Yes I believe you can freshen the engines but alot of these prototype engines have very exact tolerances and once you start milling away the ctlinders they get week. Heaven forbid you crack the head of block, put a rod into the cyl wall. I dunno what kind of parts are covered either. mean titanium valves and valve springs get used up real quick, crank bearings and pistion pins see alot of abuse at 17000 rpm. Cranks and cams get worn at a frightful pace. Imagine a crank seizing while leaned over at 140?

Well hopefully this means friendlier racing, I hate seeing people get bumped off.
And by that what I really mean to say is I want to Rossi beat everyone with a 30+sec gap fair n square. |

Some of the best racing is when there is bumping!

![]() How about Biaggi bumping Rossi then Rossi passing Biaggi at the same spot then giving him the finger at full lean. Just sayin.

I was posting exapmles of close(touching) racing. I would have posted a pic of the Rossi Biaggi incident, but it is impossible to find, so I just described that one.

Don't know about that, but since you posted the Gibernau incident. I will go record and comment to say Gibs was being the douche here and Rossi was in the green.(and shortly after Gibernau was on the rocks!)

I think it will be opposite. The leader will probably pull a 4 second gap and immediately start sandbaggin to save his engine. Switch to an easier setting and cruise until he gets a challenge that makes him up the pace...
