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."

Toyota launch the new TF109 online

With the credit crunch hitting all of us, Toyota has decided to launch their new Formula 1 car, the TF109, online.

With all manufacturers feeling the pinch lately, Formula 1 launches have been far more low key this year. As a result Toyota have decided to make use of the internet for the launch of their next new car the TF109. Visit http://www.tf109-premiere.com/ and you can be just as on the ball as the press, best be quick though, the launch is 12 noon on the 15th of January.

Sorry you missed it.
