MotoGP Changes To Reduce Budgets
Raised concerns that the number of manufacturer in MotoGP 2010 season will be reduce.Basic concern, of course, the Kawasaki manufacturer withdrawing from MotoGP. Although the conditions for the year 2009 not provided a big impact, but for next season is feared if any team will follow the Kawasaki manufacturer.
FIM president Vito Ippolito said he is concerned that further withdrawals could cause major problems in 2010, and Ippolito believes the time has come to re-think the technical concepts behind MotoGP so that budgets can be dramatically reduced as listed below:
"The problem isn't 2009, when one way or another we'll manage to have a full grid, but it's 2010," he told Corriere dello Sport.
"There's the risk of more defections, especially among privateers, who could leave us with just 14 bikes.
"That's why I'll repeat to the Japanese manufacturers the absolute need for going back to the past. That is going back to the building and selling of 'road production prototypes', like the ones that used to be raced in the eighties.
Ippolito added that he opposed moves to create more separation between MotoGP and the supporting 125cc and 250cc world championships, and urged the teams and Dorna to plan for the sport's long-term future.
"The sport needs the FIM, as motorcycling can't be just business," he said. "That's why I'm openly against the split paddock set up by Dorna: the world championship isn't just MotoGP, there are also the other series.
"Innovating is fine, but we also need to think long term and lower the costs."
