Steve (Cobb22)is right...
Of course the Rotax classes are dying, at both National and Club level, the drop away in entries is clear to see...
But it is not only Max classes, look at TKM, one or two circuits do ok.....but most are struggling, and again with S1, smaller entries, TKM 4/ can`t even muster a Super 1 grid....
Formula Blue, by the looks of things, could be extinct by the end of this year.
It seems to be an epidemic at the present time, no doubt due to the present economic climate, but I really don`t see the sense in creating more classes to an already bloated, and rapidly diminishing market place....
What goes around comes around, and no doubt people will return to karting as the economic situation improves, but when it does, I can really only see people returning in classes like Max and TKM, I only see the new classes floundering really.
Like or loathe Rotax.....it was the first at what it did (TAG), got in at exactly the right time and was properly marketed.....it will survive and, eventually, in my opinion, prosper.
Do like the look of that Aixro mind you.....lol
