Private Test Exempt From 2012 MotoGP Team

Restrictions on private test session MotoGP team since 2008, is predicted to be a perfect solution to the problem of global economic difficulties. The financial crisis that blew up the MotoGP event at the time, already in a critical stage. Hence the private test session the MotoGP teams are limited to 8 hours just for one season on their main driver.

As for testing the motor by using a test rider, is allowed and no restrictions. But the effect is different to that of the main drivers tested directly. Motor performance test rider felt bythe main drivers is not the same, as well as with the input they provide. So that theeffectiveness of upgrading the motor only runs the place.

In fact, the Ducati team spent a lot of funds for the joint development test rider 2011 season, but the results are not as effective as if they do test development along the main drivers. Even to make the free practice on race weekend as the process of testing new components, was not enough.

After restriction test session runs for three years, the desire to restore the release of the private MotoGP test session during the current season. This was disclosed by Dorna CEOCarmelo Ezpeleta as Motorsport (MotoGP promoters) that the private test session will bere-released during the current season. But the supply of used tires are allowed a maximum of only 240 units of 120 sets aliases for one season.

Another reason that underlies the return of private test sessions without time limits, as wellas regulation of MotoGP next year will adopt a new regulation with a capacity of 1,000 ccmotor. Unclear Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and Ducati will use the full capacity of 1,000 cc oreven someone using only 900 cc only. Hopefully in the near future is there an officialrelease.
