    Amazing. This is what karting needs. I hope it takes off. It could be the replacement of formula 6. That makes me so happy

    Couldn't agree more with Brad, We will be definitely signing up for the Cadet season.
    There are so many upside to this championship, to name a few:
    As buying (pre 2018) used parts Karts will keep their value, I could even see resell for the same price. s decide later it isn't for you there is little financial risk.
    Unable to throw money to make you go faster, everyone will have the same kit.
    Honda's low maintenance Vs 2 strokes
    GX £ per seat time Vs rental racing is an easy winner
    Series is run by experienced karters, loads of free advice
    When moving from Cadets to juniors, reuse the engine (get it de- restricted)
    Social meet loads of like minded people who love Motorsport

    Hey, whats the difference between stock gx200 and gx uk type gx200? How much power does it produce and what is the tuned rpm? I couldnt find information. I’m considering to join next season from Turkey

    • @BradPhilpot
      @BradPhilpot  11 днів тому +1

      If you mean stock as in a generator engine - probably too many differences to go into.
      The engines have to be the race version, built and sealed by one of the designated engine builders like RPM / GXT etc. You can get them second hand for around £450 on eBay for example.

    is there absolutely no way at all to do this with a 2 stroke, for say i do'nt know....30% more of the cost. x30/rotax still not affordable for most, what happened to TKM 4 stroke? it's a shame there isn't a super affordable 2 stroke option to this day.

    • @BradPhilpot
      @BradPhilpot  Рік тому +1

      To be honest - not really. The very nature of a two stroke is that they will wear out faster and require more frequent rebuilds. The cost effectiveness of this series hinges on the engine formula.

    will this series race on proper tracks or just these rental type tracks?

    • @BradPhilpot
      @BradPhilpot  Рік тому +1

      Proper tracks for sure. Next up is Shenington, which is a major MSUK type-track, and then Hootton Park which is another large 2-Stroke style circuit.
      Next year’s calendar hasn’t been decided but it will have proper tracks for sure.
