MotoGP 바이크 무게제한 변경

CRT의 도입과 함께 일종의 핸디캡을 적용시키기 위해 1차 예정 158kg에서 160kg으로 상향되었던 바이크의 무게제한이 다시 내려갈 것으로 보입니다.

당시 예정과 다르게 갑작스런 2kg 상향 조정으로 Honda가 2012 시즌 초반 다소 어려움을 겪기도 했었죠.

내년 시즌은 최소 2kg 감소된 158kg, 그리고 2016 시즌에 다시 추가로 2kg 하향될 수도 있다고 합니다.

또 내년 6월말 이후로 전자장비 개발도 제한될 것이라고 하네요.

Technical Regulations

Effective 2015

Minimum Weights of MotoGP Class Machines

The minimum weight of a 1,000 cc machine will be reduced by 2 kg. from 160 kg. to 158 kgm.

It was also agreed that this matter would be reviewed during 2015 to consider the possibility of a further reduction of 2 kg for 2016.

Development of Unified Software for the MotoGP Class

It was confirmed that current manufacturers will be permitted to use and develop their own software up until 30th. June 2015. After that date manufacturers will not be permitted to update their software except for minor bug fixes that might affect safety.

From 1 July 2015 current manufacturers will switch their development programme to the 2016 unified software. It is the intention that this software will be based largely on the current software used by the open category machines.

Manufacturers not currently participating may continue to use and develop their own software throughout 2015 but may also be invited to participate in the development of the unified software.

Detailed technical regulations concerning the use of certified sensors and other devices were also approved.
