Here's an interesting one:

Currently about 80% of karters in this country use a chassis from Italy (this includes some "British" makes who actually get the likes of Parolin or Wildkart to weld their frames together), the 2 most popular engines are Rotax and X30 which from Austria and Italy respectively, and Mojo and Vega tyres are from Germany and Italy respectively.

You also have other classes like Easykart which is all Birel and/or Vega. and OK which is Vortex only currently but the rules will be opened up eventually and Italian engine makes will dominate like in KF.

Giving that the vast majority of financial experts are saying a sudden economic downturn might be experienced in the event of Brexit (up to you to decide how long this downturn will last), what will happen to prices of karts, engines and spares in karting? Or will everyone just move to TKM? ;-)

Discuss

p.s. guaranteed Brexit would've already been discussed here if itpro was still a regular.
