MotoGP confirms concession plans for the 2024 season
During the Malaysian Grand Prix weekend earlier this month, MotoGP announced the reintroduction of concessions in an effort to hinder Ducati and support struggling Japanese manufacturers. The concessions will include limitations on tyre allocation, testing, wildcards, and engine development, with Ducati having the strictest restrictions. Manufacturers will be divided into four groups based on their percentage of maximum points obtained in each assessment period. Each group will have specific parameters regarding test tyres, testing privileges, wildcards, engine allocation, development freeze, and aero updates. Ducati will be classified as A rank for the 2024 season, while KTM and Aprilia will be C rank, and Yamaha and Honda will be D rank. These concessions aim to level the playing field and encourage competition in the MotoGP championship.
