I honestly think if Dorna wants Ducati back in it, they have to drop the bore limit.
A supershort stroke V2 or V4 (not L) would allow the motor to be more compact allowing it to be pushed forward in the chassis.
A superquadroquadro ;)

They will never get the engine speed they need with a 2 cylinder and they aren't restricted from a more compact engine by the bore limitation on a 4 cylinder layout. In fact, increasing the bore might even limit their compactness with respect to engine weight placement. Honda is having no such problems. Rather it seems that there are other self imposed limitations that they should deal with apart from the ones set by Dorna and the Manufacturers association.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Ducati currently has help with their Aluminum frame though, so I'm not sure how much Audi can help. We'll see...I hadn't thought of it that way.

no...actually Ducati has their same in house designers at Corse working in CAD oriented programs and shuffling those designs off to Suter to have them built (and then suffering the waiting game that they are as I stated before)...so IMHO as I understand it...they kinda really don't...so what Raux is suggesting is just as strong an idea as anything else we have speculated....but it will be interesting indeed to see if the revision that is being implemented at Laguna actually provides any kind of result even though all commentaries post testing up to this point seem to point at maybe not so much....

Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow

well...then I guess we'll throw out the idea of Hayden to Tech3 then as long as we are lobbing rumor grenades out there...LOL

I'd hate to see 'em go, but there are worse jobs.

That'd spice up WSBK a bunch!

Basically would ruin motogp as a viewing experience... even worse than it is right now (barring moto2/3)

I cant see Dovi getting a gp championship but he would be pretty competitive in WSBK I feel... same with Hayden.

what if iannone and espargaro were there?  or viñales, fenati, and (the other) rossi in a couple years.  there's plenty to be excited about in the gp pipeline.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
