If you really want a close batlle for the championship most every year in the end though, give every rider two or three "throwaway" rounds.
Edit - And watch the team tactics come into play.
It's so obvious.
I do think we need something to spice things up a bit.
Also, as much as people like to complain about the lappers, it adds an element to the racing closing up the gap up front. Less laps and there's another element gone.
And for anyone that is going to complain about the lappers, If we really wanted to get rid of them, you could just implement a rule that anyone who falls 30 seconds back of leader gets a flag to get off the track.
Ill take as much racing as I can get if it involves a dirtbike, I dont care if its SX,MX, Straight Rhythm, MXDN...Its all great and Ill never hope for less of it... The offseason kills me as it is as a huge fan
Pit Row
Grid starts, on the start straight (main event only).. im up for that.
since they want to keep timed qualifying so damn much.... stop making the start such a gamble and let them all go in rows of 5
with a grid start, you can officially work a strategy into the race.. based on angles of the first turn and such. which could then alter first turn designs.
but the status quo bangers, want the gate drop just to be a timing wfo drag race. at somepoint something has to give
Not everyone is a fan of the system because a rider could dominate the entire series up to the shootout, then get their points reset to 500+credits and then have 3 terrible performances/crashes/bad luck at the last 3 rounds and lose the championship that they dominated most of. What it does do, however, is add a lot more excitement, firstly you have the battle to be one of the all important top 6, and then you have a close battle for the championship during the last 3 rounds rather than a winner being crowned early, as often happens in other racing series.
It caused the 2011 championship to be decided on the last corner of the last lap of the last race of the season. Well worth a watch.
dungey is the champion
no one can hang with him
its over, bring on the outdoors
we need to rewrite the rule book because football has playoffs
dungey is burned out
dungey is on PEDs
dungey wants to start a family
suzukis are junk
suzukis are cursed
RCH sucks
roczen is just counting the days until he goes to hrc
aldon baker is awesome
aldon baker is evil and sacrifices orphans by tossing them into the sun
barcia is flaccid
if barcia does it, its dirty
if anyone else does it, its aggressive.
2) Skip outdoors? Yeah let's fall further behind the Euros at the MXoN who race 17 world championship MX rounds.
Mains 1, 3, 5 : 12 lap 450
Mains 2, 4: 10 lap 250
Intermission: 8 lap 125 two stroke
Maybe there could be extra points for sweeping all your mains, or some other gimmicky thing to add an extra layer of interest, or something else during intermission. But this framework, or something similar, is going to come one day, and I really always thought that was a pipe dream but it's talked about so much now among the fans that it just might happen. This format would also get far more people in the stands for day qualifying, I believe.
