Since KTM made its debut in 2017, MotoGP has not had any new constructors in the field – Aprilia only became a full factory team in 2023, separating from Gresini, but it was already present at that time.
However, in the coming years, there should be new constructors in the premier class. In 2027, new technical regulations will be implemented, and as it is the beginning of a cycle, it is the ideal time to enter the championship on more equal terms with the current constructors.
Jorge Viegas, president of FIM, was asked by MOW Mag about the possibility of new manufacturers entering. In his response, the Portuguese left no room for doubt: ‘We will see new brands‘.
There are rumors that BMW or Kawasaki could be these constructors, but Viegas refused to go into details: ‘Don’t make me say more. But trust me, there is a great interest around MotoGP, and there will be no shortage of those who want to try‘.
In addition to not having any new constructors since KTM’s entry in 2017, MotoGP also witnessed the surprising departure of Suzuki at the end of 2022. The Pierer Mobility group introduced the GasGas identity in the Tech3 satellite team last year, but it is not a different constructor from KTM – just a brand identity difference.
