Although we run as dad and lad, I would have no hesitation running in a team if we ever did S1 because they bring so much more to the table and the team environment can be very good for building confidence especially in cadets where dads and drivers are sometimes of limited experience. If the driver is of a good standard, then perhaps testing every weekend is unnecessary, which reduces annual costs. It's interesting that none of the teams seem to advertise their rates on their websites - I feel this only adds to the rumours which are going around the paddock regarding the cost of running with a team. I was at a track last year and a bloke came up to me and told me it was Ł600 to run with one of the teams who were in the paddock for the weekend. Having spoken to the team owner it was actually less than Ł200 if you were prepared to spanner yourself. Some people on here have made no secret of the accident damage and subsequent repair costs while doing super one compared to club meetings. Can't say much except that the best drivers in the country are competing at the highest level and every one of them wants to win at all (considerable) costs so contact is presumably more likely. I have no experience of how incidents are dealt with, having never done super one but I know a few people on here have suggested that the officials are biased towards certain teams. In terms of the actual driving standards, some of the bits I've seen on TV have been questionable but the races have been filmed which gives us the chance to analyse every single incident. I would be interested to see video footage of a club meeting to see how the standards compare when subjected to the same level of scrutiny. Another point which is frequently mentioned is engine inequality and the cost of having an engine capable of winning at super one. An attempt by the organisers to overcome this by providing pooled engines hasn't worked so is engine equality really what people want? It seems logical enough to me (and evidently the organisers) that engine equality would boost entries by providing closer racing so why has this totally failed? Numerous other complaints I've read about on here including comparative lack of track time and difficulty in getting a pit space at busy pre super one club meetings all add up to make super one sound like an expensive, stressful headache. Personally I'd like to have a crack at it in a couple of years time if he improves because it IS the premium kart racing series with the best drivers.
