Who winning the presidential race

You know which one wins this one but you'll watch this anyway. Usually, drag races are orchestrated to see which of the competing cars are the quickest in a quarter-mile, straight-line sprint. Aside from a test of acceleration, it's also a test of traction and power-to-weight ratio, as well as a bit of an assessment of the drivers' skills in launching and gear-shifting. But this weekend's drag race is a tad different. The four-cylinder Toyota Supra is out to prove that it's worthy of carrying the badge, and what better way to do that than to compete against the 3.0L Supra – both old and new.

The six-time MotoGP podium finisher joins the factory Honda squad from KTM in 2021, but will have just five days to get to know the RC213V in March before the opening round in Qatar. Espargaro should have had two days on the Honda at a post-season test at Jerez last November to have his first experience of the bike, but this outing was scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He also lost a day from the six originally scheduled for the 2021 pre-season when the three-day Sepang outing was cancelled due to the virus. Marquez confirmed on Tuesday he will not take part in the Qatar test as he continues to recover from a third operation on a broken arm. Though Espargaro will have test rider Stefan Bradl and LCR duo Alex Marquez and Takaaki Nakagami on track with him, he admits he “needs” Marquez, as the only way for him to improve on the bike “is to learn from the best rider in the world”. “I’m going to arrive to Qatar a little bit earlier, three days before the test, … [Read more...] about Espargaro: Pressure “high” to learn Honda without Marquez

The Tickford ace came under fire following the single-lap dash for pole after it came to light that he dragged dirt onto the track at the esses on his in-lap. Chaz Mostert, who was next up in the Shootout, had a huge moment when he got to that part of the track on his hot lap, while Shane van Gisbergen also lost time in the second sector on his pole-winning effort. Following suggestions from rivals that it was a tactical move, Waters had to front driving standards advisor Craig Baird to explain his actions. He was subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing. Expanding on the matter after yesterday's race, Waters said it was a simple lapse of concentration and in no way tactical. He also said he apologised to both Mostert and van Gisbergen once he's seen the footage. “On my in lap, I was just kind of fat-arming it and over Skyline I took too much kerb and grabbed a bit of the dirt,” Waters explained. “I didn’t really think anything of it at the time because I … [Read more...] about Waters apologised for dirt-slinging Shootout gaffe
