Quartararo told not to expect "big change" from Yamaha’s Valencia MotoGP test engine
Yamaha presented its first prototype engine for the 2024 season at the Misano test in September, but it received a lukewarm response from reigning world champion Quartararo. Quartararo expressed disappointment with the engine’s power and stated that he expected more. However, Yamaha’s team claimed that the test went according to plan. The development of the 2024 motor is being led by former Formula 1 engine chief Luca Marmorini. Yamaha has announced that they have two more engines in the works for the 2024 season, but Quartararo has been advised not to expect significant changes for the version he will test in Valencia. Quartararo, who currently ranks ninth in the MotoGP standings, hopes to finish in the top 10 on Friday at the upcoming Malaysian Grand Prix and aims to replicate his performance from the Thailand Grand Prix, where he finished fifth.
