No Control Tyre...Control ECU?
News from crash.net states that MotoGP bosses are dabbling with the idea of a control ECU...a standard ECU that all the teams must use to control their electronics. A good thing? A bad thing?
http://www.crash.net/motorsport/moto...ectronics.html I think the idea is great in terms of controling traction control, wheelie control, but what about engine managment? The fueling should be left up to the manufacture, as what the manufacuturs learn are passed down quickly to the new road bikes, giving us riders easier-to-live-with engines, despite having a trillion bhp. Also helps manufactures learn how they can get the most from their engine and get around emissions regulations, keeping everyone happy. Pro's and cons then, from me Matt |

Plus GP is about prototype machinery. The tyre thing I understand, and approve of - to a great extent, although I see the downside there too, but I think ECUs is a step too far. Maybe it's just impossible to outlaw traction control without doing this, or at least impractical to test and monitor whether teams are cheating or not. |
