1) Granted re Competition Commission: that was certainly more of a rhetorical point; no-one will care about a monopoly in a small leisure-pursuit market like karting. However, while there are certainly single-product classes in car racing, there are many of them.
2) I don�t doubt that many 100cc drivers switched to Rotax or that more people will do so in future � I made that very prediction at the top this thread. But, in line with what Marc says, the saturation point is perhaps not far off. More people in other �classes� would surely migrate to non-association racing. We are told that�s the trend anyway.
3) Again like I said earlier: I agree that much of the market has already been handed to Rotax. But enshrine that in the MSA rulebook and you�ve ensured stagnation at best, but more likely much faster decline.
You to Rye next Thursday by any chance?
