KTM: Some “very smart decisions” being made about MotoGP’s 2027 rules
The current technical formula in MotoGP will be changed in 2027, with engine displacement being reduced from 1000cc to 850cc and the use of 100% sustainable fuels. There will also be major changes to the aerodynamic rules. Pit Beirer, of KTM Factory Racing, expressed his support for the changes and suggested discussing the possibility of implementing them even earlier. The goal is to remove extreme technology that influences the riding style and give more control back to the riders. Beirer also mentioned the importance of being cautious about expanding the race calendar beyond the scheduled 22 rounds in the 2024 season. While he praised the addition of sprint races, he stated that the preferred number of races would be around 18. The intention is to maintain the same format while being involved in the global championship. Changes to the 2024 calendar are expected due to uncertainties surrounding the Argentina GP.
