We did exactly the same thing, opting for minimax.

I looked at X30 but was advised by a well known engine builder to budget approx Ł100 per hour with an X30. Ive since spoken to others who have laughed at that an said its more like Ł200 to Ł300 which is way beyond what I'm prepared to spend!

I wonder if this is a reason why TKM has made a bit of a comeback at superone?

The trouble with any engine class, the moment the "big" Teams get involved the costs will spiral as they are under pressure to get results and keep a full awning. Its no point pretending that all X30 engines will remain equal as the teams will be continually testing and testing different engines until they have the best ones.

I know Rotax has its faults and it will have never pleased everyone but its the closest thing plug and play racing. Rebuilds once a season and fantastic reliability and I dont have to shove it down the dummy grid to start it. This suits us and our budget.
