Motogp to follow Formula 1 in costcutting

Following the decision by Kawasaki to withdraw from the Motogp series plans are being made to reduce the costs of racing. With ideas similar to those of Formula 1.

The main area the organisers and teams are looking at is making the engines last for a minimum of two races, with that possibly being increased to three races over a period of time.

These rules may be difficult to implement this season, but with both manufacturers and organisers recognising the scale of the financial problems ahead, I think it will only be a matter of time.

Ducati team boss Livio Suppo said "Now we have on the table what can be done, we wait for the GP commission to transform the proposals in proper regulations."
