The consistent linking of karting to F1 is half the reason karting in the Uk is in such poor nick. People chasing the impossible dream. My boys (who both kart) also play cricket, football and go cycling. When they joined local clubs there was no mention of opening in an Ashes test at Lords, playing centre forward to Liverpool or winning the Yellow Jersey. Yet being the next Lewis, Jenson etc is the first thing you hear when karting is mentioned. Whilst I generally respect people for going out of their way to organise events (in all sports), this just seems like a money making exercise and not to actually benefit the people taking part.
