R46 分析 M1 vs RC213V 性能差別

The seven time MotoGP champion feels that the RC213V now has the edge in many areas - such as power, fuel and straight-line speed, aided by two very fast ("and small") riders - but highlighted corner entry as the biggest advantage.

R46 認為 RC213V 目前在許多的層面擁有優勢，例如:馬力/油耗表現/直線速度/外加2個非常快的車手P26跟M93，但是 RC213V 目前最明顯的優勢是在"入彎"

“Our bike is fantastic, but behaves more like a normal bike," Rossi stated. “We continue to be very fast in the longer corners. But Honda has found something special for the small corners. They can make a different line into the corners, they turn very quickly and follow the inside - sometimes they almost turn too much!

M1 的表現目前是非常的優秀,尤其是高速彎道的速度非常優異。 但是 RC213V 在慢速彎道的表現已經超過了我們。 HONDA 車手可以選擇跟別人不同的入彎路線，然後快速的讓 RC211V 改變方向貼近彎道內側過彎，有時候他們的改變方向的能力超過我們的理解!!

“Our bike has good balance and now with the seamless gearbox we don't lose a lot in acceleration. But the Honda is more 'tight' in the corners and can use the acceleration. It looks like their bike [is built around] this type of tyre, our bike is more normal.

M1 在換裝了無縫變速箱後出彎加速性能已經獲得改善，但是 RC213V 可以用更小的角度/弧度完成過彎並且提前出彎加速。 看起來 RC213V 的設計比 M1 更能發揮目前輪胎的性能。

“Before in braking and entry the Yamaha was always very fast. Until Brno last year when Honda found something very good and this year they made another step. It looks like they can use the front tyre in a better way compared to us - that is how it looks by following. I don't know if it's true.”

M1 過去一直都擁有非常優秀的煞車及入彎性能，但是在去年的 Brno 比賽後 HONDA 的賽車在這方面已經取得明顯的進步，而且今年的賽季 RC213 的煞車及入彎性能比去年下半季相比又更優秀了。 當我在跟在 RC213V 後面跑的時候觀察可以發現目前的 RC213V 似乎比 M1 更能發揮前輪胎的性能

Rossi added: “Our seamless gearbox does not help to be smoother into the corners, but the Honda - yes. I think they have the same [smoothness] when they shift down [as when they shift up].

M1 的無縫變速箱並無法改善 M1 的(降檔)入彎穩定性，但是我認為 RC213V 的無縫變速箱不論是升檔還是降檔表現都是一樣的柔順。

“We are working a lot with the Japanese engineers on our seamless. The new gearbox is fast but still has some 'shock' when you change gears. But this is normal, we've only had it for three races and Honda have had it for three years.

我們跟日本工程師正在努力的改善 M1 的無縫變速箱性能，目前的無縫變速箱換檔快速但是無法完全解決換檔時的震動。 但是我想這也是正常的,畢竟 M1 的無縫變速箱只有用過 2 場的比賽而本田的無縫變速箱已經用了3年。

“But the Honda advantage is not just from the gearbox, also the chassis setting.”

不過 HONDA 的優勢不是完全來自無縫變速箱, RC213V 的車架設定也是一個因素。
