This is motorsport in a nut shell comers have been around for 15 to 20 years and the more experience the engine builders got with them and the more engines that were manufactured over the years enabled so called pedigree engines to be built and of course as the years went on these engines kept raising in value. The same with Hondas which have been going 10 to 15 years 2 years ago there were t1 Hondas going for ridiculous money 5-6 k but then Honda change to the t2 at first people weren't sure wether to stick or twist. Those t1s have lost nearly all there value over the last year as the t2 has proved to be the engine to be on especially once u have put 30 to 40 hours on it but that costs time and money to do and therefore the people that have these engines want a premium when selling but I agree that 4k is too much but any engine is worth what someone is willing to pay. At the moment the iame engines do seem very even but I'm sure as more engines are produced and the engine builders find little advantages in 2 or 3 years time there will be so called pedigree iame engines changing hands for silly money. I don't agree with it and I turned down a very strong Honda engine because they wanted 3 k but a week later he had sold it. I've got an old t1 and a new t2 my t1 is still better than my t2 but I'm hoping with time spent on it it will become better but only time and money spent testing will tell. Karting is expensive full stop no matter what class u run in but some are lucky enough to have an endless budget. They may call Hondas a budget and tkm but no class is budget it's only as cheap or expensive as u want it to be. To say that Hondas don't deserve to be at super one is wrong all classes have a right to compete in the national series some of the drivers in Hondas are just as deserving as iame comer rotax and tkm. And to say that Hondas should be classed as a beginners class is rude to those who compete in it and then get ready for proper racing in iame that's wrong they are both great classes in there own right and many drivers last year and next year will compete in both classes. Wether Hondas are faster or slower doesn't matter they just need to compete separately and there's no problem. Libre grids shouldn't happen but if they do stagger the starts which some clubs do so that the boys are competing in equal equipment for hopefully close competitive racing.
Sorry if I have mis quoted anyone but I'm useless with technology
