Setter is Better.
Who does everyone think the worst drivers to win a World Drivers Championship are? My answer is Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Damon Hill, Nigel Mansell, James Hunt, Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, Jim Clark, John Surtees, and Mike Hawthorn.

If we could retroactively exclude every championship won by a British person as they all probably cheated.

Except Our Jenson, of course, who is a paragon of sportsmanship and fair play.

So when do we start applying that to this year's Honda engine?

I bet if Honda went to a non British team they would be up there with Mercedes, I bet it's more the Bad British Team McLaren holding Honda back.

Bad driver who had to qq to Ross Brawn when an almost dead Rubens Barichello started threatening his title challenge. Then barely managed to scrape the wdc as he couldnt handle how good Vettel was.

Dunno if I'm actually going to do it, depends if they actually do kick me out of the class. It's sort of entered my mind that if I do buy a new chassis that's an option. I don't think my driving style would be that great with the 4 stroke though.

Adapt your driving style

If anything ive seen tag drivers come thru and dominate 206, as an addef bonus, your tires will last twice as long. What are popular chassis at your poo poo? Crg and k&k prob?

Also this.

I'd definitely be more competitive after getting up to speed, but I do think it would be a struggle to initially adapt.

Popular chassis' are Tony and PCR. Tony is the easy way out and I'm already sick of welding this POS up. My kart now is PCR and I have to really rag the poo poo out of it to get it to work, don't think it'd work in Briggs.

If you can maintain a chain it's pretty much the race entry fee plus gas, and tires assuming you keep your nose clean. If you're crashing out constantly the costs can escalate pretty quick.

Also I use the finest parts from Germany aside from my tires. hth.

Also holy poo poo these birels are cheap. If I wasn't buying a bike next year I'd be tempted to get one new.

Buy a 1980s Chevy Astro/GMC Safari. The kart will fit right in the back with the rear seats removed.

Also you can be known as the sketchy dude with a van that reeks of gasoline.

The loving tuning window on the 29 is insane with the ylcs, i think ive only pulled out all the caster and dicked with rear tire width and the loving thing just keeps getting faster. And i have even more options up my sleeve should my poo poo get too stuck in the hotter weather.

Ya the PCR is the exact opposite. I've had to fiddle with so much poo poo just to get it to work and even now I'm still using the brake to turn in one corner of the track. Also for some bizarre reason it works really well in low grip conditions so it's impossible to read into what it's going to do on race day.
