We are outside MSA, and as such escape the heavy hand of over regulation and are in full control of our sport. Yet, a few, unthinkingly, are threatening the very basis on which the class has been based for umpteen years.
Believers cannot understand that non-believers don't get it. They get it alright, they see a mess on the horizon, and aren't fooled by the almost unbelievably naive claims - from people that should know better - that this is a good idea. And they see it as a kick in the teeth for a very few people who see things objectively, and in the best interests of the class. Faster - puhleez. More equal - ditto. More cheaperer - again.
You dug your own hole with SP engines (blaming Cadet Dads is absurd), and have been suckered into the most bizarre solution imaginable - fragmenting grids to increase grids. It'll take years of pain before that happens.
Almost by definition of the way it's set up, the whole idea of control being passed to one engine supplier cannot work in a national context. The more this works (in your eyes) - ie the bigger it gets - the less it CAN work.
Don't understand ? - Dozens .... scores ... of engines going back for 'optimising of the equalisation' (!) ....... being dyno'd over a spread of a few days .........those with deepest pockets get it done more regularly ....... most people don't ......... yours isn't ready ....... I want mine back, I like it's delivery ......I'm always 15th I want another engine ...... it's you not the engine ..... no it isn't, yes it is .......... too late you've made your bed ....... they give you another one ........ sorry we haven't got one ready and so on. Need I go on ?
You might just as well just do hire kart racing.
This can only discourage newbies - good old British tinkerers - you must be mad.
