The SBK displacement-increase debate, huh. The idea of solving 'boring racing' by punching up the horsepower — I get the instinct, but that's not really the core issue. From what I've seen firsthand, thrilling racing comes from how close racing is engineered, not from the gap between machines. Raising displacement doesn't guarantee the spectacle comes back. I hope MSMA doesn't lose sight of that.

Is MSMA a manufacturers' body, separate from the organizers running the series?

As a fan, I'll welcome any change as long as it means more close racing.

If the regulations change, it'll be fun to see a whole new power balance emerge again.

No concrete numbers yet on the displacement increase, so hard to tell which way the discussion is heading.

People started calling SBK boring partly because of that one-team-dominance stretch too.

One manufacturer dominating and it sparking a rule-change debate — same pattern as MotoGP.

Not sure it's as simple as 'raise the displacement and the boredom goes away.'
