The lower teams operate on a shoe string budget, the top teams don't need the money - it's easier for the top teams to find sponsorship money. If you only want 5 teams in the championship then yeah just give the top team the purse. The prize money can be seen as a resource or reward and in my opinion it should be an…

The teams value the constructors championship trophy anyway.

The difference in payout should be a token one- steps of $250,000 per team, top gets like $60,000,000, second gets $59,750,000 etc

The 350 is going to share a common-type with the 330, that's huge. Or at least not good for Boeing. It would have been close to the 767 and 787 being a common type rating. Oh well.

Less embarrassing than Kenny from the Block's first corner spin/crash/save in Spain. At the first corner, God bless him.

I was thinking, "the back side of Mid-Ohio is a lot darker than I thought and where's the carousel??"

And if that's THE MOST embarrassing crash of the Baja 1000 hats off to the field.

Sorry, he was steering.

I was not expecting $50,000. It's basically a hammer, right? Overpowered and yet heavy, not exactly a MotoGPish replica. (If Kawasaki was in MotoGP.) What was their Hayabusa competitor? It's basically a steroided version of that.

I like Rocky because Stallone is credited as the writer. And they did such a good job making him look tall I had no idea he wasn't 6'4" for the longest time.

Which is nice.

It also gets better the more you watch it. I hated the movie the first time I saw but by the third time it was one of my favorites. It grows on you. Kingpin is also on Netflix and is almost as good. That one has Bill Murray so it's got that going for it.

Yeah they over-engineer everything.

Yep the test is no thrust reversers but in reality they would use them.

Riccardo was the big surprise to me. If you check their record JEV and Ricci were neck and neck for results. Does that mean JEV could do the same at RBR because Riccardo could do no better/had any influence at STR.

The only reason I can't bitch about the points system is because I think MotoGPs and WSBK work pretty damn good and they give out points to P15. But the current system makes points records a joke.

A lot better than this guy.

And it still sounds miles better than this years BS.

Points when only the top 6 got points!
