Thanks for the great insight Matra!
I did a bit of "googling" on motoGP engines and found this gem:

Then got interested with ducatis demo...
what's the point of what? a V5? I dunno, that's why I asked. There is a point, I am sure of that, since a top MotoGP contender like honda chose to do it... The same thing that other teams chose to go...
Honda's motogp contender is a V5... I think ducati uses a V3 or V2...
From what I have read, engine packaging for everyday cars are mostly influenced by packaging constraints, tooling and cost.
However, for performance cars and racing cars, the engine configuration...
Excuse my ignorance, but can someone here explain this to me.
1st, let me limit what i mean by "performace" into:
1. peak HP
2. peak torque
3. max rev
4. powerband range (HP)
5....
Well that is a nice idea for us fans (Leave Ferrari in F1, alone! and create a better series without them), but that is not what the team principals from other teams see it. First off, it is...
Oopps! didnt notice that there was already an existing post... kindly delete this one. tnx
Looks like the breakaway series GPWC suffered a critical blow after Ferrari signed the revised Concorde Agreement extending it up to 2012.

as far as I know, the proposal was from the 9 other teams, not the FIA. so Ferrari are not "mandated" to follow it. plus the said proposal doesn't really do anything to "cut cost" especially for the...
the proposal looks silly... very silly.
1st off, i dont see how it can reduce cost esp for minor teams. As for as I know, only the major players do significant amount of testing. The minor teams...
i agree with your points... i just dont agree with the thread topic :rolleyes:
this is a great break given to webber, now we'll see if he can capitalize on it. as i said before, before he can...
what's the official colour/s of mclaren anyway?
:D :D :D
:D :D :Di think this would make a better movie than the 1st 2 :D :D :D
before he can beat schu or any other driver, he must 1st beat his teammate (pizza boy or heidfeld) and williams better start making a 'competitive' car...
until then, all we can do is wait... but...
i prefer both :D
well, there's no point agruing which is better, as neither were created to become the "king of supercars" or "the best car in the world"...
each were created from different...
both are great cars, looks wise and performance wise... but my money is on the ferrari.
whilst the gallardo is a greatly engineered car (thanks to audi), i feel that i has lost some of that lambo...
well, i can understand why ferrari did not attend the meeting. i think on the 1st meeting, they were deliberately uninvited... the 2nd, well, they were still pissed off for not being invited on the...
the hyundai racer... real POS
mutilated civics, corollas, lancers, sentras (big ass wings, fart cans, neons)
webber beating schu? maybe on lala land... but i dont see it happening.
even if they had the same equipment, i dont think he has a chance of beating schu... webber has never been a champion prior...
