It isn't going to be a case of whether the engine works, but whether certain people are going to put their weight behind it.

You see, we have effectively had the same thing in this country for the last ten years. A CNC engine, made by IAME, works out of the box, the important parts numbered by the importer and a system of restrictors that makes weight more or less irrelevant.

In the hands of the skilled, such as Craig Copeland, Chris Derrick etc, it stays up with the 'seals', in the hands of the ordinary, it is comparable with the 177's, even though it's only 100 cc.

It's called the IAME Lynx and it's run in Formula Blue.

And, no, the Lynx is definitely not more expensive to keep running than a Rotax, so I cannot see any reason why the X30 should be. It is after all exactly the same technology.

Of course, there will be people who bore out the barrel to the last bore, who fit new rings and piston every meeting, just as there are people who swear that they have to do similar sorts of thing to their Rotax to stay competitive. There will also be people who try to rewrite the engine maps to get an advantage.

But lets face it, we have already had a thread about the people who have to win at any cost, even if, as the MSA report suggested some time ago, the sums of money spent in the engineering were the equivalent in scale to the expenditure in Formula One!
