MOTOGP » Control electronics?

Hey Jimbob.......Austrailian V8 Supercars. Great racing.

No electronic aids at all.... Open tyre rule...let the rider be the deciding influence not the complexity of the on board software / hardware. It''s becoming a software engineers GP let them play on PS3''s or X''boxes and leave sport alone.

Not my favourite idea but I hate rider aids like traction control. I watch for the riders more than the bikes so if this is a way to get Traction control out I''m OK with it.

They should ban the traction control. Suspension, Engine, Chasiss, Tyres - let the teams choose whatever they want.

this is a must for motogp, its now all about electronics and tyres and has to change. traction control and launch control are enabling riders to jump straight on these bikes and go fast from the off and should be banned so its all about rider skill. i aree that these bikes need advanced electronics to control there drivability but should stop there. bring back 990,s without traction control and restore motogp as the best motorsport in the world.

Its simple -

less electronics = more exciting racing based on rider skill - which is what we all want - isnt it???

Wonder what the paddock has to say about this?

My guess - Rossi would be delighted - others less so!

khushy

Perhaps Ezpeleta is using double talk what he could mean by a control ECU,,,,, Every Component Until,,,,, Rossi wins

Hayden would be delighted,
Capirossi would be delighted,
Melandri would be delighted,
Hopkins would be delighted,
Stoner should be delighted.

Lots of people say they want 500 era racing back but few people actually remember what that was like. For one, there were a lot more crashes, and a lot more riders getting badly injured. Plenty of championships were decided in the hospital rather than on track.

The other thing about the 500 era is that there were usually only a few guys who could run at the front. The margins of victory tended to be pretty large in fact. If you ban traction control you're going to see even less close racing than what you're seeing now.

Notice that no one was complaining about TC in 2006 when we had a great season. Its just that this year the tires and 800 cc rule resulted in a runaway by Stoner.

lol Saltbrush . You'll only encourage them you know
