Why doesn't BMW have a Moto GP racing team?

BMW has been known as a leader in automotive engineering and technology for decades, but has never had a presence in Moto GP racing. This article explores the reasons why BMW has not pursued a Moto GP racing team, despite their long history in motorsport. Reasons include the fact that Moto GP is dominated by two-wheel vehicles, and the company's focus on four-wheel vehicles, their preference for production-based race cars, their lack of interest in two-wheel racing, and their general concern for safety. Despite these reasons, BMW still produces high-performance motorcycles and could still enter the Moto GP scene if they decided to do so.

What is the difference between a dogleg and a chicane?

A dogleg and chicane are both types of turns in a race track. A dogleg is a 90 degree turn that curves in one direction and then curves back in the opposite direction. A chicane is a series of alternating left and right turns, often with small straightaways in between. Both are used to slow down the cars and improve safety. Doglegs can also be used to create a more exciting track layout. Chicanes, however, are more frequently used on tracks where safety is of utmost importance.
