Change is coming to GP thick and fast

Anyone ever heard the phrase "act in haste, repent at leisure"? It seems there is no Spanish translation.

Well, here's my effort:

"si actuas o haces algo muy de prisa, tendras bastante mas tiempo para lamentarlo"

The MotoGP tabloid press is reporting that when testing starts in Sepang next week the management will be meeting behind the scenes to rush through a radical set of proposals to limit costs over the next two years.

There's nothing new in the leaked proposals - all have been discussed on this and other blogs before. What is upsetting, but not surprising, is the speed of these changes - big mistakes are going to be made. And whilst all these changes are intended to cut costs, arguably the biggest factor in escalating costs is the modern tendency for the rules to change year in year out. Adapting to new rules in a competitive way is always going to add costs.

The list of changes to be signed off in Sepang can be found here.

For non-Italian speakers Kropotkin translated them here.

The more I think about it, the more it's clear WSB is where it's at this year. Can't believe I'm saying that.
