Indy Test

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Jumkie @ Jul 11 2008, 09:06 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Son, have you seen Monza track? There is a stretch of steel railing with steel mesh fencing on both sides about equal distance to this smooth wall. WSBK has no problem racing there, surely the Italians know about safety.
Yeah, I think know the stretch you mean. It seems to me that WSBK uses a number of tracks that motoGP doesn't. Whether this is contractural, conflicting with other races or some other reasons I'm not sure.
As for the Italians knowing about safety, ever been on the roads over there? Some of the craziest people on the planet!! Seriously, I don't know - when was the last time GP's raced at Monza?

I would guess they don't want direct comparisons to track times. Though at some places like Qatar (though now they went to night racing) and PI they have no choice.

Yeah, actually been to Italy, and yes they drive crazy. Reminds me of Mexico. Anyway, I mention this track because somebody mentioned safety commissions and what is at stake.
