Just curious what the vibe is around here regarding the new Open Class in MotoGP. I haven't been around the board much since selling my ride during the recession, and getting bored of the parade that MotoGP turned into. However, this Open Class has me pretty amped about watching racing again. With Ducati signing on, Espargaro already being competitive, and Kawasaki and Suzuki likely suitors for 2015, I think the grid could get pretty interesting, and damn competitive. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing the control ECU becoming mandatory for everyone at some point (which Ezpeleta has indicated will eventually happen).

For years it seemed the universal complaint was, "Get rid of the electronics, let the racers race." If everyone has the same electronics package, I think that satisfies the argument and essentially levels the playing field. Exciting times.

What are the thoughts among other CSC members? I'm just curious.
