Cancelled laps for breaching MotoGP tyre pressures in 2023 MotoGP
Real-time data provided by MotoGP’s new hi-tech tyre pressure monitoring system means offending riders will be stripped of fast laps in 2023.
“There will be clear pressure requirements for a timed lap to be accepted, or for race to be considered as compliant with the rules,” Cecchinelli told“These requirements are still under discussion, but the concept is a lap is good if the tyre is above the minimum pressure for a specified amount of time during that lap.
“We are very open to taking the time needed to have it all working properly. It’s something we, as the organiser, are trying to do in the common interest of the manufacturers to provide them with fair racing conditions. Interestingly, while teams believe running below the operating range can offer more performance, Michelin doesn’t necessarily agree.
Cecchinelli was Technical Director of the Ducati MotoGP team from 2003 to 2005, then Vice Director General of Ducati Corse until becoming MotoGP’s Director of Technology from 2011. “Please ask someone else! Because this is the way I recommended,” smiled Cecchinelli. “For me, there's a dangerous level of pressure that you should never go below and the enforcement of the rules should be as simple as, ‘we can check your tyre pressure at any time and it shall always be above minimum’. End of story.
