I remember Freddie Spencer racing Hondas NR500 GP bike back in the day....just a little bit too far ahead of its time. If I remember rightly it revved to 26000 rpm and the oval, twin con rod pistons were to give it the same combustion area as a V8, and all normally aspirated. Were they ceramic pistons or am I pissed? The NR750 bores were ceramic coated, pistons were aluminium spam tins and the problem were the piston ring sealing at such high rev/ heat. The road bikes they couldn't sell / overproduced were used as Marshall bikes at the Suzuka 8hr for a few years, probably sat in Hondas museum now as a great success! |

I knew ceramics were involved somewhere, and for the record I was pissed  |

Boullier:- 'If my aunty had balls she'd be my uncle' en.as.com/en/2017/03/14/other_sports/1489525992_582825.htmlIn other news, if I had plenty of cash I wouldn't have to get up for work at 05:30 tomorrow morning. McLaren are fucked if that is the best grasp the management have on their predicament. |

So, what's the new rules for this year? Main rule chsnges are: Wider tyres More downforce Drivers, not engineers to set clutch settings, so hopefully more variable starts. |
