MotoGP 2012

[roogazza]

Yes, agree

Great, and we can start it off with something like this.LOL.

I know that many of you don't like the whole CRT race within a race (Crasher for one), so how does this sound to ya? There have been a couple of teams previously that have used Honda's 990 V5 engine & ecu, I don't think they won any races, but it would be better than the current CRT's, right?

[Reckless]

Can I just say -
Great thread this whole big one - MotoGP 2012 - so convenient to have the one thread instead of hundreds about each race and each incident. Lets make a 2013 one from Valencia post race practice?

Yes, agree

Me three.

OK seeing as how I managed to resist the need to post every 5 mins just because its my thread and the last one didnt turn into a KB shit fight

Here ya go!!

First question of 2013 put forward in this thread http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...post1130428917

It didnt because the mods very correctly and promptly kicked ''Viscount Montgomery'' into pointless drivel when he made a very threatening post attacking me. Its very very clear who he is and Id hate to be a customer that challenges him when such a vile nature has been in evidence. The post spoke volumes.

Anyway thats a very good question that you have put up for your next thread

I for one, quite some time back, suggested that the F1 model was going to be where they ended up. I cannot see why it has taken them so long to figure out that it is the best way to go.
Then we will really see if chassis manufacturers really can compete with the factories.
Clearly the customer spec gear will not be the same as factory spec, but it will be a lot closer so that more teams might be interested in joining the party.
Bring it on I say.

Agreed, would be a bloody good idea.

Go on Rob, who is VM

I thought this was the MotoGP thread, not the thread for outing sad fucks.

Let normal programming resume.

CRT is a failure. Some M1 engines and customer spec RCVs will help.

[Mental Trousers]

CRT has done it's job. Those rules were there to put bikes on the grid and that's what it's done. They were never going to be competitive against the factories but a grid with many different bikes and teams means people are interested in taking part in the series, whereas a grid with 3 factories and nobody else is an old boys club.

The disparity between the CRT's and the prototypes has given Dorna leaverage over the factories now. Whether that was the intention or not we'll never know. But the CRT rules were always intended to be a tool that could be used to change things and that's what is happening.

Exactually man, it was a race within a race as I said months ago, CRT bikes were never to be expected to compete against the factory kit

Give it another 2 seasons with the take over of both classes, the racing will be very exciting to watch again, yes the classes will be bumbed down to achievev this, but the racing will be much better to watch with more challenges up the front.

hahaha it was like listening to a drunk looser

So... Valencia, eh. Last race of the season, no pressure for titles, seems like everyone's hanging out for the test really.

And here I was hoping that it would be more like a free for all. What with it being the last ride on certain bikes for some people (last ride for certain people period), they've got little to loose, might as well go balls to the wall on this one. Maybe they should give the top three riders a 10 kg ballast after the morning warm-up so that we can see someone other than them win a race this year.

Yeah I'm kinda hoping all three big guns will want to go out blazing.
