I wonder where this fictional figure of �10k comes from? I remember when we started in karting people would tell me that "so and so had an engine that cost �10k" and i believed them, it suited , as an excuse for being slower!
We have just won Super 1, the most i have ever paid for a senior engine is �3000, that is also the most i have ever seen one offered at. The engine which we won at Shenni on and took the title on finishing second at Wigan cost �600 from e-bay.
No senior engine that is good will be 2/10ths off! sure a bad one will be, work with your engine builder to make sure yours is ok.
Michael Simpson would win at Pfi on a rotax, Kf or KGP, because he is a fine driver who knows the circuit like the back of his hand not because he is paid, has �10k engines, etc etc etc.
Think about it chaps, Jake Ball, Ed Brand Danny Graham, British champions in Tkm and now all front runners in Rotax, with different teams , different chassis, they still deliver, because they are good drivers.
Keep your engine and spend what you can doing laps, and always enjoy it!!
