Unless you are gonna ban people from having new tyres each meeting you aren't going to stop that either. As it;'s racing you will get people doing both the above because in racing winning matters and some people will spend as required. |
Some people. SOME people. *SOME* people.
You said it yourself, three time. SOME people.
Therefore, not ALL of the people will have tyre warmers. Not ALL of the people will have new tyres every round. Not ALL of the people will be turning up in motorhomes.
So you've raced and spent loads. Well done.
While I appreciate your comments on how much *you've* spent wanting to win the series which *you* race in, it's not relevant here for me, and probably quite a few of the people who intend to participate in Desmo Due.
Another difference between Desmo Due and a normal series like mini twins is that the number of rounds has been reduced to help minimise costs. There's also a lot longer between races to ensure people have time to prep the bike themselves should they need to.
I'm sure anyone who filled their form in had a quick guesstimate as to how much it would cost them and have made the decision based on that, so please don't try and preach to those who know what they've let themselves in for.
Let people work it out for themselves! If we all listened to the advice given out - good and bad - nobody would ever make their own decisions and learn for themselves!
