Jonain WSBK viikonloppuna hiljakkoin näytettiin Rean grafiikkaa ajon aikana. Ainakin kahdessa mutkassa käytti ykköstä ja meni avauksessa melkein heti täyskaasulle, eikä edes keula noussut. Eli elektroniikkaan nojaten aika vahvasti, liekö mitään erityisiä rajoituksia, vs GP homologoitu ecu. Ja onpa heillä erikoisliimakumit ajan tekoon.
WSBK:ssa on kaikillä käsittääkseni oma äly. Säännöt luovat luonnollisen rajoitteen hienostuneisuudelle.
