Hi guys,
right now there are the Sepang Shakedown Tests going on.
I know the aerodynamics is a thing that is necessary in modern days racing.
If its needed its a different thing.
But have you seen this thing that KTM was testing today?
The rear end of the Aprillia is looking like a Batmobil.
I am a bit afraid what is Gigi Dallingia bringing next week on the new Ducati GP24?
What are your thoughts about this Aero-War in MotoGP?
I dont think this is really necessary. The bikes are much faster than 2-3 years before but the Circuits are not safe enough anymore.
Will they stop this thing before or after the first is seriously hurt?
is this the end?

Re: is this the end?
I agree that they should go. My concern is about that prospect of little bits of shattered carbon fiber littering the track, although punctures haven’t seemed to be a big problem yet, I suspect if the the aero devices continue to grow it will become a issue. This wouldn’t be the first time aero has been reined in, as I recall the FIM banned the enclosed “dust bin” bodywork in the late 50’s.

Wohooo, tripes? Count me in for a ride on that ole kite .
In all seriousness though. Dayum, they ugly. But then again I've been thinking the same of the formula 1 trucks for some years now and yet they still go on with those ugly af things.
