MওotoGP will 'probably' keep downforce fairings for 2019, but wing attachments will be subject to stricter regulations and must be used in the same configuration at all times.

This꧃ is likely to result in each rider hav𝄹ing one 'wing' fairing and one normal fairing available.

That's the opinion of MotoGP Technical Director Danny Aldridge, who has helped draft a revised set of rules now under discussion within the MSMA (manufacturers' ♉association).

The current rᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚegulations ban the use of traditional wings but allow downforce devices ('attachments') that are 'integrated' within the fairing. Aldridge is the sole judge of wღhether a device or fairing is legal.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:As reported in February, the biggest change for the 2019 proposal is a ban on the removal of parts or mater🧸ial from the fairing.

This will close a loophole which currently results in 'one' fairing design actually being used in multiple downforce configurations: Large wing attachments, small wing attach🦄ments, as a standard 'wingless' fairing etc.

"Th🔯e wording of the rules allows you to remove material," Aldridge told wuqian0821.com.

"The concept behind that was for things like handguards [and ꦕdrilling holes etc], but the teams have rightly interpreted the rules as they are written and so they've now got multiple fairing parts.

"This was not the concept, but once one manufactꦉurer has done it t💦he rest have to follow.

"So it’🌞s at the manufacturers' request that we start looking at the regulations foౠr 2019 and beyond.

"We've tabled a couple of proposals to them.

"It's going back-and-forth between us - which is me, Corrado [Cec⛎chinelli, MotoGP Direct♎or of Technology] and the MSMA.

"We're discussing, do we want to completely ban every attachment or ar🍸e we going to allow you to have limited attachments of a certain size and not remove any material?"

Wing ban unlikely

A complete ban on wing devices appears unlikely and would be difficult to imple💯ment without effectively enforcing a single fairing shaജpe.

"It looks like the majorityꦍ [of manufacturers] are in favour of keeping [the wing attachments], because they do seem to work and these aero packages are now part of the sport to a certain degree," Aldridge said.

"From the media and public side, it's nice to see d🌟ifferent design concepts. Whether you love them or hate them, they generate a lot of interest.

"The most important thing is safety and if the manu⭕facturers said to us, 'we want to get rid of them completely' we would be more than happy to do that.

"The biggest issue with that is unless we go to a system that is more like a single skin - and this was one of the proposals - it's ve𓆉ry hard to write a rule [to ban any kind of attachmenᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚts]."

Aldridge added: "It's a case of which [option] they prefer. It's down to the MSMA to say 'Okay, we all agree we'll go in this direction'. Because we can't change technical rules without their agreement. So 🍸the only reason we are doing this is at their request.

"I think we a✨re getting very close [to an agree🐼ment].

"My personal opinion - it's not confirmed - is that we'll probably go to; Yes you can have [wing] attachments, but they are restricted in size - there will be criteria to follow - and you cannot remove material or attachmen♌ts.

"So you won't see fairings change from race to race as attachments and material are 💜taken off and on.

"What you see at th🐷e first race will be it, until they do the one in-season upgrade."

Such a ruling would also reduce development costs, since manufacturers would not be able to pursue the curren൩t 'with or without' fairing specifications.

"For example, at the moment Marquez can removeꦍ [his wing attachments] as he wants because they are bolted on. Which is very clever and allowed within the rules.

"In future it won't 🙈matter if it's [removable] or not. Once you homologate it, it stays o🔯n.

"Some teams will probably still [make wing attachmentꦐs removable] for cost reasons, because 🤡if you mould them into the fairing and crash like Marquez did on Saturday [breaking one wing attachment], you'd lose the whole fairing. Being bolted on, you can just replace the damaged part.

"So - if the proposal is agreed - we will still allow the attachments to be bolted on for 🌜c💫ost reasons, and made in as many parts as they want, but the fairing must be used as a complete package at all times.

"Hopefully we are getting very close to finalising what will 🌳ha🔯ppen for 2019."

One with, one without

𒁃The current system of one fairing design at the start of the season followed by one upgrade is set to continue.

"From 2018 you start the season with your original fairing, then you are al♐lowed one upgrade and you can use both. But you can't mix and match the parts from each. You can either use the complete initiꦏal 2018 or the complete 2018 upgrade."

If the ⛎ban on removing parts and material is agreed for 2019, then "what I imagine they will do is to have one fairing with at🧸tachments and one standard fairing, without.

"T✅he prime example is someone like Dovi, who often swaps between a standard𒈔 fairing and with attachments.

"If it's agreed nex🔯t year that you can't remove anything, you might find there are moreᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ differences between the riders fairings. They might be more tailored towards each rider."

An imaginary box

Presently, under a system agreed by the manufactuꩵrers, Aldridge is the 'sole judge' of whether a device or fairing is legal.

The 2019 proposal will bring more ဣclarity by specifying a range of dimensions for wing attachඣments.

"There will be an imaginary box shape th💟at the attachments have to fཧit within," Aldridge explained.

"The dimensions will state the amount they can protrude outwards and there will be a safety element in th🌊at the front must be swept and so forth.

"That will be in the rulebook and then there's going to be a pamphlet written by me, saying what I've allowed a🎃nd what I haven't allowed so the manufacturers have got something to refer to.

"What's been happening is that I'd tell one manufacturer, 'you can't do that'. Then another manufacturer would come to me with the sa🍌me thཧing and I'd give them the same answer.

"What we'll do is put all that information into a booklet and al🐷l the other manufacturers will sಞee they are not allowed to use that concept, but without stating which manufacturer has approached me to ask the question.

"So it'll be a list of what you can't do, rather than what you can, and 𒈔I won't get the same question six times."

However most, if not all, of the current fairing designs would still be le🦄gal under the 2019 proposal.

"I don't think you'll see a loꦦt of difference from what we have now. T🎃hey might be slightly smaller to fit within the new rules - if they are agreed - but not much difference in shapes.

"If there is a difference, it's probably because they've found someth𒁏ing better to work with."
