Yeah, in the MotoGP show, there are subtitles 90% of the time. Doesn’t matter for the races but I think it makes the show less approachable than Drive to Survive.

Motorsport TV rights are just bewildering. I have Prime and I cannot watch an Amazon produced show because that Rupert Murdoch fucker owns the MotoGP rights in Australia.

I really would like to know their justification for how this car is legal given that there are now rules in place banning this exact fiasco from happening again.

The rules were about using other people's designs I think, nothing said you can't take loads of photos of another teams car and wholesale copy it, as long as you do the CAD drawings yourself and stick to the cost cap, CFD limits, wind tunnel time etc.

a rare good article from The Race posted:

The rules accept the principle that it is “permissible to be influenced by the design or concept of a competitor’s LTC using information that must potentially be available to all competitors”, but there are limits to this.

The regulations state that such information can only be obtained at events or tests, with “reverse engineering” also outlawed.

Reverse engineering is defined as four processes, which are listed in Article 22.3.3:

a) The use of photographs or images, combined with software that converts them to point clouds, curves, surfaces, or allows CAD geometry to be overlaid onto or extracted from the photograph or image

b) The use of stereophotogrammetry, 3D cameras or any 3D stereoscopic techniques

c) Any form of contact or non-contact surface scanning

d) Any technique that projects points or curves on a surface so as to facilitate the reverse-engineering process

That’s a very permissive definition, I think, if you’re allowed to look at a picture, draw it, test it a little and then end up with roughly the same thing using a bunch of dudes from fiverr instead of software. Like, there’s nothing saying you can’t take a high quality picture from front, sides and rear and then print it out full size and use that and some rulers to make your model, right?

Right. I assume the idea is so you have to put in some actual work if you want to wholesale copy a car, rather than just feeding some photos to a computer and beep boop beep bop you've made a worse Mercedes.
