ouch Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 47 minutes ago, Roger Jacobs said: Don't understand what you mean about Mauger? In the World Championship, you had to qualify, and your performance in one round didn't impact the next - the draw wasn't seeded. Finishing top of the League is meaningless, but the teams still have to finish in the top 4 - Leicester proved in 2023 that it's possible to get that It was at the 1979 InterContinental Final at London's White City. Ivan and Finn Thomsen had both finished on 10 points, so a run-off for third place was needed. Ivan gated and led all the way until the very last bend when his bike had an engine failure. Or so we all thought. He deliberately shut his throttle off because he didn't want to finish third. He knew the rider who finished third would have two rides on the trot in the World Final and Ivan didn't want that. I would wager the other 15 riders that day would not have known that. Such was his attention to detail that he missed out on a podium finish and prize money because he saw the bigger picture. It certainly paid off because the great man won his record-breaking sixth World Final that year. Legend! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 Dudek not making it.. Cynical old me but him getting two Wild Cards's this year looked like an attempt by the organisers for him to show his capability... Be interesting to see who gets the permanent Wild Cards next year now.. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTFC LION Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 10 hours ago, 40-38 said: It often works a it better than it did last night on B1/2, but it's not really an outside, as if you go too wide you end up in the fence as you come to the straight. That's why Bewley doesn't always go that well at BP, but his gating has got much better which makes a huge difference and I think his track craft has improved as well. I'd be interested to hear what BTFC Lion would suggest being the track man, because there is quite a large gap between the fence and the maximum width on B3/4 which is nigh on useless for the reasons suggested above. The banking on B1/2 hasn't seemed as effective as it did last year either. If time money and weather were not a problem, I would shorten the straights by bringing in the kerb on both ends, banking the track from airbag to kerb, By doing that it would enable riders to enter the bends on different lines hence giving them more options while in the bends. In the winter I would hope to get the motor blade on the track and do as much as we can to get rid of the off camber on turns 3 and 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, there are a few tracks that would benefit from bringing in the kerb on both ends, banking the track from airbag to kerb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 Congratulations to the Aces, very strong team at the right point in the season and they had a very good balance from 1-7. The Leicester track has never been great but it’s a damn sight better than what it was when first built, there is plenty of room there, you don’t need every inch to be race able, I like tracks with wide corners as it allows a bit of get off time should a rider hit trouble, some tracks your racing right by the fence, there is zero room for error. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
