Have you ever been to Southern Europe, countries like Italy? They have very high temperatures in the summer and they're not too cold the rest of the year
In England Arrows tend to be pretty rubbish, they're just not meant for our climate. CRGs are pretty good in Senior Max and they'll do alright in most other classes. Tonykarts are probably the most popular and they are good, I would say Gillards are probably second most popular ATM. So really, as long as it's not from some unknown manufacturer who lives in a shed and you're a good driver then it shouldn't really matter too much which chassis you have. (IMO)
Hehe, I've only ever driven a CRG. I don't have the money to hire/buy a kart to test it. The one I've got will do at the moment.
(Like Becky said, those with lots of money win, those with not a lot of money - e.g. me - don't and have to make do with what we have. IMO having an older and worse handling kart improves driver skill and you can still keep up with a lot of the new karts :shrug

Anyway, I've abandoned this league because we hardly had any entries. I am thinking about having a one-off event with the MRT. Something along the lines of MRT World Championship...
The sand physics are off but that's only because we can't dig into the ground. In a way that also applies to the grass, although it wouldn't happen as often.
While we're on the subject of gripping things, the tyres should grip onto other tyres better than the road, making it possible to flip and generally get bounced around if you lock wheels in an open-wheeler.
I don't see the attraction of having the Nurgburgring, IMO it wouldn't be used on public servers just because it's so long and the field would be VERY spread out.
What I would like to see though is (when we get karts in LFS) real life kart tracks. Not necessarily the big, well-known ones, but some of the smaller club ones such as Wombwell, Fulbeck, etc (I don't know any tracks in other countries apart from the big ones). This way we avoid the big licensing fees (smaller clubs are likely to ask for smaller amounts of money) and it's still somewhere that people can go drive at in real life.
