See my post in the thread above regarding engines. For seniors the problem is probably much smaller, it's probably mostly just the perception and mostly beyond my experience. But for Cadets and Juniors the problem is much greater. The difference between a good or bad engine in the Cadet type series I'm involved with in France can be as much as 3 seconds and in the Junior classes carbs are available for hire at €700 a weekend with reputedly 7/10ths in them. As mentioned though French karting is much further down the road towards self destruction because of this and similar problems in other classes. UK karting should learn from this.

For my own part, I saw fairly early that I could never afford to compete for long at a high level. So we went all out for the experience of a lifetime, took a year off work and spent the whole time living and breathing karting, learned to do all my own engines and ended up doing them for many of the rest of the field as well(still do) and came within a knats of being overall French champion (we were robbed, literally). Ended up with more trophies than you could shake a stick at and some good memories for me and the kids. However I've also seen the absolute worst, from race fixing to corruption, racism and child abuse. I hasten to add that 90% of this was not in the UK, but in my opinion things are getting worse not better.
