I raced at moto arena tonight and won. My car had a standard chassis, standard gearbox, standard gears and the competition was pretty tough!! In reality though, it was only one mistake splitting us all. The car in standard trim does work and doesn't 'need' options.
The longer Chassis idea was actually tried in pre-season testing last year before the car was released. However at the time it was felt that the advantage was minimal, if at all. Hence it wasn't pursued. We could have spent another 6 months testing it but then everyone would have complained that the release date kept moving back.
The gearbox issues didn't arise in testing prior to release, and trust me there was a lot of it done. I probably did 3 average seasons worth of testing on my car, and that was in all kinds of conditions.
I'm not saying it's all perfect, because nothing ever is. There were gearbox issues that arose, but I'd like to think they were handled as well as possible. To say there wasn't enough testing done with no insight is just wrong.
