Big Races and Results
February kicked off with the Qatar MotoGP opener. The desert heat turned the track into a real challenge, and the surprise podium finish from a rookie rider had everyone talking.

Across the pond, the British Superbike Championship held its first round at Brands Hatch. The close finish between the top three riders highlighted how competitive the 2023 season is shaping up to be. Our recap covered key overtakes, the impact of weather changes, and a quick guide on where to catch the next race live.
Tech Talk and Community Buzz
Beyond the track, February saw several manufacturers unleash concept bikes. The new electric superbike from a leading brand sparked a debate on the future of racing. We compared its specs with the current 1000cc class, gave a plain‑English rundown of battery range, and asked the community: is electric ready for the podium?
Our forum threads lit up when a fan shared a DIY tutorial on tuning suspension for track days. The step‑by‑step guide was simple enough for beginners but detailed enough for seasoned riders. We featured the top comments, highlighted common pitfalls, and linked to the original video tutorial (available on our site).

Why did CART and IndyCar split up anyway?
Feb 17, 2023, Posted by Maverick Leclair
The Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) and the Indy Racing League (IRL) were two American open-wheel racing series that ran from 1979 to 2003. The two series split in 1996, leading to a decade-long rivalry between the two. The main reason for the split was over disagreements about how the sport should be run and marketed. CART wanted to focus on road courses, while IRL wanted to focus on oval tracks. CART also wanted to emphasize international events, while the IRL wanted to focus solely on US events. The split resulted in a decade of competition between the two series and a decrease in overall viewership. Ultimately, in 2008, the two series merged to create the IndyCar Series, which is still running today.
