MotoGP | 2021 | Round 15 | COTA | USA | Oct 1-3

Each year to Barber and the MotoA finale' there are talks of expansion and adding garages to lure at least WorldSBK there.
Supposedly have the addition to go straight at T13, out and about and then back to the T14-15 / pit in area.
But again, I've heard that for like 4 years running now.

 

If they did all those steps they did them with incredible speed but it’s possible I guess

 

I used to be a Jackass fan, but he's proving to be a bit contemptuous of late. Not really sure I'm still a fan.

 

I'm still a fan, just wish he'd zip it more, and focus on the track and less running of the mouth every time a mic is in his face. Sometimes you can say more by talking less.

 

Barber no garages in the pits was a rumor I heard years ago.

 

Laguna Seca would be a non-starter?

 

I think it's pretty obvious that the best solution is to link both NJMP tracks for the motogp bikes. And add a few sections of airfence.

 

i mean that was the original plan, so I'm all for it!

 

That would be very very frightening.

 

You misspelled "amazing".

 

I said add airfence! What could possibly go wrong?

 

In other COTA news, sorta close to a Joe Roberts replica...

You do realize that you are criticizing Miller but just admitted that you would have been more of a hothead than him and and retaliated to his retaliation of being bumped, don't you?

 

The boys would love VIR long track...

I haven't been in a while but that was a fun track!

 

How you gonna say stuff like that and expect to be taken seriously in any other discussion?

 

Plenty of run off in turn 1. Turn 4 though.....

 

I know, right!!! Next thing you know he'll kick Marquez off the track at Malaysia....

 

Does the FIM keep a list similar to the FIA on track grades?

Indy and COTA (and now Miami) are the only grade 1 tracks, and thus are the only ones who can hold F1 races.

Barber, NJMP, Laguna, VIR, etc. are all grade 2.

Well at least COTA could still be used for Rallycross

 

Yes .. I do realize that however I wouldn’t have started that fight , but I sure as hell would have finished it if some clown had the nerve to grab my helmet as he did ...not the same thing at all
