    Now the rules says about the bike being homologated, not the engine
    But then, thats not much of a difference right?

      Well consider this, you have a 10% less powerfull engine than an average Motogp one and your given 12 engines to run with 3 liters extra fuel in all races. this gives you the following advantages:
      1. starting from your base engine, you can push your engine to the limit that it lasts for less than 2 races only, while factory teams need to ensure theirs run for 3 races atleast. Is that difference big enough?
      2.3 liters extra fuel, gives you 2 advantages straight away, 1st you can worry less about managing fuel, so you can push your engine performance further and you can ignore electronics more for fuel management compared to factory teams.
      Considering Ideal situation, I would say a good rider or maybe the moto2 front runner's might be able to easily finish with CRTs machine within top 10.
      Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

        Gr8 Info....... But,

          Honestly, If i could answer this, I might have been able to predict this years champion too

          But you see, 2012 is going to be a different ball game all together. Right now everyone sees Honda as a benchmark as far as the 800cc bike is concerned. but no one knows what yamaha or ducati or suzuki or any of the CRT teams have in store for 2012 with the engine capacity changing and new rules coming in.
          Maybe the factories will just blast past the CRTs..or maybe the leverage on the CRT side might be enough to make 2012 a fight between CRTs only, with the factories struggling for podium or even top ten positions

            haha. those would have to be some really talented riders.

            Stoner, Rossi, Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Dovi, Spies behind CRT teams?

            that i'd like to see.

              for the first season(2012) I can bet that it can't happen..but I woudn't say it's impossible

                Amen.

                But U know. One man can come out of the odds if this turns out to be true. Rossi will still rock

                One more interesting thing is, I 'm like least bothered about this years MotoGp, anxiously waiting for the next season already.(Maybe cuz Rossi is not riding as expected and fact that no one is even close to pressurize the Moaner)

                • As some one said a while ago.. Electronics on the bikes is new industry within the automobile industries.. Motogp is more towards proving the advancement on the technology the factories have than projecting the riders skill. The result - boring races

                    • Ok boys !
                      If anyone does have a weekend to spare ( October 21 - 24 ) and want to see some fast motorcycles with some like minded ppl try to plan up Sepang 2011.

                      I ve booked air tickets at Welcome to AirAsia.com... Now everyone can fly
                      the deals for flights from chennai is great (8k incl return ) so just check it up and don t bother much abt the comfort its just a 3 - 4 hr flight.

                      GP ticket prices : http://www.malaysiangp.com.my/eticket/motogp/ maximum is around 1500 rs

                      Accomadation : Can plan it If anyone confirms. A friend of mine who s coming down from Hong kong ll book it. the price prob 2 - 3k( all three nights) on sharing !

                      the rest of the money ll be on commute in an out ot Malaysia 1k + Food 2k !

                      I have quoted the highest prices = 8k +1.5k + 3 + 3 = 16 k at the max ( excluding shopping n all that Xtras ) ! 4 months is fine enough to save it I guess

                      So let me knw if anyone else is willing ! sumit Sheel kong xionite prabhu etc etc ! THINK !

                        Thanks for the reminder, i'll be booking mine in a couple of weeks time.
                        my wife might be out of the city in october, just waiting for her confirmation from office about the exact dates, so we can plan accordingly.
                        I'll get in touch with you guys once done, but I might have a weeks stay there, starting 17th (oct) onwards

                          Hahaha! That was awesome, true Americano! My favorite lines:

                          1. "...Cal you b*****d..." (referring to his injury and missing his hometown race)

                          2. "Well, Jorge is a wh**e ... "

                          3. "...guess I am the old bas***d at the Yamaha"

                            seems like a good idea. will give it some serious thot.

                            P.S: AirAsia have a LOT of hidden costs.

                              I was planning this all along but looks like my yearly pilgrimage will be ending too close to the Sepang dates. But will surely give a thought and plan for it. It will be awesome to join you guys for this one.
