will MOTOGP consider switch to turbocharged engines in the future (at least 2023)?

Therius1994 · Mar 25, 2019

many motorsport competitions (auto racing even motorcycle racing) are abandoning naturally-aspirated engines for switching to turbocharged engines for horsepower and performance improvement as well as speed increase. MOTOGP are now thinking of switch to turbocharged engines in the future at least 2023 season as well as engine displacement cut to 700cc to make room for turbocharger. IMO turbocharger can improve also racing spectacle and expecting more overtake maneuvres.

IMO naturally-aspirated engines in car and motorcycle including racing are now going to decline due to increasing interest of turbocharged engines.

the last thing MotoGP currently needs is increasing speed.

Link to statement of FIM saying they are thinking about going to turbocharging by 2023.

Doesnt exist.

The only way they are fitting bikes with turbochargers is if the engine cc is lowered, like they did with F1. Anyone seen that supercharged animal which Kawasaki released a few years back? Utter monster it is, 350 horsepower or something daft like that, 20 bikes like that on track would be carnage.

Most probability is going to electric.

Can you imagine a motorbike engine with turbo going pop, someone would more than likely wind up dead.

Now't as sure as eggs are eggs it's going to happen...
Bradley Smith is in the best position in his life to capitalise on it

The future seems like it’s all going towards electric (like it or not) but I think they might go smaller capacity engines with some type of electrical assist/recovery system before they cut completely over to electric rather than turbo or super charging.

Kawasaki H2 range ........ absolute horsepower weapons and on which Kenan Sofoglu achieves an officially measured 400 kmhs

There is also now the touring version

^Gaz that high speed run of 400kph was proper nuts, being a bridge with all the potential for high cross winds, makes it even more so. I have stock gearing on my H2 with some tuning and a pipe and its speedo will max out at 299kph before it even hits the limiter 5th, when you change up into 6th you can see God.

Right now the entire industry seems to be electric, and I would expect that to be the next evolution in GP racing in some fashion. Even a hybrid system similar to F1 might be an option.

will MOTOGP consider switch to turbocharged engines in the future (at least 2023)?

Do you agree MOTOGP switch to turbocharged engines in 2023?

Likely

Never going to happen
