MotoGP is the best motorcycle world championship created by FIM (Federation Internationale De Motorcyclisme) in 1949. It has worldwide television coverage in a series of 18 races held in 14 countries and 4 continents. The contest will feature the most experienced riders from 10 countries, using state-of-the-art technology and prototype machines designed by five manufacturers. Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Ducati, Aprilia. This oldest motorcycle championship, previously marked only in the "500cc" category, was changed in 2002 with a displacement of 990cc. The rules were changed again in 2007, and the displacement was limited to 800cc, but in 2012 it was changed to 1000cc again. The MotoGP Championship has been run by commercial rights holder Dorna Sports under the supervision of FIM since 1992.

MotoGP has a rich history and its events are held all over the world. Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia are some of the most racial countries. There are also two categories of this premier class world championship, Moto2 and Moto3.

Moto2:

Moto2 was introduced in 2012 as an alternative to the 250cc category. For Moto2 races, Honda is the only engine supplier and Dunlop supplies the tires. These bikes are powered by a 600cc 4-stroke engine that supplies 140hp and the bike chassis is free within the limits of the FIM Grand Prix technical regulations. The minimum age for participation in Moto2 is 16 years.

Moto3:

The Moto3 includes a 250cc 4-stroke single-cylinder class race that replaced the 125cc category in 2012. The maximum age for entry is 28, but for wildcard riders or new signing first-time competitors, the minimum age is 25 and the minimum age for Moto3 is 16.

MotoGP eligibility criteria are described below according to the official MotoGP website.

As usual, there will be three 45-minute free practice sessions during the regular race weekend on Friday mornings and afternoons and Saturday mornings. The time set in these sessions will be counted in the qualifying round and the results will be combined to determine whether the driver will participate in the first or second quarter.

Q1. It will be a 15-minute session in the second quarter, consisting of drivers in 11th place and below. During this period, the driver has an incentive to qualify for

Q2. The two fastest of the sessions can compete. As a result, 12 drivers will compete in the final 15-minute second-quarter session to determine the starting order at the forefront. Drivers who are not in second place fastest in QP1 (Qualifying 1) will get a grid position of 13 or higher depending on their placement in QP1.

A 30-minute free practice session 4 will be held before the two qualifying sessions in consideration of unexpected changes and necessary adjustments. It has no time limit and does not count which qualifying session the driver is in.

The three thrilling sessions of Free Practice have not changed, but the combined time of these sessions will determine your participation in the final qualifying session.

Drivers that are not in the two fastest locations on the QP1 will be at grid position 13 and above, according to the name on the QP1. After a warm-up session for each category on the day of the

race, the traditionally smallest category, in this case Moto3, will be on the track first, followed by the Moto2 class and finally the MotoGP event. This is subject to change. Race lengths vary between 95,130km and usually last for 4,045 minutes. This is a different set number of laps for each track. Pit stops are rare, but allowed, especially for weather changes where riders can pit into the lane and switch to machines with different tires (MotoGP only).

Who will be the champion

The championship will be awarded to the most successful driver of the season, which will be determined based on the points earned as a result of the Grand Prix.

In terms of percentages, Mike Hailwood has a record of 83% wins and has won 10 out of 12 races in the 250 class. Valentino Rossi is currently the most successful rider with nine titles in his name. Six MotoGP titles and one in each of the 500cc, 250cc and 125cc races. The current MotoGP champion is Jorge Lorenzo.

MotoGP engine specifications

In MotoGP racing, it is very important for the rider to choose the tires based on the feeling during practice, qualifying races, pre-race warm-up laps and weather forecasts. The rider had to calculate and choose between grip and durability. Soft compound tires have higher traction but wear quickly. Hard compound tires have lower traction but can last until the end of the race. To protect the tires to the end, special talent is required on the part of the driver.
