[kropotkin thinks...] - Guest Blog: Mat Oxley - Why MotoGP may become a drag for Suzu
If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.
----------------- Downforce aerodynamics is increasingly important in MotoGP but more downforce means more drag, which is a problem for the less powerful inline-four machines used by Suzuki and Yamaha Eagle-eyed fans may have observed something strange afoot during pre-season testing at Sepang and Mandalika… Aprilia, Ducati, Honda and KTM all had big aero on their bikes: large top wings, plus fairing sidepods, except the Aprilia which ran without sidepods. But Suzuki didn’t and when Yamaha tried a big wing and tiny sidepods at Sepang, its world champion Fabio Quartararo complained that the increased drag made the sluggish YZR-M1 even slower on top speed. Why is this? And does it matter?
