Spec ECU under consideration for MotoGP

21st December 2007

Dorna, the sanctioning body of the MotoGP motorcycle racing world championship is considering following the example of the 2008 FIA Formula One regulations by adopt a standard electronic control unit (ECU) with the aim of removing electronic rider aids from the championship.

Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta told the Italian Motosprint magazine, "It's the next thing we must work on. We need to regulate it.

"The ideal thing would be a single ECU identical for everyone, but the constructors don't agree with that. But we need an idea. I will discuss this with the riders, the technicians, whoever this concerns.

"I had to make threats of a control tyre. We needed to change the regulations and I understood that Michelin and Bridgestone wouldn't find any agreement on their own.

"They didn't want to find an agreement. Now something has been done, we'll see if it's enough. I want to get back to the situation we had in 2005, as far as the balance and the spectacle are concerned."
