MotoGP to Silverstone in 2010

I love this part. I guess some myths are hard to die once they have infected the willing mind.

(ie.: religion, cults, santa clause, tooth-fairy, etc)


i wasnt taking the piss or rider bashing buddy... i was saying the bike would be well sutied to the track unless they make some changes. the duke isnt the best on tight twisty bends but is defitnatly the machine for powering out of a corner winding up rapidly then getting some serious speed on a straight thats all.... whats wrong with that?
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BarryMachine @ Jan 10 2009, 01:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>yes but obviously they only have point and squirt tracks in Britain.

ie. by your reasoning ......... since Ducati have Donnington sewn up the last few years ........ I guess its also a point and squirt track.

i wasnt commenting on stoner ..... but was thinking the ducati would be more suited here cos there aint many tight twisty bends, your always trying to make an argument and never look at what i was trying to say.

im not arguing with you this season anyway.

I like Silverstone but it's not very viewer friendly so I hope they use more than one screen which is all the BSB and SBK get/got on the International Circuit.

And there still will be lap traffic. Especially on a track like Silverstone. Yes it is long, but the track is fast. And with bikes like the Ducati pulling away, I could see Stoner or Hayden lapping up to half the field.

Donny is one of my favorite tracks to watch. Redgate, Schwantz, the Foggy Esses, Melbourne, passing on the last corner before the finish line (note: passing only found in the lower classes
<
). It is a classic Moto GP track in my view, and it would be sad to see it go.
 
Provided they don't run the joke of a final chicane, this should be pretty cool. Good news i think.

I don't know about scrapping a Brit GP, but adding in Portimao, outstanding idea. The final WSBK round there this year was a hoot.
 
Looks like I shall have to start saving money now for the hotel costs down there then. Oh well. They've not swopped it cause they will have to make changes to the track have they? then come 2011 it'll be back at Donnington - WELL A GIRL CAN DREAM.

Why don't they have it at Cadwell instead

Closer to me to so I'm not complaining too much.

They should all go back to retro bikes for a season or 10.
