It's called "Racing" the driver with the most talent wins.  Cheesy  Unlike the winner being 3.5sec ahead.  Wink

OK, I still go with my first impression of this class. I am just now finally watching the Indy Moto2 dumbmake the beast with two backs crashfest and I'm not 5-6 laps into it. Where did they get these riders? There is no way in hell some of the riders could possibly make it through the turns they are riding and they just t-bone the hell out of other riders left and right. The front group is OK but 75% of the other riders shouldn't even be there. Tongue They really need to not let every rider with two legs and a heart beat compete in this class. It's pretty embarrassing. Sad...

I already complain about the youth in this country (make the beast with two backsing hipsters), and have had to yell at people for being on my lawn. Maybe I'm old at heart?

Just got around to watching the Aragon Moto2 GP race. As usual, it had the first turn crash nonsense with 5-6 bikes going out. I'm sure a few made it back on track but at the back of the pack. A whole lot better than Indy or other races crash-wise. There is not much good coming from 40 bikes on a grid with the same motor. It's been a season long pregnant dog of mine and I don't see it ending any time soon. bang head Hopefully next year it will be better. Pray for griding standards. Hopefully some kind of qualifying cut off will play a role to narrow the field.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Thanks. I knew there had to be some sort of cut off/standard, just have never seen or heard of it. I'm sure FIM/DORNA would have something in place. Otherwise yahoos like me might try to make the grid. laughingdp I'm just waiting for that class to separate the wheat from the chaff. I had low expectations in it's first year. Although, there is some good racing at or near the front. I just tire of all the crashes and pile ups. Too much like NASCAR. Tongue

+1 Every start looks like a Nascar event. Not to mention that it's dangerous. Not sure what they can do considering they all have the same motor unless they space them out a bit.

Maybe they should do rolling starts with a pace car...
