On 23 September, the ‘Grand Prix Commission’ announced two changes to the MotoGP regulations. With immediate effect, ‘practice starts’ from the pit lane exit are prohibited. Previously, these were permitted on just over 30 per cent of the circuits on the calendar. As special practice start zones have now been introduced at all circuits and there is a dedicated practice start session for MotoGP at every Grand Prix, practice starts from the pit lane are now prohibited at all circuits with immediate effect.
Furthermore, with immediate effect, the rev limit of 20,000 rpm specified in the ECU software is to be incorporated into the MotoGP class regulations for greater clarity.
The decisions listed were taken by the Grand Prix Commission, comprising Paul Duparc (FIM), Mike Webb (IRTA), Biense Bierma (MSMA) and Carmelo Ezpeleta (MotoGP SEG, Chairman). Also present were Jorge Viegas (FIM President), Carlos Ezpeleta (MotoGP SEG), Corrado Cecchinelli (Technical Director), Paul King (FIM CCR Director) and Dominique Hebrard (FIM CTI Technical Director).
