Yeah, I started another thread but I haven't heard this angle yet. After sleeping on it and waking up with a clearer mind it dawned on me. This entire tractioncontrolgate thing was manufactured for television. Feld is trying to turn this sport into NASCAR. From the intercepted radio communications between the teams to the camera zooming in on the rear brake caliper (looked like a normal caliper to me). Everyone was in on it and it was scripted. The guys in the booth, Erin, and James himself were in on it. They just punked all of us to get us all in a frenzy talking about it to help the ratings.
Yes.

I think you're way off buddy....well, off anyway. I think that whatever is on JS bike is legal, but being kept secret so naturally the whole pits is abuzz with speculation because no one will talk about what it really is and hey, lets face it, everyone loves a great controversy right?
Personally I think it;s some sort of data gathering sensor to help tune the FI.
Think triple decker diffuser's at the beginning of the 2009 F1 season. (banned for 2011)
Ferrari flex floor at the beginning of the 2007 season. (banned after 1 race because it was considered a moveable aero device and also revisited this past season with Red Bull and McLaren)
Think back to Toyota's inception to NASCAR and Michael Waltrip Racing having an illegal carburetor was it? (fined heavily)
New technology will always bring on the push for ways to use it. In most cases teams get away with just having to fix the problem if they can prove that the rules don't SPECIFICALLY say you can't do something. Until they get proved wrong it's just a bonus.
Pit Row
Other then that...
Then...He has the switch on his bars which we saw in the video, (i believe it was transworld) which wasnt mentioned. But they take the data and he could switch the curve on the FI and thus allowing him two power deliveries, one while the track is still in pretty good shape with traction and one for when the track is beat down and slick.
THIS! ^ ^ ^ ^
That's exactly what it is! It "monitors" so they can make adjustments......it does nothing "during" the riding / racing.
I had one idiot in another thread show me what exactly GET was.......and he STILL thinks it's a cheating device.
Remember this? : When they tried to DQ RC at one race because they found like .0002% of lead / bad fuel in post inspection? Which boils down to less than 2 drops in a 55 gallon drum..........and some people said.....it was still cheating.
Use your fucking heads!
