Following on from the thread above, which is full:

A lot of money indeed, but:
1) I feel I get what I’ve paid for
2) it’s relative: a brand new, bells & whistles kart outfit around the Ł9k mark would still be significantly less than many of the fancier motorbikes. Also look at BRP’s far more important business – Rotax is fringe to them – of Sea-Doos, which are around €13-15k.
All of the above are ‘Sunday toys’ but many more people buy the latter.
So there’s a big market for expensive motorised toys, but only a fraction of the spend goes to karting. Not all karting has to be ‘cheap’, or be desperate to give that appearance (we know it’s mostly a falsehood anyway). Conversely, there is clearly a market for karting equipment that’s ‘as good as it gets’.

As for F6 and Aixro, that’s a non-starter: F6 is MSA, and …. Besides, I’m sure the existing F6 folk wouldn’t want to make time to fit in another class with heats and finals to run in a busy single day. Plus our current structure – of visiting a variety of tracks around the country as well as on the continent (this October) – seems to be popular among Aixro owners. We have respectable grids with this set-up: 15 yesterday was a touch disappointing, but we’ll get more.
