Didn't say they'd be swapping every 5 minutes. Teams change suppliers at the end of the season etc, no reason to stop that. Just have suppliers sending the tyres to Dorna and they dish them out.Originally Posted by Moto-Dynamix

ok agree to disagree on this one man

Piss off the fucken lot of you. Control tyres or anything for that matter, is the exact opposite of what prototype racing is about.
One set of rules for all, build the best you can to work inside those rules and find a rider who best utilises the package.

A rule making teams only use those tyres that they brought at the start of the weekend should stop the over night specials.
During the BTSport coverage they said that Bridgestone signed the contract to be the sole tyre supplier just before the global financial crisis and had they known they would have never signed the contract.
With Pirelli supplying WSBK and Dunlop covering Moto2/3 it doesnt leave many large tyre manufacturers left.

What on earth have you been reading? I don't think any of us are in favour of a single supplier rule. There has been some discussion of potential problems with having multiple suppliers to avoid certain historic anomalies, but that's all irrelevant because at this stage it's not an option. However much we would like it to be.

The big news overnight from Jerez was that Edwards had been given the arse card. His comment was "Bullshit!"
The rumour started from a misinterpreted quote from an interview in Italian. The quote was to the effect that if Collin doesn't want to keep riding we'll find another position for him in the team.
That and the fact that someone else is testing his bike on Monday because Edwards has nothing to test.
The denials from Edwards and the team management did little to cool the rumour.

He has been reading what I have been saying Pritch, and I am in favour of the one make tyre supplier, it helps keep the fight more even but I do not see this happening next time around, as it is way to costly for one company to do this now.
Forum whore
I think they need to ipen it up more.there will need to be al least two suppliers imho,and I think we are going to see the whole game turn on its head.My understanding is the bridgestones are fantastic tyres,and if you can get the bike to work with them you get fantastic results.interesting times ahead,i bet the lap times in 2015 will be way down on these coupla years.
Fully qualified Sifter.
2016 innit? And I don't know about that. Lap times haven't really fallen much over the last few years despite the bikes getting better/faster...so are the tyres holding them back?
Forum whore
Yep 16 it is.the bridgestones aren't holding them back,but I think when the change comes the tyres will be more of a limiting factor for the factory teams than they are now
I mean the lap times will be slower

As important as you undoubtedy are Shaun, on your own you don't justify the quote "Piss off the fucken lot of you".
Anyway I took the advice and pissed off on the bike to the Awakino pub for lunch.

Drew is the biggest wind up merchant and very full of shit on this site mate, it took me years to figure that out

To a point. I try and insert my opinion as I wind up grumpy people too though.
Prototype racing should encourage EVERYONE to make the best of whatever they manufacture. Then pick a team and try to best everyone else.
Single suppliers of anything go against that, and slow development as a whole.

You're all shit too, people were telling you for ages I was winding you up. It took years to accept it.
