GS Trophy Day SIX..More

Munich / Huilo-Huilo, Chile. Day five of the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012 was the competitionÔÇÖs second marathon stage, with a distance slightly over 400km and the complication of a border crossing to deal with as the riders returned to Chile. It was potentially even more of an ordeal given the arrival of rain that peppered the morning then deluged the afternoon. A special test had been scheduled for the late afternoon, after arrival in Huilo-Huilo, but due to the inclement weather this has been postponed until the morning of day six. Consequently there is no change to the GS Trophy leaderboard and Team Germany remain the competition leaders for the third consecutive day. ..More

Munich / Peuma Hue, Rio Negro Province, Argentina. Day four of the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012 was intended to be an ÔÇÿeasierÔÇÖ day given that itÔÇÖs sandwiched between two marathon stages. However it didnÔÇÖt quite turn out that way, with two riders injured in crashes during the enduro special test and minor spills on the leg of the course that ran up to the Ventisquero Negro (Black Glacier) on Mount Cerro Tronador, fortunately without further injuries. Through it all Team Germany remained focused on defending their lead, which they managed ÔÇô in fact they slightly extended it. ..More

mc24.no: BMW retained its lead
BMW GS will be the #1 seller of heavy weight bikes in Norway; however, the news has a bit of an edge. Sales for BMW and number 2 selling H-D were down when compared to last year. Husqvarna came in 8th and also showed a decline. At first glance, marques that showed sales increases are known for a lower price point. Marketing departments will spend hours over good coffee trying to figure out what numbers like these portend for larger markets. Down at the official Fly-Over-Land coffee shop the article was a good reminder to have enough lefse on hand for the holiday season.

racer.com: Button wants more accessible tires

I am not a big fan of Jenson Button but when someone has a point you should listen. I wonder if the FIM and other parties in rule development should listen to his point also.

The basic point, as I understand it, is to widen the operating range of the tires which would decrease the number of tire options for a race. In turn this would simplify design and setup for the field in particular P11 and beyond. Keep in mind in F1 (off the top of my head) you have Super Soft, Soft, Mediums, Hards, Intermediates and Rain tires. The application range of a designation is relatively static but designs and compounding of these tires is not over the term of a season. This increases the complexity and cost farther down the grid.

Over in SBK tire management is a major issue for teams. BMW, with the V1, struggled for several seasons with unpredictability of compounds and how they worked. Kawasaki and Syke's rankings in their respective championship hunts are a direct result of problems with tire management. In MotoGP you have Single, Double and Triple compound, hardness grading and a rage of rain gear donuts. To what end?

As the FIM, Dorna and the various manufacturers debate rules Button may have a point they should naw on.

MotGP is the prototype class so let them play with all the compound combinations they want. While doing that take the idea and widen the range of the combinations to limit the impact the thickness of a teams wallet has on the impact of compund changes.

SBK rules make it a street based racing class. Manufacturers use it as a development class. This puts SBK bikes in a netherworld between the pure prototypes over in MotoGP and SuperStock 1000 bikes. News articles suggest the parties are trying to define the netherworld a bit more and unify the definition for FIM sanctioned series world wide. In the discussions for SBK rules does Button's suggestion go far enough?

Racing tires are a yin and yang of low and high tech. They are hand laid and as such are an art form with some variability from doughnut to dooughnut. The high tech formulas for the compounds are the yang part; changing and hopefully improving over the season.

Choosing to start on slicks or a rain option is part of racing strategy. However, I am tired of pedantic Monday F-O-L Coffee Shop debates along the lines of : If only rider X had made a different tire choice... . I remember, with great distain, BMW V1 press releases discussing how with the same setup, same track conditions the same tire compound selection the bike handled drasticly different.

Keep slicks as part of the separation of SBK from Superstock while allowing the maximization of performance for development. Limit the compounds. Sell them world wide to SBK races making them more of a manufactured item of the street based world than the donuts of the netherworld of MotoGP prototypes. I would be fine with a slick, intermediate and rain tire that could be manufactured and sold to SBK racers around the world. There are cost savings to be gained by all parties and buck or two to be made by the sanctioned tire manufacturer. For the fans it levels the racing. For fans and riders the emphasis of development is put back on the bike, its electronic controls and rider skills; not unlike what goes on in our garages and when we head out to play for sport.

Munich.The BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2012 is complete. This, the third edition of the GS Trophy proved every bit as compelling, as challenging ÔÇô and ultimately, as unifying ÔÇô as the previous two. The biggest yet, it brought 15 teams with riders representing 19 nations together for a seven-day 2000 kilometre adventure across the Andean high country of the Chile-Argentina borderlands. Riding over terrain that was sometimes no more than a loamy single-track path through a forest, other times a hard pack high-speed piste across the vast open plateaux, the riders battled through clouds of volcanic ash, were exhausted by sun-baked afternoons, then soaked by rain and chilled by the cool of the mountains in this time of early spring in Southern Hemisphere. ..More

When the first production version of the BMW i3 rolls off the assembly line in Leipzig in late 2013, it will mark the provisional culmination of 40 years of development work at BMW. It all began at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, where the BMW starting line-up included two electrically powered test vehicles. The converted BMW 1602 models served as a means of transport for the members of the organising committee, and were also deployed as support and camera cars in various long-distance events. However, there could be no questioning that lead batteries weighing 350 kilograms and with a range of around 60 kilometres (37 miles) were hardly ideal for a production car. BMW therefore launched a series of research and development projects with the aim of bringing an improved and, above all, more efficient technology for electric drive systems onto the road. ..More
