More parts, more cash, these aren\’t Japanese cars, these are Italian engines. I am not knocking the Italian, they make great stuff, but a racing engine is a racing engine.
Here\’s my 2 cents, the homologated 125s will cost more then the 100cc\’s, the weekend ****** market that these things were aimed at won\’t shall out that kind of cash. The reason why these 125s were so popular, it\’s because they were unregulated. (PRD)

Yh, he tested the 100cc in the moring to get used to the chassis, and then he tested the KF1 later on.

It revs to 17,500rpm and will probably push arounf 35hp

Dominic, I couldn’t agree with you more! 100cc

What a waste of time and money. The beautiful 100 CC engines are so fast, simple and cost effective. These new money eating machines will only hurt karting in the long run. Get back to the 100 CC engines and we will all be much happier.

I think S Garda was wet as well…in the morning anyway….I think it dried out!

But it looks as if the new engines won’t be a big leap in pace.

Mid 42’s in qual at the Italian Open and high 42’s in the finals in Formula A. Assuming he didn’t use new tyres then the new engine is the same pace as old, if he did then its half a second slower but its important to factor in race rubber and other karts putting rubber down into lap times.
