  1. fkn_cnts... They ruined F1, now they'll ruin MotoGP....

  2. PI is a great track, but its facilities need huge investment for a circus the size of MotoGP.
    PI’s facilities are worse than Donington.
    WSBK maybe ok.
    The “Bend” has a convincing case for hosting MotoGP simply because it’s facilities are a lot better, I have no idea what the track is like.

    Presumably if PI had submitted an investment plan on time MotoGP would remain.

    Just as an aside, Silverstone’s grip on F1 is very tenuous.
     
  3. Apparently it's going to be a Street circuit in Adelaide

  4. A street circuit sounds too dangerous for bike racing. From what i have seen of the 4 wheel lot destroying barriers and each other on street circuits this cannot be a good idea. Notwithstanding the loss of Philip Island of course

  5. Yes. And if you read the article above, it says it is not ready. So maybe this announcement is slightly ahead of itself…
     
  6. …and if they do what they did to F1..then I wont be watching. Like watching paint dry.
