Mine would have to be Fuji before they demolished that psychotic banked turn. The USAC cars went there (as well as Japanese F2000 cars) but F1 arrived after the first remodel. Sugo is nice though.

When you design your dream track can you make it so there is tarmac bordered by white lines, then kerbs, then either a gravel run off or a wall.

Harada was really good. e) I also love the 2001 250cc season where he plays the role of the old veteran challenging Daijiro Kato. What a loss Kato was.

There is a mural/shrine to Kato near Suzuka's main straight. I feel that Japan should have produced a champion rider/driver by now but for whatever reason it hasn't. Not sure what the issue is. Human Grand Prix fucked around with this message at 20:15 on Nov 17, 2017 |

I sometimes firmly believe that 90s 250cc was the actual peak of grand prix motorcycle racing. There were a few years (especially like 96-97) where people were more into the 250s than 500cc. One of my least favorite things Dorna have done with MotoGP is explicitly make Moto2/Moto3 feeder series to MotoGP. The small bikes shouldn't be feeder bikes, they should be like weight classes in boxing.

Ya I'm not really a fan of them forcing this and it's pretty clear that it doesn't work because all the classes have fairly distinct and separate characteristics. It'd be much better off being billed as different types of racing.

Wirth1000 posted:lmao @ turkey. The Turkish Grand Prix track sucked loving hard. Everyone raves about that one turn but the rest of it is garbage. Yeah, turn 8 is the only good and memorable part of that track, the rest of it is like one of those fantasy fan-made "ultimate F1 tracks" that consist entirely of great corners from tracks all over the world strung together, because that is exactly what Hermann Tilke did. I seem to remember approximations of the Senna esses from Interlagos, both Curva Grande and Parbolica, and Eau Rouge being included in the layout. As if you can laser scan and construct reproductions of those corners anywhere and expect them to retain the same magic they posess in their original setting (hint: that magic comes as much from the context of the track as it does from the physical tarmac).

Wasn't Moto2 marginally fast than MotoGP bikes at some tracks at one point in time? I may just be thinking of top speed but it's a shame that they don't just sell Moto3 as a different kind of racing to MotoGP and have some actual skill build up in that class.

Open wheel suffers from it as well but it's kind of always been that way and I think if there was less focus on getting to F1 you wouldn't see people just jumping into a Prema in a lower category and running away with the championship like happens now. As poo poo as Palmer was he probably could make a decent career in F2 or F3 if it wasn't just a pay system.
