The 2027 MotoGP regulations aim to improve the motorcycles, creating more spectacular races with increased overtaking opportunities. However, there is some skepticism regarding the actual effects of these changes.
The new regulations include slight changes to the front fairing dimensions, limited development opportunities for rear aerodynamics throughout the season, a ban on ride-height devices, and a reduction in engine displacement from the current 1,000cc to 850cc.
Pedro Acosta, making his debut in the premier class this year, is likely to be at the peak of his career in 2027. During a press conference, the Red Bull GasGas Tech3 rider shared his thoughts on the upcoming regulations:
– I don’t really think about these new regulations. Changing the displacement will not change anything. Maybe the devices yes, because it’s going to be a little easier for us. It’s not so easy to engage the front, then to remember to put the launch at the rear, and many things before the start. But taking out this aero in the front, I don’t think it’s going to change anything. At the end we are going to be as faster as now in the corners.
