MotoGP will unveil new regulations for 2027 – BMW’s participation depends.

MotoGP is preparing to unveil its revised regulations for 2027, which will end months of negotiations between manufacturers involved in the series. This announcement will also bring the most significant changes to the championship since the introduction of 1000cc bikes in 2013.

These new regulations may also pave the way for BMW to enter MotoGP in the near future. There are rumors that BMW has informed Dorna, the body that governs the series, of its intention to enter the first class once the new rules are implemented.

The main change in the new regulations will be the reduction of engine capacity by 150cc, resulting in the creation of an 850cc bike. These modifications aim to reduce the top speed of current bikes, which have reached speeds of over 220mph in recent years. These changes are necessary to ensure the safety of traditional series circuits without requiring costly modifications.

In addition to reducing the engine capacity, other expected changes include a significant reduction in aerodynamics and the removal of ride height devices. These modifications aim to bring the MotoGP bikes closer to the production models and improve the overall racing experience. The increase in these factors in recent years has been attributed to the decrease in excess opportunities.

The new rules are expected to be finalized at the next meeting of the Grand Prix Commission during the Spanish Grand Prix. An official announcement will follow shortly, marking the end of a long decision-making process. MotoGP’s rule-making structure requires unanimous support from the Motorsport Manufacturers Association (MSMA) for any proposal, which has contributed to the extended deadline.

With this major rule change, it is expected that BMW will use the opportunity to enter the championship as a new factory team. However, the German manufacturer will need to evaluate the new rulebook and determine the financial resources needed to be competitive in MotoGP.
