As a manufacturer with Concession class D, Yamaha has the opportunity to change Aerobody/Aerodynamic Parts twice throughout the current season. And the official information is that at the 6th Series MotoGP Catalunya 2024, Yamaha will Homologate the second Aerobody at MotoGP Catalunya 2024.
Team manager of the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP team, Massimo Maregalli is the person who informed this “The next two weeks will be very important because the Catalan GP and Italian GP are consecutive. In Barcelona we will apply some of our findings from the private test we held last week in Mugello.
“Based on positive data, it is very likely that we will homologate the second aerodynamic package. However, Montmeló usually doesn’t have as much grip as Mugello, especially on the first day of a GP weekend. Last year this was a problem for us, but we are preparing countermeasures with the aim of managing it as best as possible.
Meanwhile, Fabio Quartararo felt curious to see the aero effect of this second race weekend. “After the Mugello Private Test, we chose the aerodynamic version that we will try here this weekend. I’m interested to see what it will be like. For sure, we will do our best, as always. “
And based on the Test results, Alex Rins stated that this Aero is the aero he likes “This weekend we will have a new Aero Package available to us, the version I like. So, overall, I’m really looking forward to starting racing at Montmelo.”
In general, the new very strong aerodynamic package is thought to be the package that was tried at Mugello a few days ago, which features a front winglet with a larger downforce generating area. The wing blades are no longer two but three with several possible changes also on the side fairing and stern of the Yamaha M1
