Starting a new team
After long abstinence form anything "GO FAST" I am contemplating setting up a 2 driver team with my son to compete in our European Superracekart series in Div 1 (2cyl jobs).
Having looked in during last season, and having spoken with several of the Gurus, I am still a bit at a loss of what engine to use..
Yamahas V engine seems to be making a lot of splash and is said to be quite sturdy in the gearbox.
Rotax are fast! but seem to be more fragile and spare parts can be difficult to come by.
This team will not be an unlimited $$$ affair, but I am not planning to start with other people's scrap, so everything will be brand new for the start.
On an Engine the most important considerations on my list are: Reasonable power, good and sturdy gearbox and availability of spare parts.
I would hate to pay absolutely outrageous prices charged by some of the Gurus here in Europe.
Your suggestions are welcome. :confused:
