Here's an idea! How about scrapping Rotax all together.

It was never intended to be a competition engine, it is designed as a corporate motor. And the whole seal reducing costs idea is rubbish and the tyres are inconsistent (a real understatement).

TKM in my opinion should have been given more support by the MSA. Bringing in the TAG engine and the CIK chassis has helped, but not enough to dethrone Rotax.

The CIK's decision to replace FA/ICA/JICA with KF1/KF2/KF3 was a bad one. In a bid to reduce costs, they've actually managed to increase them!!

What should happen? Go back to the good old days. If Rotax is going to remain, get rid of the seal, blueprint the engines and pick some decent bloody tyres. Get rid of KF and bring back the good old 100's. Stop buggering about with age limits, and drop this stupid bloody Super Cadet class. The MSA should stop trying to buck up their own bank balance by bringing in new homologated classes and start jumping up and down on the shocking driving standards that have blighted British karting for far too long now.

Watch GP2 / GP3 and other Junior Formulae. Want to know where that driving standards starts (if you don't already know)? Go down to the local club or Super 1 round. Watch the starts. See how many warnings / black flags are dished out. None right? Thought so!
