Ducati Corse Director General Luigi ‘Gigi’ Dall’Igna feels there is something redundant in the MotoGP race. He saw that energy was wasted when MotoGP braked which they could have utilized if MotoGP was able to store this energy, for example with KERS technology. That was one of the things he expressed to GPOne recently when asked about his opinion regarding the new 2027 regulations and MotoGP in the future.

“I think it would be stupid to waste some energy that could be recovered in the braking process. I think in the next 20 or 30 years, it will be impossible for a vehicle to have conventional brakes, because efficiency must be the line that guides us in developing technology. This (KERS) is a part that could possibly be combined later. Whether it’s carboceramic or carbon, it’s all about traditional braking, so all you need to do is come to an agreement.”

If this happens, then there is a possibility that MotoGP will follow what Formula 1 has done, namely moving towards developing motorbike engines to hybrid technology. Gigi Dall’Igna agrees on this matter. “In my opinion, a little hybridization would be a positive signal. Of course it is important to find ways to reduce costs, because this technology is expensive.”

Previously, Carmelo Ezpeleta had stated that there were at least two reasons why hybrid engines are not relevant for use in MotoGP. . . its heavy weight and secondly because we didn’t want to introduce expensive and complicated technology that would then never be used in mass production.” that’s what Carmelo said at that time.

Returning to Gigi, he does not deny that currently the cost handicap is one of the most significant things preventing MotoGP from entering the hybrid engine era. But he’s not just throwing out discourse, he already has a solution. .

“This may be a barrier preventing the use of this technology, but to me, trying to limit the overall cost of these components, perhaps finding a single supplier for the more expensive components, would be an interesting element of innovation for the motorcycling world.” Gigi added.

Currently Formula1 uses two energy recovery engine systems, namely the kinetic energy recovery system (MGU-K) which can recover the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle during braking and the heat energy recovery system (MGU-H) as a system that transfers heat from the process output at high temperatures. to another part of the process for a specific purpose, usually increasing efficiency.

These two systems can be said to be sustainable solutions in motorsport because they do not waste other dynamics apart from vehicle acceleration and other things that are initially dissipated such as heat. And perhaps in the future the sound energy will be stored and reused to increase the performance of racing vehicles.
