Bosses freeze Moto3 development until 2024

In an effort to further reduce costs, MotoGP bosses have frozen Moto3 development until the beginning of the 2024 season.

The current 2021 bike specification, as declared by each manufacturer, will be not be changed and includes:

• The maximum price for a complete rolling chassis will remain at €85,000
• As part of the engine package, each manufacturer will only be required to supply 3 gearboxes sets per two rider team.
• Each team will be permitted to rent a maximum 2 additional sets of gearboxes at the capped price of €2.500 each.
• A Maximum of 6 engines per rider, for the season will be permitted. However, a manufacturer at their choosing may allocate 5 engines per rider, for the season.
• Manufacturers can continue to charge the Championship €60,000 per entry for engine supply whether the allocation is five or six engines per rider.
• Because engines are rebuilt during the season and re-allocated to the teams, the manufacturers need to avoid unnecessary additional rebuild costs due to misuse of the engine. Therefore, A protocol will be agreed with the manufacturers that will define what is believed is an acceptable use of the engine by the teams and riders. Meaning, teams can be charged for proven engine damaged caused by the rider or team exceeding these parameters.
