Ok........ three possible scenarios (errrrrr..... 'scenaria'):-

1) The 'new motor' is SLOWER than the old at ALL circuits

2) The new ones are FASTER than the old at SOME or ALL circuits

3) The power output is UTTERLY IDENTICAL and there is NO apparent advantage on ANY tracks to either types of motor.

Ask yourselves THREE questions about each scenario:

a) Who and how many people would buy the NEW motors in THIS case?
b) Who would KEEP their old motors?
c) What's the probability of this scenario occuring?

1a = newbies only and thus very few
1b = most people
1c = over 50%

2a = all the QUICK drivers would need AT LEAST one of the newer motors or they will be THRASHED at all or SOME circuits by those OTHER QUICK drivers who HAVE bought one
2b = If the new motor is quicker at EVERY circuit, then the answer is NOBODY, the old motor would be OBSOLETE. If it's only quicker at SOME circuits than MANY people will keep them..... but be SERIUOSLY P****D off that they can't afford the NEW motor for OTHER circuits. Anybody with an older motor who ONLY races at a track where their motor is now 'disadvantaged' will HAVE to buy a new motor..... or more likely.... LEAVE TKM because the extra costs of the running the new motor or needing to maintain BOTH types of motor will take TKM up to 'Rotax Cost Levels'!
2c = over 49%

3a = newbies only
3b = everybody
3c = less than 1% probability

It's a TOUGH one!
