I think there needs to be a distinction between the championships. You can have national championships but there needs to be a British Championship. But it needs to be a 'proper' british championship that travels around the whole country, something we don't have at the moment.

NKRA and NKF are the same just splitting the country in half to keep it more local and arnt they formula blue dealers?
The universities champs is with club100 as far as i am aware so is a corporate championship.
NATSKA is definately a good thing, cheap, national, and getting the younger driver involved so hopefully they will want to carry on after leaving school.

"That is patently not true, because people are still introducing new classes. They do that because they are not satisfied with the classes that there are, or perhaps in the way that they are run"

Problem is new classes are nearly always introduced by dealers to line their own pockets without worrying about the competitors.
My reservations about formula blue for instance is in the restrictors. Ok your heavy so were going to give you more power! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Impose a sensible weight limit and don't encourage overweight people to compete without doing something about their health issues!

"Besides, I notice that your 100 National and Formula Libre have not left an empty niche but have been replaced by TKM Extreme, Formula Blue and Rotax"

KF needs a 100 National to allow people to compete on a budget.

What we need is a cost effective British championship. It costs nearly as much in entry fee's for super 1 as it does to race cars these days. And maybe a limit on engines. There is already a limit on chassis and engines per meeting but not over a season.
If you were limited to 4 fresh engines over the 7 rounds for KF would this make a difference? Thats 2 engines and 2 full rebuilds if your on a budget, about Ł5,000 for the full year done, sorted. One chassis at Ł2,500 and 7 sets of tyres at Ł150 a set
Thats a budget of Ł8,550 plus entry and damage to compete in the top class in the UK, and thats buying new.
You will never stop people spending on driver coaching and testing etc but if you can balance the cost of the kit its a start.

MSA does need to be more transparent about its class structure etc aswell, and the benifits of running msa. But you do have to draw a line between non-msa racing, and non msa racing run by msa officials and former msa competitors. The later is not neccessarily a bad option, the first needs to be stamped out.
