engines

I felt this was a big enough talking point to start a new thread.https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/factory-ducati-riders-switch-to-year-old-motogp-engines-for-2022/8673865/

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...

Dorna moves engine maintenance and inspection from neutral Switzerland to Alcañiz Spain. Saw it on the local news today.

MotoGP New rules for 2013. One bike + 5 engines max & Less mechanics here you are PPL...PMSL ROFL Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta explained that ongoing discussions started at the end of last season and could lead to various decisions in an upcoming meeting to be held in Qatar, ahead of...

I looked everywhere but couldn't find an answer. If Jorge has 1 left, how many does Dani have? And if that 1 engine Jorge has blows up, what's the point penalty to get a 2nd engine?

Read this on motomatters.com. I can't believe it! So much for parity. The fallout from this is gonna be fun to watch. I can only see all contenders getting 3 more engines soon to be fair. http://motomatters.com/news/2010/07/20/some_are_more_equal_than_others_suzuki_t.html

My history of MotoGP before 1983 is pretty weak - but according to Matt Oxley - there's nothing precedent setting about production bikes used to create a larger field. Apparently the last time it was seriously considered was in the early 1990s when Joe Zegwaard suggested introducing TT F1 bikes...

As you may be aware, I'm starting to believe that the point of Moto2 is actually to create a bunch of privateer teams who build their own rolling chassis and then lease engines (F1 format). The existing manufacturers have been extremely resistant to the idea. Furthermore, the proposal they gave...

not a bad read fook it lets scrap motogp proto types. lets have a TRANSATLANTIC TROPHY SERIES Will "Production-based" Engines be in MotoGP in 2010? Deadline approaching for lease engine proposal—plus some teams already signing new riders for 2010 The 2009 MotoGP calendar is far from over...

I don't think it's fair to change the rules halfway through the season. Everyone's going on about only having 5 engines for the rest of the season, but how many are they going to be allowed for the whole season? This doesn't seem to be workable to me!

I'm on another forum and this guy is telling me that the reason nickey rode the 07 bike without the pneumatic valve engine is because he likes it better than the 08 motor, and the 07 motor doesn't fit in the 08 bike. so for qatar only dani had the new bike and pneumatic engine because he likes...

Why don't teams experiment with a Wankel rotary engines? I'll admit, until yesterday when I was lamenting the 800cc displacement rule and the number of engine configurations it has elimated or will eliminate, I never stopped to think about a rotary engine in a motorcycle. After a few hours of...

What will the new rules do to the individual speed of the riders. We will get less drivability through a sharper power curve, lighter rotating parts and more turnable bikes. Who has the most to gain on this? This is my list and as you see I don't pick any winner. - Rossi's excellent power...
