The MotoGP class is the highest racing class within the FIM - Motorcycle World Championship of Road Racing . It is also known as the premier class of motorcycle racing .
For the 2002 season, MotoGP replaced the 500 cm³ class that had existed since 1949 as the highest category within the motorcycle world championship. Around 19 grands prix races are held worldwide each season. Apart from the MotoGP races, there are also races of the Moto2 and Moto3 classes with a few exceptions .
Classification in motorsport
In the MotoGP racing class, the currently most powerful motorcycles compete against each other in an internationally organized competition. In contrast to the near-series Superbike World Championship , the motorcycles are prototypes with the best currently available technology to achieve maximum lap times; of course, taking into account the regulations. The development and production costs of these two-wheelers are correspondingly high, which can well exceed one million euros . The participation consists on the one hand of factory teams , i.e. well-known manufacturers such as currently (2019 season) Aprilia , Ducati , Honda , KTM , Suzuki and Yamaha . On the other hand, so-called "satellite teams" compete. These use factory machines from the aforementioned manufacturers from previous seasons or with outdated components. For example, Takaaki Nakagami drove Marc Márquez's 2018 factory machine for the LCR Honda satellite team in 2019 and the Reale Avintia Racing team will use Ducati's 2019 factory machines in 2020 . The starting number that a rider and his motorcycle wears no longer provide any information about any competitive ranking. It is a career start number that a rider freely chooses when advancing to MotoGP (excluding occupied and blocked numbers).
Overview of the 2020 season regulations
The regulations are set by the Grand Prix Commission , an association made up of MSMA (manufacturer representatives), IRTA (team representatives), Dorna and FIM , for a period of usually 5 years. The current basis is the catalog from 2016, so major changes are not expected until the 2022 season.
- Engine: four-stroke naturally aspirated engines with a maximum of four cylinders, 1000 cm³ displacement and 81 mm bore
- concession rules ("Concession Rules "):
- As standard, a maximum of seven engines are available per driver and season , currently applies to:
- Honda, Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki and their satellite teams
- Less competitive manufacturers from the 2013, 2014 and 2015 seasons enjoy advantages until certain racing successes are achieved: a maximum of nine engines that may be further developed during the season , as well as special rights (slightly modified for 2020) for test drives and wildcard use , currently applies to:
- KTM (including the Tech 3 KTM satellite team) and Aprilia
- Gearbox: maximum 6 gears, no automatically shifting gearboxes allowed, "Quick-Shifters" are allowed
- Fuel limitation: max. 22 liter tank capacity, no pit stops or refueling allowed; different rules ("flag-to-flag") when it rains during the race
- Electronics: unit ECU from Magneti Marelli
- Minimum weight: 157 kilograms (all liquids on "normal")
- Aerodynamics: due to difficult wind conditions, the side aerodynamic fairing parts ("winglets") may be removed on announced routes for safety reasons (only completely), currently this only applies to the Australian Grand Prix .
- Brakes: carbon fiber reinforced brake discs with a diameter of 320 or 340 millimeters, and steel brake discs in the rain; ABS is not allowed
- Tires & Wheels: various standard Michelin tires , 17 inches; a maximum of 10 front tires and 12 rear tires are available per race weekend in dry conditions, different rules in the case of rain
- Penalty catalog: an early start will be punished with two long lap penalties from this season ; a pit passage was previously planned for this
Previous changes in regulations and technology
- Since 2006, the race can in wet track conditions or to be expected rain to wet race ( wet race be declared) to avoid a crash when rain with subsequent restart. In a wet race , a driver can go to his box and switch to his other machine, on which the other type of tire, i.e. rain or dry tires, must always be mounted. A simple tire change, for example in Formula 1, is not enough for motorcycles, as further adjustments are necessary.
- Between 2007 and 2011, the displacement was limited to 800 cm³, after an upper limit of 990 cm³ had been in effect since 2002. The number of cylinders was not subject to any restriction at that time, but only cylinders and pistons were allowed whose diameter did not vary by more than 5%. The FIM expected an increase in safety for the pilots from the reduction in displacement and the associated reduction in performance, which, however, was not shown in practice. Speeds on the straights barely changed and even increased by 5–20 km / h in corners, where the risk of falling is generally increased. The change in the regulations required the motorcycles to be redesigned, which Ducati initially achieved best with a power surplus of 5% (Desmosedici GP7) compared to the competition; Honda and Yamaha had previously dominated . Subsequent allegations of fraud on the part of the Japanese were quickly refuted. Ducati achieved this with the Desmodromic valve control system , which, thanks to its extreme cam profiles, brought advantages in terms of peak performance, speed range and consumption. In addition, the fairing, chassis and electronic traction control worked very well. To compensate for performance deficits, Suzuki and Kawasaki from 2007 and Honda and Yamaha from 2008 used a pneumatic valve suspension for the inlet / outlet valves, as has been the technical standard in Formula 1 for a long time.
- Since the beginning of the 2012 season, a maximum displacement of 1000 cm³ and the maximum number of cylinders is limited to four, the bore to 81 mm; this was already determined on December 11, 2009. The minimum weight for 1000 cm³ motorcycles (a lower weight is permitted with a smaller displacement) was initially 153 kg, was increased to 160 kg from the 2013 season, then decreased to 158 kg in the 2015 season and to 157 kg from 2016 become. The maximum tank capacity for MotoGP motorcycles has been 22 liters since the start of the 2016 season . Before that, it was gradually reduced annually from 26 liters, which were still allowed in 2004, which should limit the performance and thus also the speeds of the motorcycles.
- From 2012 to 2013, in addition to the teams that use pure prototypes, there were also so-called Claiming Rule Teams that used modified superbike engines in prototype chassis. 24 liters instead of 21 liters of tank capacity and 12 instead of 6 engines per season were permitted.
- From 2014 the claiming rule was replaced by the open rule. Teams start under the "open conditions" if they use the unit control unit ( ECU ) from Magneti Marelli . Since the standard electronics aimed at by the FIM were inferior to the sophisticated electronics of the factory teams, advantages were granted when used: softer rear tires, no frozen engine development, as well as higher gasoline quantities (24 liters) and number of engines (12 per season). In addition, the amount of fuel allowed for works teams fell from 21 liters to 20 liters of fuel per race and the number of engines allowed from 6 to 5 per season. Since the Ducati works team also decided to control Magneti Marelli, this team would now have had a disproportionately high advantage. The FIM was therefore forced to adapt the regulations before the start of the 2014 season. All teams were then able to use the advantages of the open format. However, the prerequisite was that the team in question did not win in dry conditions in the previous year. As this applied to the Ducati team, they enjoyed all the advantages of the Open Rule for the 2014 season. If, however, an “open team” achieved a combined victory, two second places or three podium places in the dry in the 2014 season, the fuel limit will be reduced to 22 liters. If three wins of the season are achieved, it loses the right to use softer rear tires. Since the 2016 season, the use of the Magneti Marelli motor control has been mandatory for everyone.
- The maximum number of dry tires per race weekend and driver has been set at 22 according to the new regulations since 2016. A maximum of 10 different front and 12 different rear tires from the standard manufacturer Michelin may be used. There are various rubber compounds and asymmetrical tires. There is a limit of seven pairs per race weekend for the number of rain tires. Since 2016, rims with a diameter of 17 inches have to be used in the MotoGP class, previously it was 16.5 inches.
- While in the Moto3- and Moto2 class only brake discs of steel are allowed, there is in the MotoGP class no restrictions on materials for brake discs. In dry conditions, carbon fiber composite discs are used. In rainy races, however, MotoGP z. Some steel brake discs are still used because carbon discs do not always reach the required operating temperature.
- In the 2019 season, the catalog of penalties was expanded to include the long lap penalty ; a driver affected by this has to drive a separate section of the route within 3 laps, which (intentionally) worsens his lap time. In 2019, the aerodynamic fairing parts ("winglets") of the motorcycles also sparked discussions because there were no sufficiently clear regulations. An interim status on the engine consumption of the teams (important due to the concession rules ) was published on July 30, 2019 on motogp.com .
- The performance of a MotoGP class motorcycle is not regulated and results from the relevant framework conditions. For reasons of competition, the manufacturers officially only name lower limits. Estimates for the machines for the 2018 and 2019 seasons are in the range of 260 to almost 300 hp .
- The speed record of a MotoGP machine is currently 356.7 km / h . This rate reached the Ducati - factory rider Andrea Dovizioso on the Mugello Circuit on June 1, 2019 during the third free practice.
Point system
The world champion will be the driver or manufacturer who has accumulated the most points in the world championship by the end of the season. When distributing points, the placements are taken into account in the overall result of the respective race. The top fifteen drivers in each race receive points according to the following scheme:
