A world championship win is a world championship win.... but he must be feeling unsatisfied by the fact he's almost won by default rather then skill.... empty victory.

After looking like 2010 was going to be a fantastic year in GP it's been a bit of a let down

My recipe is easy and no-cost: lower RPM (17-18 K) 1000 cc only limited TC (not GPS-linked and simple, perhaps a "standard issue" for everyone) F1-style qualify If you field 2 bikes in a Factory team you must give another 4 on loan (4 FT=24 bikes) If your rider has to sit out a race due to injury you MUST replace him |

Just my tuppence worth on your ideas Pomp.
lower RPM (17-18 K) - Doesn't change the power. 1000 cc - Steps on WSbk toes. Only limited TC (not GPS-linked and simple, perhaps a "standard issue" for everyone) - There should be no electronic rider aids at all. F1-style qualify - Qualifying should be as per F1, WSbk, BSB. If you field 2 bikes in a Factory team you must give another 4 on loan (4 FT=24 bikes) - Brilliant idea. ![]() If your rider has to sit out a race due to injury you MUST replace him - Again, another brilliant idea. ![]() |

The only limiting factors should be engine size, no TC, AW, etc, and testing time. Everything else is completely open. This is prototype racing!
Good idea about fielding 4 non-factory bikes as a rule. |
