motogp

Pedrosa reigns in Motgei with Lorenzo stuck in second while teammate Ben Spies yammared on about dnf due to brakes and Bautista celebrating in third. The outstanding win for Pedrosa out shined Stoner's fifth place racing return behind Tech 3 Yamaha's Dovizioso in fourth. Ducati had to be satisfied with a seventh for Rossi and eigth for Hayden in Japan. As fare as Stoner is concerned, he is just taking his time in his return.

Espargaro toped the Edwards, the second CRT machine across the line, leaving the CRT leader De Puniet has a weekend to forgert.

Enter the PR writiers and their Sunday post race press releases to put their spin on the Motegi race resuslts and the Rider Championship standings

Dorna began the race weekend trying to explain the racing impact, or lack of, with the back of house org chart consolidation of Dorna and Infront by Bridgepoint. Any changes to the SBK series will happen in the future and in conjunction with the FIM, manufacturers and teams. Dorna finished the weekend talking about changes to MotoGP qualifying for 2013.

Free practice sessions remain at three but they are not free they are now qualifying in a system that sounds like a watered down SBK cocktail made with a bit of F1 colour and 151 MotoGP rum. No doubt much will be made of this and its impact on racing. In morning discussions at the the Official Fly-Over-Land Coffee Shop we decided it has more to do with packagaing footage from qualifying into a one or two hour made for sale to TV 20 race mini series, than changing MotoGP racing in any significant manner. YMMV, but then that is what Bench Racing is about.

In those new qualifying sessions will CRT machines have new tyres to run on?

Formula 1

F1 and local race promoters are concerned with the problem of getting fans to come to the Korean Yegoman circuit to see Vettel's victory. Race analysis sees the rest of the field wilting from the pressue of the resurgent Red Bull team.

During the post race press conference Vettel and P2 Webber and P3 Alonso talked about the race. Meanwhile the other team and drivers quotes were about how their champaing and caviar dreams tasted in the aftermath of the Korean race.

Vettel takes the Drivers Championship lead with 100 points still up for grabs. Can he make it three titles in a row? ÔÇ£We'll just keep pushing onÔÇØ was his response. Team boss Horner thinks the champ is in better form than ever. All of this only adds a spark to the rumor fires of Vettel to Ferrari in 2014 which Ferrari continues to deny. 2014 is a long way away in the F1 universe. The number 2 pracing horse saddle looks ready to be filled once again by [/url=http://www.thef1times.com/news/display/06863 ]Massa[/url].

Elsewhere on the grid Sauber will have Hulkenberg and Gutierrez in the cockpit for 2013.


McLaren was absent from the podium with Hamilton limping home and Button blustering about Kobayashi and Perez.

The six BMW drivers have made a lasting impression on the DTM thanks to a succession of strong performances over the course of the 2012 season. In doing so, they follow in the footsteps of the legendary drivers who caused a stir at the wheel of BMW racing cars in this series between 1984 and 1992. Among these were Harald Grohs (DE) and 1987 and 1989 champions Eric van de Poele (BE) and Roberto Ravaglia (IT). Between them, the trio notched up countless wins in the DTM. Another thing they have in common is that all three were only mildly surprised by the level of BMWÔÇÖs success at the past nine races. ..More

Barreda who made a mistake some nine km (six miles) into the race and dropped back several places, was able to deal well with the situation and managed to pull back to within three minutes of the winner. Goncalves put in a good race to come in seventh, and Fish made a good comeback in eighth. Barreda keeps a firm grip on the overall fourth place and Goncalves fifth. ..More

Transport Canada Recall # 2012347 \
On certain motorcycles, the regulator/rectifier can overheat and prevent battery charging. Once the battery is fully discharged, the motorcycle will stall. Engine stalling would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the rider’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the regulator/rectifier.

Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain won their first stage victory on the TE449RR in the Morocco Rally. Paulo Goncalves, the team’s Portuguese rider, took the Erfoud to Zagora stage that featured 291 km (182 miles) of special test. Goncalves finished just three seconds ahead of rival Rodrigues. A great performance too from Joan Barreda who came in fourth in the stage and now sits in third in the overall standings after three days of racing. Australian Matt Fish finished eighth, proving himself to be extremely quick in his first rally on the HusqvarnaTE449RR by Speedbrain. A special mention should go to Marc Coma who had an accident half way into the special test. We’d like to wish him a speedy recovery before the next Dakar 2013. Tomorrow looks forward to the fourth of six stages with 250 km of special test and a 162 km transfer. ..More

The Mothership

Over the course of the opening weekend of the DTM, 142,000 fans packed into the stands in Hockenheim (DE) to follow BMW’s return to the series. At the end of a magnificent season that included four wins and four pole positions, BMW Team Schnitzer, BMW Team RBM and BMW Team RMG return to the 4.574-kilometre circuit for the grand finale. Buoyed by the support of its fans, BMW has been able to far surpass its own expectations in the 2012 DTM and, with Bruno Spengler (CA) and BMW Team Schnitzer, still has a chance of winning both the drivers’ and team titles going into the final race...More

BMW Team RLL will contest its fourth “Petit Le Mans” race at Road Atlanta (US) this weekend with only one goal – a victory. The two previous season’s American Le Mans Series (ALMS) season-ending 1000-mile race was run with championships at stake. A fourth place finish in 2010 and a third place finish in 2011 secured BMW consecutive GT class manufacturers’ titles. ..More

Today, on the fifth anniversary of the opening of the BMW Welt, the BMW Group gave the press a sneak preview of its new brand experience. The official opening weekend for all visitors will be on 20-21 October 2012. From now on, the brand worlds of MINI, Rolls-Royce and Husqvarna Motorcycles, and the sub-brands BMW i, BMW M and MINI John Cooper Works will be part of the BMW Welt experience, as well as the BMW and BMW Motorrad brands. The BMW Group will also present its own company exhibition for the first time in the Double Cone. Therefore, Bavaria’s most popular tourist attraction will now house the entire BMW Group brand spectrum. ..More

Mountain View, CA – October 17, 2012 … The BMW Group announced that it will join the University of Southern California Center for Body Computing (CBC).

Frankfurt am Main. Intelligent driving that saves energy and increases safety always means anticipating what’s ahead, too. An array of sensors is today already at work in vehicles to help drivers do just that. The anticipation “horizon” of these sensors is often limited, however, and confined to the vehicle’s immediate surroundings. “Car-to-X communication greatly extends the anticipation horizon and will in future allow drivers to look far into the distance, see things that are hidden, and even peer round several corners,” explains Karl-Ernst Steinberg, Manager Projects IT Drive at BMW Group Research and Technology. ..More

jsonline.com: Now the official matress of the Green Bay Packers

The Verlo Mattress Factory has been named the official mattress of the Green Bay Packers.

The NFL and its teams, owners and players have made a bundle of money through all sorts of endorsement deals in addition to a killing on TV deals and more. For all the money the NFL brings in what is known as football in the rest of the world rakes in even more.

This is the world that Bridgepoint and its minions Dorna and Infront deal in. When Dorna and Infront were independent minions they played minor roles in that world. Bridgepoint purchsed them as much or more for their football assets as the fact the were racing promoters. Bridgepoints ROI will be realized in the promotions running up to the next World Cup. The fall out for motorcycle racing fans is Bridgepoint will want to maximize their ROI and or favorite form of racing and motorcycling in general may benefit.

How Bridgpoint consolidates and then promotes its new racing empire will have major impacts on the sport and the industry for years. As you try to sort out rules changes, racing calendars fights over ECU units and more keep in mind more is at stake than racing rules. Bridgpoint is putting together racing packages to promote and in turn make a profit from. In the process sponsors will be attracted, promotional oportunities uncovered. Assuming this influx of cash into the sport the possiblities for growth are encouraging. The potential for other things grows too.

The vision of Pete Rozelle brought a football emprie to the NFL. That empire has world championships, Super Bowls, parody, sideline TV directors that tell referes when commercials are done and the game can resume and offical matresses of teams in small markets like Green Bay Wisconson. It may be a long time before your local BMW S1000RRv?? racing team has an official team matress. Between now and then as you try and sort out the coming changes keep the business plan in mind as much as your racing preferences.

I wonder if Team BMW Motorrad will have cool bedding for their matresses like Packers have for their offical matresses?

OAN BARREDA SECOND IN THE MOROCCO RALLY
The fourth stage of the Morocco Rally proved to be particularly tricky due to the constant changes in terrain which included soft sand, stony ground and the light but treacherous dust know as ÔÇ£fesh feshÔÇØ. The Husqvarna Rallye Team by Speedbrain knew straight away that they were going to be in for a hazard-filled day.

FWIW

A NC700X moved in about a mile down the street. It has out of state plates. My guess is it belongs to a one of the college students that live in the area. None of the network of local bike owners seems to know much about it beyond what we see looking at it on our evening walks.

In person it is one of the most boring looking bikes I have seen in a very long time. It appears efficient, with decent looking build quality. It is very stylish in a latter day UJM boring way not in a 70's we're going to take over the world UJM kind of way.

Back then I started on a series of small rice burners. A Kawasaki A7 Avenger was my benchmark bike in the move up the cc scale. Then made the switch to Brit bikes before a series of UJM 750s then ended up here. The early bikes defined what I would spend the rest of my life searching for. The Brit bikes were great fun in a a grip the tank with your knees, very tightly, as you scream through the twisty bits but took up too much time with things other than riding. You could ride the boring snot out of the UJMs because there was a lot of boring to be ridden out of them. That was just fine because it meant we were riding and not doing all the stuff we had to do with the Brit bikes instead of ridding. The odd thing is that as boring as they were out of the box they begged to have things done to and with them. Change the bars, exhaust, tuning uncork the intakes and race the things or at least ride them as quickly as their flexible flyer frames filled with inline fours and your skills would allow you to go. The Roundel bikes have a Teutonic version of Brit character and begged to be saved from boredom like the UJMs.

The new Honda, on the other hand, appears to want to be ridden twenty-nine in a 30 mph zone. Maybe even twenty-eight not thirty-one or the speed limit plus the five they may give you and the five you take just because you want to. Twenty seven maybe because you desperately want to be the one get 74 mpg when the magazines are talking about 73; not because you have all the time in the world. If you had that much time you would do twenty-six and go for eighty mpg. Boring in a you should eat your vegetables and french fries and onion rings at the local drive in don't count kind of way.

I am a big fan of middle weight bikes. Given the chance I would take the Honda for a ride. I am an admitted bike slut and will ride anything with wheels. I eat green vegetables and use the Turdmobile's cruise control to keep me at or just below the speed limit. Yet I am not going out of my way to get a ride on one. Now if I could get my hands on a CBR250R I might ride and get some mozzarella sticks for dairy to go along with the onion rings for vegetables. Then if I had a California burger at the drive in the lettuce is sort of green so lets go riding again. Then there are several SuperMoto looking things in the area. CBR, SM...gawd its going to be a long winter. Better take the Roadster for a ride get a small fry and a senior coke to hold me over.

Pankaj Ghemawat: Actually, the world isn't flat

It may seem that we're living in a borderless world where ideas, goods and people flow freely from nation to nation. We're not even close, says Pankaj Ghemawat. With great data (and an eye-opening survey), he argues that there's a delta between perception and reality in a world that's maybe not so hyperconnected after all.

As a result of these discussions and tests on the car, the decision was made to start organising this drive.
