P1racenews AI automatic summary:
MotoGP’s long-rumoured revised system of technical Concessions has been announced.
The previous Concessions system became redundant for Aprilia after they achieved enough podium results to be on the same technical rules as the other factories this season. There is now a clear divide in performance between the European (Ducati, KTM, Aprilia) and Japanese (Honda, Yamaha) factories, with the European bikes dominating the riders’ championship and constructors’ standings. The new Sprint race format, with less practice time, has made it harder to close the technical gap. A revised Concession system has been agreed upon, allowing struggling manufacturers more opportunities to develop their bikes. The ranking for each factory for the start of the 2024 season will be determined by their performance in the 2023 constructors’ standings, with different concessions granted based on their rank.
