Is it blinkers, naivety or vested interest that causes this train of thought, because it's really not complicated. Nobody disputes that in most sport there is some advantage to be gained from having the best or better equipment. In other sports though these margins still allow the sportsman to make the difference. This is simply not the case in karting. It's quite straight forward, there is more in the engines than in the drivers, that's the bottom line.

I have no objection to this when it comes to adults, it's the nature of the sport for many and always will be. But not for children. Especially now looking in from the outside, (competing in another relatively expensive sport that gives help and credit to talent, rather than demanding more and more money), I find it astounding that karting is still blundering around in the dark ages when it comes to bringing through the best to potentially represent their country in the future.

I have no doubt if the vast number of ordinary motor sports enthusiasts had the slightest idea of how incestuously corrupt and unfair children's motorsport was and how the greed and pointless ambition of a few, shackles the nation as a whole, there would be an outcry.
