john.r.davies Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I've caught the ends of two GPs in the last day. Ten laps of F1 @ Melbourne, nothing happens. Tonight the last five laps of the MotoGP when there were four - FOUR - successful overtakes mong the first three bikes, which between times were up.each others exhaust pipes - six inches, no more. THAT is exciting racing. F1 has to lose all the aero. Sad but I believe, true. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 John Think you right I caught the hour long 'F1 GP Highlights' on Sunday morning never been so bored, heaven knows what watching the whole race would have been like especially as I would have had to get up a sill O'clock to watch it live.

iain Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Racing at Goodwood last weekend was often mesmerising. F1 ...... Watched less than 10 minutes before deciding life was too short. Went back to gardening...... Edited March 27, 2017 by iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Slightly unfair comparing F1 against motorbikes, there's about 3 times as much space across the track and claiming a line merely inconveniences a following bike ! There's always going to be more overtaking. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jellison Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I pay for BT Sport to get MotoGP. But would never go away from terrestrial F1 coverage. I could never watch one life from start to finish. Has to be able to wizz on a bit when dull (alot), usually do a GP in 40ish mins. Life too short. Should be alot more overtaking this Saturday with 7 or 8 TR's in a huge grid at the Swing Sixties Grp.2 at Snett. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GT6M Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Simples really make them all use use 6 inch max tyres tread ala FF Ford and make straights 3 times as long, will give teams choice of using aerodynamics, or have straight line speed And totally ban this .. defending yer line crap and totally ban moer than 2 tyre changers per car and same blokes also bung fuel in As most races are noo won or lost on pit stops alone M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
