With FKS receiving a huge amount of criticism for last year, I thought Super 1 would benefit hugely!! However, with what I consider to be a frankly astonishing faux-pas, they've probably single-handedly priced out a good 25% of their market!!
From what I have read here, the price hike basically covers TV Coverage and onboard cameras. Why can't they just have a handful of cameras and dish them out randomly to the competitors, rather than making all of them run one (thats my understanding of it anyway). Will the drivers be allowed to keep the camera?! If not, what a rip!!!
As for TV Coverage, great, karting needs more TV airtime. Justifiable in my opinion. However, without being in the loop, if they've just hiked the price up without consulting the competitors to find out if they actually were prepared to pay extra for the priveledge, they've made a massive cockup!!
Bad move Super 1, I think they'll regret that one!!!
