Oh shit, the Coronavirus?!

If that was what the OP meant it could have led to a respectful discussion of the guiding philosophies behind racing rules and regulations. How closely different series should balance the desire for performance versus fidelity to the original vehicles is certainly debatable.

Racing suits do squeeze down your package quite a bit, but when you’re sliding…

You know, there are probably subjects where I’m vastly more knowledgeable than you. Should you ever ask a question I consider basic that would be the perfect time to pour on the condescension But I don’t do that, to you or others, for two reasons: fear of mockery kills the spirit of inquiry and it’s an asshole move.

For example, I’m just under 6ft with a 32" inseam and I can get both feet…

If you think BMW has Carbon Fiber availability you should check out Ducati. On my 748, Carbon Fiber Tank, Fairing, Seat, Hugger, Fender, Headlight Surround, chain guard. Magnesium Rims, Magnesium Fairing stay, Magnesium Triple Clamp, Lightweight clutch, lightweight flywheel, Titanium Rear brake disk. It was 405lbs on…
