Those engines are just staggering. I'm amazed that the concept scales so large and still functions.

Fun stuff. Amazing to me is was getting to see see some crankshafts for engines in this class being made in Germany with skiving tools. Well past too big to grind the pins so they shave them. Never seen anything like. Even more amazing is a reciprocating engine with thermal efficiency of 50%....:cool:

Along the same lines is word that MotoGP intends to bring costs down with a new spec that eliminates one wheel...:gomer:
