Suppose you have 20 karts on the grid.

The race ends - there is "interest" in the fastest qualifier, fastest race lap, winner and runner up and an unlucky but fast top tenner.
Who buys the engines ?
Does the buyer have to use them or can they stockpile them ? Suppose the rules say that they must be used. If as we suspect the buying team goes no faster , then who will buy them ? The buying team now needs to buy even more motors to get faster.
It seems to me that people are supposing that there is a lot more disposable money out there than I (or the Chancellor)think there is.
The series winner could possibly be paying for 16 engines at Ł1200 each and re-selling at Ł500 each. You can buy an enormous trophy for a lot less than that.

However, there is a lot more involved in winning races than just fast engines.
The weather seems unseasonably dry and mild and the stopwatch thumb is beginning to itch a Happy New Year to All.
