Sealed engines are good for the karting retailers, engine builders and teams who can provide engines with provanence for those with big fat wallets and a win at all costs attitude.

Ironically at the other end of the spectrum they are also good for the novices and clubies, who want a reasonably level playing field and don't want to get involved in engine work.

The downside is for everyone else, who when they develop into good drivers cannot afford to compete at the sharp end.

The answer is very simple, but unfortunately commercially unappealing.

Sealed engines combined with a national engine pool that can be used/hired for high level competion, whether that be National championships or important club meetings.

Of course the leap of faith required is that the karting business has to start thinking in terms of finding the best drivers rather than the richest dads.

Totally unsealed cadet engines, especially if fiching is allowed, is the path to destruction of a class in my opinion.
