Just checked to make sure Estoril 2006 was on that list, and hell it was

See if you can find Max in the 250cc era, he was amazing then. mid-late 90s 500cc wasn't fun but 250cc was loving amazing. Rossi/Biaggi/Kato/Waldmann, and Tetsuya Harada, who continuously gets underrated as one of the best 90s Japanese bike racers.

I'm a big fan of that 2001 250cc season that's basically Kato vs Harada. I actually thought there was a bigger age gap between them, though it was "only" 6 years, but it still did come across as one of the best older Japanese riders passing the torch to the best young one. The 1993 "FIM GP" (held in Jarama to replace a canceled race) where Harada won the 250cc title is amazing, by the way. Find highlights if you can.

Dudley posted:And even then World TCR immediately turned into *nod nod wink wink* we're not a manufacturer team honest. it's almost like performance-balanced series should just use spec cars and not try to constantly balance a bunch of different models BTCC is probably one of the more successful ones and even they had dumb poo poo like those years where a team would win nothing in the first half of the year and get BOPed into the best team on the grid in the second half, which never doesn't feel artificial.

it's especially a problem in BOP series where teams have budgets and/or are manufacturers, where the entire series newsfeed becomes an endless series of BOP complaints and accustations WTCC was maybe the worst i've ever seen of this, at it's worst, the series consisted of SEAT 1-2-3-4-5 one week, BMW 1-2-3-4-5 one week, Chevrolet 1-2-3-4 one week, repeat et al

I mean, the latter route would have been more keeping with history than BOP

algebra testes posted:It changed, some years it was only Audis but at least there were customer teams, some years they'd be up against the Team To Beat Audi who would often explode in the race leading to a comfortable win, and occasionally they had a team put up a real fight and run them real close. yeah, my first LM was 2005 and that one was an Audi semi-works team versus Pescarolo. Not exactly thrilling but it was still fun to watch. IIRC some of the Pescarolos put up a decent fight before mechanical issues. but yeah there's been several Le Mans periods which have been a single dominant manufacturer so having a 24 Hours of Toyota would technically be more "accurate" than running BOP at what is supposedly the top endurance racing event of the year
