MotoGP’s system of feeder championships is introducing a new class name: Moto4
MotoGP is introducing a new class called Moto4 as part of its feeder championship system consolidation under series promoter Dorna. This decision was announced by MotoGP chief sporting officer Carlos Ezpeleta and FIM president Jorge Viegas during a press conference at the Portuguese Grand Prix. The rebranding includes Moto3 Junior and the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup as the primary feeders into Moto3. The Talent Cup has now been renamed to Moto4, featuring regional cups like the Moto4 European, Asia, Northern, British, and Latin Cups. Champions from the Honda NSF250R-based European Cup include current Moto2 stars and Moto3 rookies. Below Moto4, the series will be known as MotoMini. This rebranding aligns the FIM prototype racing ladder more closely with the FIA ladder below Formula 1.
