Thank you !! Won't help the front end feel but might give faster lap times.


 


 


edit - should have said faster times and the tires don't go off after 5 laps


         like the soft compounds do

I think more rear grip may make their understeer feel a lot worse

Perhaps a harder rear will slip a little to the outside and self correct the understeer. I don't know for sure - just hoping.


 


Might bring back the Stoner drift.

Sure. Rider will use the throttle as much as possible to compensate understeer by sliding out the rear. This in turn would also heat up the tire quite a bit. So I think the new compound could work good for Ducati. 


 


On thursday Pirro said if they had more tire options then they could cut off 7 or 8 tenths. This alone would immediately put them fighting for podiums. 


 


MotoGP tire rule is a shame, a crap made by Honda to monopolize the series in order to regain some of the majesty they have lost across several years being beat by both Yamaha and the Ducati dwarf.


 


Bring Pirelli and Michelin to the series and let the competition flows. .... Honda, I wish Nakamoto get a vacation in some Spanish resort and never come back. 


 


I sincerely don't think in this novel the incompetent part is Ducati. Maybe it's Honda, with all their resources the only way they found to beat competitors was strangulating their most sincere chances by raising up development costs to sky, under the excuse of, ironically, lowering the costs.  


 


So, who can ever beat Honda 300 million/year R&D budget? Maybe an Italian company as big as an unicellular organism?
