MotoGP is awesome! Off to Phillip Island next month again! Can't wait.

But yeah Cicero you're right in a way but both are designed to be pretty much the same, it depends on how the crew goes on the day I guess. Just like MotoGP and F1 if the Rider/Driver doesn't perform then they don't win... Just because you have the better Boat, Car or Bike doesn't mean you can race it better than Rossi (MGP), Hamilton (F1) or TNZ.

1352945 2013-09-10 00:06:00 I would have thought they would design their boat to be better than the other, not much point in being the same.

I am sure the other German who won everything for years had a better car, he was good but not that good.

1352946 2013-09-10 00:14:00 If you look at shots they show on TV of under each boat they are slightly different with where the ropes are going or whatever (sorry not too up with Sailing stuff) there are some minor differences to the boats, but it's still the team that make the difference on the day.

You talking about Schumaka (spelling? lol), he was good in his prime. But I've heard rumors he had track layouts changed to suit his racing styles or something but w/e.

GO TNZ! 6 to go!!!

The difference in lap times of the fastest car and the slowest in F1 is probably less then 1 second.

True. As with MotoGP - it just depends on who is doing the consistantly faster lap times which in turn extends their lead to X amount of seconds.

1352949 2013-09-10 21:33:00 The bastards have blocked all the Youtube feeds today. Guess TVNZ complained and now all the HD feeds are regionally blocked. The TVNZ feed is crappy SD. paulw (1826)

The TV NZ live feed on the net was OK here ( apart from the ads), in fact I had it playing on the PC and watching it on TV as well. The internet version was actually about 3 seconds AHEAD of the TV coverage. (Telstra/Vodafone Cable)

Guess ADSL cant handle the load :p

1352951 2013-09-10 21:58:00 I found the TVNZ feed was very soft. Loaded up the AC app on my fone / tablet and watched the US feed on that. Picture Quality looked way better. Wonder how long before TVNZ gets that blocked as well.. paulw (1826)
1352952 2013-09-10 22:08:00 Why don't you just watch it on TV1 =\

WE WON 1ST RACE THIS MORNING! Behind by 8 seconds at second mark then over took before 3rd and finished 1 minute 4 seconds ahead!!!
