Motorcycle Grand Prix - Qatar 2020

Disagree. Cory will use that if he knows he has space behind him. Otherwise it's an invitation to get stuffed coming into four. In a tight race, everyone enters T4 mid track or close. If you leave four feet there, you get stuffed.

Disagree? Oh great ANOTHER JOKE wasted on barf. "wheelies through that whole section until seven" ? :rolleyes
No more jokes for you. You curmudgeon, you. :laughing

The 'V' description works for what DC showed me. :ride

The outer 2/3 is a vacuum, but the inner 1/3 can fit 2-3 bikes wide if brave enough. Everyone always hugs the curb, so an outside pass is usually available and it gives you the inside for T4 and the climb to 5A.

T3 has been my strongest turn for years. The key is getting enough weight on the front end and it's sails away after that. last time Earnest and I rode together, that's where I got him. Best TD in my memory!

I usually make up ground in the first half of the track and then throw it all away after that. Turn 6 is probably my worst turn on the track. I always either cut the apex waaaaay too soon or completely square it off and lose a ton of time trying to get it all back through 7 and 8.

Same..or used to be same. JZ gave me a tip there that helped a lot. Can explain better in person.

Thanks Curt and John and apologies. It's the only racing many of us will do for several months. Stay healthy guys!

Can’t wait for MotoGP to come to Thill.

I’m still waiting for NBC sports to show Moto 3! Or did sling not record it?
Bored, technically challenged and regretting deleting some of those good races like Stoner at Phillip Island.

HAHAHA... seriously... but we ain't go nothing else!


On topic: Does GP have a championship this year? They said they need 13 races to crown a champ. I don't see it happening, personally. And if they don't, do they still race for points or what- if there is no 'ship? Weird.

 

[Shaggy]

Last I heard, they said they would be willing to race in early 2021 if necessary to complete the season.

I think we color 2020 done and expect MM to kick everyone’s ass in ‘21
