Hi, bit of a newbie on here & after some views.
I have a prokart on 160s, and intend to do some races in the championships at Rye House and Clay Pigeon.
But I don’t understand this GX200 thing, and have questions.

The engines are sealed – right ? How & when has that ever worked ?
Are they built with any regard to the present rules ? eg ign timing.
Will these be available from other engine builders than RPM, and if so, bearing in mind the vagaries of dynos, how will that work ?
If they’re only available from one source, how is that a good thing ?

Surely the whole attraction (to me anyway), is the age-old stability of the prokart engine situation. Obviously nothing’s perfect in life, but it seemed to me that it was probably about as good as it gets in motorsport .

OK, I get the bit about having slightly more grunt, but there are other kart formulae that offer that – why muddy these waters ?

It seems to me that some people have been completely suckered here by some short-term gratification, without any regard for the consequences.

I would stress that I’m just some bloke, right ? I’m not party to, and don’t want particularly to be party to, the politics of all this, I just simply don’t understand how this is anything approaching progress, and am questioning my continuing in something where the very attraction that it had for me (and others I suspect) is at risk.

I sincerely hope someone’s got answers here.
