The pooled engine system is an option for National championships that keep generally the same competitors for a fixed number of races. Obviously the engines need to very equal and sealed. And there is a cost involved, although almost certainly less than most people currently pay for good engines in national championships.

Then you can introduce series rules that make the system even fairer. Thus you might say that nobody has the same engine twice, that everyone has one or two 'jokers' during the year for an engine swap or that the first 3 get a different engine for the final.

Obviously, this would have benefits for the championship itself, but more importantly it would cut the head off the market for stupidly expensive engines filtering into the lower levels as well.

Every class where engines are supposed to be equal should also have a buy back scheme. It wouldn't work for the highest level, because money would still buy the best engines and it would just make it even more expensive to keep competitive.

But at other levels retail+50% would mean nobody could complain about losing money even on a 'carefully built' engine. But it would very effectively cap prices.

IMO the implementation of these two systems would solve many of the financial problems in UK karting.
