[kropotkin thinks...] - Guest Blog: Mat Oxley - The end of MotoGP aero?
If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.
----------------- MotoGP has only just started its second season with radical aerodynamics but most manufacturers are already against aero devices Aerodynamics has been MotoGP’s biggest tech talking point of the past few seasons, if only because it’s easier to spot a redesigned winglet or aero surface than a rewritten traction-control map. Perhaps not for much longer. It seems that most of the factories have had enough of MotoGP’s new-age aero – mainly because they think they are spending too much money for too little gain. There are currently two reports being compiled: one by Dorna’s technical staff and the other by the MSMA (the Motorcycle Sport Manufacturers Association). Both may offer the same conclusion: to ban aerodynamics in its current form and return to the conventional bodywork of a few years ago, before Ducati got clever with its winglets. The main concern is cost – a lot of money can be spent on aero development, which is still very much a nebulous science in motorcycle racing.
