MotoGP, like Formula one will switch to sustainable fuels. From 2024, 40% of fuel for the MotoGP class must be derived from sustainable sources using synthetically produced sustainable energy or non-food biomass. From 2027, all fuel used in all three classes, Moto3, Moto2, and/or MotoGP, will be...
Because of fossil fuel soon will be gone in 10-30 years, MotoGP must face crucial transition from fossil fuel to Net Zero Carbon Neutral footprint combustion in order to survive.
Your opinions?
The traditional Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) in a automobile and motorcycle will slowly decline and dead in the next 10 years due to most racing series electing switch to hybrids/electrics/Net Zero Carbon/Hydrogen. NZC and hydrogen are the future of racing and the gasoline will slowly...

Okay so as you all know, I know diddly squat about some parts of the racing but I do want to learn. What I don't understand is how Cal Cructhlow ran out of fuel in the last race. Is it something he did wrong? Was it like he was over revving or something? Was it a bike issue?
Can anyone...
Testing is done with no fuel restrictions and the CRTs get to race with extra fuel, so will the gap from prototype to CRTs be much closer in the actual races than we realise.
If the factory bikes test with race mapping rather than qualifying mapping (full power), for how much of the test...
I have long contested that GP is about the mousetrap first then the rider. Yet many have made the assessment about riders based purely on results without the caveat of meaningful and profound analysis. The evidence is always there, but is routinely ignored. Even here, on a technical topic...
Spalders was adamant in claiming that the added liter of fuel to the fuel limit in Malaysia really helped the Suzuki and Yamaha. He stated that fuel is the number one problem with the current formula. Not allowing riders to ride at thier maximum as well as the bikes. He spoke about Suzuki...

I always go on and on about patterns in GP and reading between the lines. So I've decided to put myself on the hook and make a prediction.
Now that Dorna and the riders seem to have allied behind a control tire, a control tire should be announced for the 2009 season. I'm not sure what the...

how great would it be for pedrobot to race the pneumo at BRNO, and run out of fuel.
I know it's unlikely, but would still be great if it did

I thought there were some interesting comments about the use of TC. As well as comparison of the 800s to a “super 250”. And the proposal that the fuel limit has been the most challenging aspect of the changes.
Your thoughts.
