>>2006445>>2006489OK, to avoid any more retarded accusations of it being too similar to the current competition, and to put a point on what I was saying so that you can't continue to misinterpret "does not fucking break and you can't maintain it outside stages" to mean "only breaks enough to need 5 backup bikes and you have a team of mechanics"; mandate internal gears, belts, disc brakes and/or clutch-driven dynamo hubs attached to resistive heaters could be used as brakes.
The point is; utility-oriented, low-maintenance, tough bikes, given a reason for manufacturers to bother their fucking arses developing and making economically competitive, instead of shit no-one needs. Also set price limits for all installed wear items like brake pads, spokes, belts, tires, oil, etc. based on what's available at some date the year it's running. Set it at like the top 15%, so they can have nice stuff, but no halo products other than the main mechanical elements.
And to avoid rule-chipping goblins; to be race legal the main mechanical elements must be available for sale with warranties and service intervals comparable to other products in the market.
Basically touring car championship but for bikes. But it wouldn't be the whole calender, just a qualification event which people racing the big events had to complete or make an earnest attempt to complete.
