Moto2 to Be One-make Engine Class
Moto2 to be one-make engine class
The FIM Grand Prix Commission announced the new rule following an April 11 meeting in Doha, Qatar during the opening weekend of the 2009 season. The official engine supplier will be named at a later date.
The 600cc four-stroke Moto2 class, which replaces the 250cc Grand Prix series in 2010 (bumped up a year from the initial target of 2011), was originally intended to feature production-based engines from various manufacturers.
The move to switch to a single engine provider was proposed by the Motorcycle Sport Manufacturers Association which represents all the manufacturers competing in Grand Prix road racing. Teams would still be allowed to use prototype chassis.
