It depends what you think "Masters" is meant to convey. Many clubs set the age at which one becomes a Master at 35, and the Rotax Max Challenge international competition sets it at 32

As far as I can work out, Super 1 National SKF champion 2010 Mark Litchfield is 30.

So Masters get there by age, not skill or lack of it. In Formula Blue, where everyone races in the same race rather than separated into lights and heavies, there are "Veterans", those who are over 50, and some of them challenge for National numbers (3 in top 10). As for fatties, there are three topweight drivers (drivers over 80kg) also with top 10 National numbers.

At Dunkeswell, the club number 2 in Rotax Max, Stew Baker, is both old enough to be a Master and heavy enough to be a 177 and quick enough to compete against young Maxes.
