It's a complete silhouette, basically shares nothing with the road car, and has a 5.4L V8 with a Capacitor Hybrid to make still a combined power level equivalent to GT3, but obviously a tad more restriction on the engine

Can MotoGP fans explain to me how the hell is Marc winning in a bike that others can barely get a grip around?
I don't follow the sport, but I've asked others who do and the usual reply is "Marc is a beast" and it feels like its a convenient answer and not an explanation.
marble willow
Maybe it is the same case that Lewis Hamilton has
He outscored his teammate in his rookie year (As well as the rest of his career) and then continued to dominate the sport although Hamilton had started his wave of dominance 7 years after he won his first title
normal spear
it's more than likely to do with his riding style
the bike has to be incredibly mandhandled all over the place
that is why you see marc leaning so much
grave aurora
Let's be real here, Hamilton did not decimate Alonso like Marc is doing to two champions he's had beside him. Alonso despite having a shit year had the same number of wins, podiums and points. Yes, it was Hamilton's rookie year but it's not to to the extent of Marc beating Pedrosa and Lorenzo, who are both highly regarded. I mean look at the 2018 and 2019 standings, if that happened in F1, the other driver would be the laughing stock of the paddock.
normal spear
2019 is much better as an estimate
he crushed it
that is him in his element
i don't really know enough to understand why others struggle on it but the honda has an agressive engine, short wheelbase and is low
it is clearly something only marc can get over
truly to be dominant that is
grave aurora
Is riding style something that is difficult to adapt to on bikes?
We see shit cars in F1 and drivers adapting to it but it looks like in MotoGP and bikes in general it's much harder to do so.
normal spear
well i can think of one example
although it is a bit lackluster
because the guy was carrying injury
but jorge had switched from yamaha to ducati and then honda
and bam he was pretty crap on it

Can MotoGP fans explain to me how the hell is Marc winning in a bike that others...
he rides the bike like no other can, simple as that. he pushes the limit to the point that he himself doesn't know when he'll crash. honda also doesnt hear feedback from other riders so it has become a really unstable bike as such
grave aurora

normal spear
marc i think can cope with the loss of the front tyre as well compared to jorge who had much of his success with precise lines on a bike that was long and tall
it is excellent what he can do
but i think some parts of it are created by the bike
not him
he's said this before
marble willow
Bike or not, he is Marc Marquez in the end.

lorenzo has a smooth riding style, which didn't correlate to the honda and ducati

Stupid question probably since I don't watch moto, is Prime Marquez better than Prime Rossi
lethal steeple
100%
normal spear
i think so
lethal steeple
unquestionably
lethal steeple
the field was nowhere close to rossi during 2001-2005
lethal steeple
2006 he was faced with yamaha problems, 2007 ducati just were the better team, and then the new blood started to come around 2008-2010
normal spear
no doubt but to me as soon as the big 4 came about he was starting to get challenged quite comfortably
stoner, him, pedrosa and jorge
the field is very good now but marc is on another planet
people like to say that last year was very inconsistent which it was but i put that down to the bikes being much closer, the riders all being very good and the nature of the season
lethal steeple
i think quartararo equalled marquez in 2019
or rather
shown that he could equal him

Damn, wait another question, is the rossi domination similar to the mercedes domination then?

the closest seasons to mercedes domination are like 2009 and 2010

i think his 05, 08, 09 championships were all on very good bikes
04 moderately
but he was defo getting the most on those occasions
although as we've already said the field wasn't that great

Alpine reveals LMP1 contender for step up to WEC's top class
motorsport.com
midnight kite
Just to profit
midnight kite
Even ByKolles is said to be making Road and track versions of the PMC
midnight kite
"On 5 December 2018, the FIA published the technical rulebook for the class, with the regulations mandating production-based powertrains. It was also decided that a minimum of 25 road cars fitted with the combustion engine and energy recovery system (ERS) of the race car would have to be produced by the end of a manufacturer's first season, with that amount rising to 100 by the end of its second season. This would mean that non-OEM racecar constructors, such as Oreca, Onroak Automotive, and Dallara, would not be permitted to build hypercars, while the previously proposed "off-the-shelf" hybrid solution was absent from the regulations."
Basically, the man's comment is wrong
Alpine was only given the chance to enter a grandfathered LMP1 because ACO and FIA knows it takes time to build a new car, especially for teams suddenly joining a year late after Hypercar regulations was released to the public

why the Bykolles road going variant gonna have a hybrid but not the race version
midnight kite
Privateers still not allowed to have a hybrid system iirc
Hence why both Glick and ByKolles are N/A
This is just stupid tbh, I know they had to do this for private teams to reduce cost but not letting them have a hybrid system is bs
This is one other reason why LMP1 died
And Toyota kept dominating since both Porker and Tractor left respectively in 2017 and 2016

you could say GT3 is big gokarting then

GT3 via imsa does it at long beach
sure, some of these tracks arent in comparison to the minute lap time street circuits of FE
empty lion
since they do brakes
brake changes are not common nowadays
you only see them in 24H races as part of a mandatory safety change
also the slowest pitstop is either GTWC or WEC
since they can only use a single wheelgun there
IMSA allows 2

Can we get fucking Reiter Engineering to build another one off GT3 car again?
I miss the likes of the Camaro GT3 and their Gallardo R-EX
And even Emil Frey Racing XKR-S
Man, FIA and ACO needs to man up and let one-off GT3 car back in the grid.... the likes of the Marc VDS Mustang, both Reiter Engineering cars and the Emil Frey Jaguar were the greatest GT3 cars

In motorcycles if you are tired you fall of the bike and die
That's why the Isle of Man TT is considered the deadliest motor race in the world.. Putting the Indy 500, Daytona 500, Bathurst 1000, Le Mans, and Spa to shame

Yea I can see that happening
Especially the force you receive on a bike is much more than what you receive in a car
And if you’re on a bike you gotta keep moving your body to get through corners

What about Hillclimb Racing and Rallying?
How do they compare?

What about Hillclimb Racing and Rallying?
Those are deadly too, more so spectators, but compared to Daytona or Indy so much much
marble willow
Hillclimb Racing is criminally underrated imo (even though pikes peak exists)
verbal orbit
Pikes peak lmaoooo the dangerous side of motorsport
No rules, as long as you have a roll cage and a car you’re good to go
verbal orbit
Is group B rally or Pikes peak more dangerous actually
marble willow
Group B by far
But, if you think about it, both have similar levels of danger to them
You could crash and kill spectators in Gr. B, while also having the probability that you would plunder to your demise if you fell off the Pikes Peak hillclimb
In the end, you would need a lot of balls to do either one.
marble willow
Oh, Pikes Peak also does motorbikes, too.

the ACO has no control over GT3
it's FIA and Ratels SRO
and one off GT3s go against the concept of GT3
midnight kite
No they don't....
empty lion
yes they do
it's a class based on customer racing
people building one offs doesnt fit into that
and GM made that concept impossible anyways with the Caddy GT3
they refused to sell it to anyone because they just wanted to run it in PWC
and Ratel changed the rules so 20 cars must be made in 2 years
