BigFatDave Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 who cares what they do in motor racing, it's rubbish. this is speedway, keep it simple, no joker. the mechanics make changes to the bikes after each race, thats all that is needed One thing that cheesed me slightly, particularly in the re-run-infested early heats, was the interminable delay after each unsatisfactory start. I think unless there's a good reason, i.e. rider down, IMHO it should go to a two minute warning immediately following the stoppage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 who cares what they do in motor racing, it's rubbish. this is speedway, keep it simple, no joker. ? not sure why you replied/applied that to my post as i certainly don't care what they do in motor racing. I was merely replying to another poster who quoted motor racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Changes I'd like to see to the WTC, apart from taking the competition rights away from BSI, I'd like to see the riders race in pairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually - I like that idea. It might encourage Team Riding too, in itself a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 You mean like DRS in F1? Not the same as the Joker. Look at what DRS stands for and you'll find out why. DRS is there to reduce the handicap on the car behind, not give them an unfair advantage, as the Joker does. All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellyman Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'd like to see the riders race in pairs. I'd agree with that. The thing I'd actually like to see though is a knockout competition with only two teams in each meeting run along a similar format to league meetings.

Humphrey Appleby Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 The thing I'd actually like to see though is a knockout competition with only two teams in each meeting run along a similar format to league meetings. There would be very few countries able to compete then. You need a minimum of 6 or 7 riders per team if you want to use a straightforward match format, and there are probably only 6 or so countries that would be able to put out a competitive side on that basis.
