed for the wet or dry or fast or slower tracks, or spend big bucks on special engines. At the same time easykart won't appeal to a good number of drivers precisely because you can't throw money at and buy an advantage and they'll slate it for not being a true karting champ. If anything has a future in karting in the uk, in the current economic climate, ek does. Controlled costs, driver the only variable the true test of talent... IMHO. Of course it is a business so competitors will slate it.

200 entries, that'll do nicely, if that's accurate, voting with their feet. They never say how many are sold just the next batch is already sold out.
