History of the MotoGP

Motorcycle racing world championship for the first time organized by the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), in 1949. At the time it traditionally has held several races at each event for various classes of motorcycles, based on engine capacity, and classes for sidecars (motorcycles bersespan). Existing classes when it is 50cc, 125cc, 250cc, 350cc, and 500cc single seater for motorcycles, and 350cc and 500cc sidecars for motorcycles. Entering the 1950s and throughout the 1960s, 4-stroke engine motorcycles dominate the entire class. In the late 1960s, 2-stroke motorcycle engine began to master the small classes. In the 1970s 2-stroke motorcycle engine completely get rid of 4 stroke engines. In 1979, Honda tried to restore the 4 stroke engine in the top class by lowering the motor NR500, but this project failed, and in 1983 even Honda was winning with his 2 stroke 500cc bike. In 1983, finally abolished 350cc class. 50cc class was replaced by 80cc class in 1984, but the classes are often dominated by riders from Spain and Italy was finally abolished in 1990. Class sidecars are also excluded from the world championships in the 1990s, leaving the 125cc, 250cc, and 500cc classes.

GP 500, class a peak motor racing Grand Prix, has changed dramatically in 2002. From the mid 1970s until 2001 the top class of GP racing is limited to 4-cylinder and 500cc engine capacity, both types of engines 4 stroke or 2 stroke. As a result, are able to survive is a 2-stroke engine, which incidentally produces power and greater acceleration. In 2002 to 2006 for the first time allowed manufacturers to increase the total capacity of a special machine to machine to the maximum 990cc 4 stroke, 800cc in and turned into the 2007 season. Manufacturers are also given the freedom to choose the number of cylinders used between three to six with a certain weight limit. With the motor permissibility cc 4 stroke air-large, the GP 500 class renamed to MotoGP. After 2003 there are no longer 2-stroke engine that fell in the MotoGP class. For 125cc and 250cc classes in particular still use 2-stroke engine.

Race for the MotoGP class is currently held as many as 17 series in 15 different countries (Spain held a 3 race series). Regular races held every weekend with several stages. Held Friday free practice and first official practice, then on Saturday held the second official practice and QTT, where the drivers trying to make the record the best time to determine their starting position. Race itself was held on Sunday, although there was a series that was held on Saturday, namely in the Netherlands and Qatar. Grid (row starting position) consists of 3 riders perbaris and usually every racing series, followed by about 20 racers. Racing held for about 45 minutes and the driver raced along the specified number of rounds, without entering the pits to change tires or refuel. Racing will be repeated in the event of a fatal accident early in the race. The composition of the grid is not changed according to qualifying results. Riders allowed in the pit if only to replace the motor because of rain during the race.
