        Earlier the 1 hour of qualifying used to get very boring. Because in the first 45 minutes nobody chased times and only worked on setup. Only the last 15 minutes used to be interesting.

        The new format has just streamlined that. Also it hopes to remove the problems of the CRTs being too slow and coming in the way of a prototype on a hot lap, which had too often last season.

        • Two time Motogp Champion Casey Stoner finally announced that he will be racing V8 supercars. A long time dream of his.

          Stoner -

          On his chances of ever returning to Motogp -

          "I had no intentions of going back to the sport,"

          "But if I see the sport changing dramatically, to the point that it is interesting, there is every chance.

          "But the way I see it going, there is no chance."
          On the reason why he retired from the sport -

          "We got spat at (by fans), they tried to knock us off scooters going from the motor homes to the pits, everything like that. Unfortunately they didn't like my honesty in the paddock.

          "That was part of it, but more it was the direction of the sport.

          "We lost a rider a couple of years ago (Marco Simoncelli) and with in a month it was like it never happened. They want to see biff and barge and they don't realise our lives are on the line.

          "We became puppets in that world and it had nothing to do with racing."

            Marc Marquez gets his name into MotoGP rule book for wrong reasons. Here's one of the many instances:

              but with the new format, they will get less time to arrive at the final setup for the race...won't they..??

                Nope. They are getting the same amount of time. Except now the duration is fixed. x amount of time for setting up your bike, which will not be timed. And the last 15 minutes in which they can ride like mad men and cause a jump in TRPs And with Marquez bulldozing people during practice and qualifying, expect some 'strong' words from WC Lorenzo!
