Moto-E paddock on fire

Where did anyone say they were happy? Finding something humorous is not saying you were happy, far from it.

 

I guess I just don’t find somebody losing a huge amount of money in a fire humorous. Not to mention the danger the first responders faced. Could be the industry I’m in. Fire protection.

 

Were they in a temp structure or did it burn the main garages?

 

That sucks ass for the teams and riders. I’m not super stunned though. This is brand new bleeding edge technology with extremely high energies involved. Safe handling and storage are in their infancy for this stuff. Or maybe one of the bikes had a defect. These things probably go up just like a Samsung phone on a passenger jet

No way in hell can a small company replace an entire grid’s worth of equipment in 6 weeks. They’ll postpone that shit. Hopefully the teams saved their data offsite.

 

the one real positive is that they were in a separate structure and not housed with GP bikes right before a race. That would have been catastrophic on all levels.

 

Dude, Gallows humor.

 

Some people are far too binary.

 

and interesting at the same time. imagine motogp told manufacturers to put their riders on randomly picked showroom bikes (matching brand) LOL

it looked like a 2-story tent / container kinda structure.

 

Meanwhile, Billy Joel was heard loudly playing from the GP paddock...............

 

Methinks he doth protest too much. Can he account for his whereabouts last night?

 

Yeah it sucks but maybe this isn't ready for prime time. Just lucky nobody was hurt or killed.

 

F1 does it

 

And had some growing pains.

 

Giving Tesla a burn for their money.

 

e-racing is the next hot thing.

 

I got my elderly mother to watch formula e this year and she said "Why are they so slow?"

 

I got invited to be in the paddock for a Formula E race a couple of years ago. I still haven't seen a race.

 

Its like sex with a chick who lays there silently......it just isn't quite the same without the noise.

 

I don't understand the whole fire fighter issue. At the power plant we trained to put out fires with water. This was on stuff up to 500KEV! Turn the nozzles to emit a spray pattern and give it hell.
