Leafing through an old copy of Motorsport Aktuell (German Car & Bike racing mag, I buy it for the trailing swing arms on page 3) I read an article by Günther Wiesinger about a possible tie-up between Ilmor & KTM, where KTM would effectively buy the rights to the Ilmor bike and brand it as a KTM. This would give KTM an easy route back into MotoGP (avoiding the Roberts debacle of 2005) for a fraction of the cost, they get a ready-made bike & development team and Ilmor get the much-needed $$$ from Red Bull sponsorship to carry on. Everyone wins, and we get a new manufacturer on the grid...Anyone listening in Austria? -- TTFN Mark "In these shoes? No way Jose!" Kirsty MacColl 1959-2000 www.justiceforkirsty.org
They make some damn funny TV programmes though, e.g. Tohuwabohu. Dining out al fresco at the Youth Hostel restaurant at the top of the cliff overlooking Old Salzburg is an experience, too. -- Ivan Reid, School of Engineering & Design, _____________ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.
