TKM59 if you think driving a TKM around Clay Pigeon in 34 second laps or Shennington in 43 second would be boring you should try a rotax. You would really get bored then.

With the extra weight next year a little more speed would be welcome. Remember Senior TKM was 145 kgs not so long ago. 7 kgs is a fair bit of blubber.

Every time a new homologation comes around in TKM there is speculation that this or that chassis is 0.4 seconds a lap faster than the old one(s). Rarely the case. Mostly due to the more competitive drivers using them early on.

Most of the CIK chassis are designed to run with an adjustable front AND rear bar, and camber and castor. Not allowed in TKM. This is going to make them harder or as hard as a TKM chassis to set up for different conditions. Plus most are eye wateringly expensive.

I think next year is going to be exciting.
