・A maximum of 4 team staff per rider may assist in the machine change, other team members must remain in the pit box or signalling area.

・The 4 pit lane staff will be identified by compulsory wearing of a helmet, approved by the Technical Director.

・It is forbidden for the spare machine to be in gear before the rider changes bikes, only the rider may engage the gear (it is permitted for a team member to hold the clutch lever), the penalty for breach of this rule is disqualification.

[1.30.2]

The maximum number of team personnel per rider in the working area in front of the pits is limited to:

- 8 for MotoGP in free practice sessions and warm up

- 4 for MotoGP in Qualifying 1 and Qualifying 2 sessions and in case of machine changes during a race declared wet (refer to Art. 1.18.17). These 4 team personnel will be identified by the compulsory wearing of a helmet, approved by the Technical Director.

- 6 for Moto3 and Moto2

2. Tyre Sensors
Tyre Air Pressure Sensors (TAPS) to monitor and log tyre pressure and temperature are mandatory in the MotoGP Class with the following conditions:

・All wheels (front and rear) fitted with tyres must have TAPS fitted and the data logged at all times the wheels are on the motorcycle.

・The Technical Director and staff, and the Official Tyre Supplier staff may check the pressure and temperature of a tyre at any time.

・Such measurement will normally be taken using a hand-held RF receiver so only tyre data is taken. In exceptional circumstances (eg. following an incident or safety concern) the Technical Director may request the logged tyre data from the ECU/ datalogger, and teams must comply with such requests.

2. Tyre Sensors
Tyre temperature/pressure sensors are permitted in all classes.

（原文）

The use of any device on the wheel to adjust the tyre pressure whilst on track is prohibited. The use of Tyre Air Pressure Sensors (TAPS) on all wheels, front and rear, is mandatory in the MotoGP class, including logging of TAPS data at all times.

（原文）

In collaboration with Michelin and the MotoGP class manufacturers a new system will be implemented that will enable automatic detection of the tyres that that riders are using and to make that information available to all riders and teams as well as to the TV broadcasters.

[2.4.4.7 Bodywork]

1. The windscreen edge and the edges of all other exposed parts of the streamlining must be rounded.

2. The maximum width of bodywork must not exceed 600 mm.
The width of the seat or anything to its rear shall not be more than 450 mm (exhaust pipes excepted).

3. Bodywork must not extend beyond a line drawn vertically at the leading edge of the front tyre and a line drawn vertically at the rearward edge of the rear tyre. The suspension should be fully extended when the measurement is taken.

2. The maximum width of bodywork must not exceed 600 mm.
The width of the seat or anything to its rear shall not be more than 450 mm (exhaust pipes excepted).
The width of the windscreen must not exceed 300 mm (measured in a straight line).
The length of the windscreen must not exceed 370 mm (measured along the windscreen surface).

3. Bodywork must not extend more than 150 mm beyond a line drawn vertically from the centre of the front wheel spindle and a line drawn vertically at the rearward edge of the rear tyre. The suspension should be fully extended when the measurement is taken.

8. Wings may be fitted provided they are an integral part of the fairing or seat and do not exceed the width of the fairing or seat or the height of the handlebars. All edges of any wings fitted must have a minimum radius of 2.5 mm. Moving aerodynamic devices are prohibited.

（原文）

[2017version]
8. Devices or shapes protruding from the fairing or bodywork and not integrated in the body streamlining (eg. wings, fins, bulges, etc.) that may provide an aerodynamic effect (eg. Providing downforce, disrupting aerodynamic wake, etc.) are no allowed.
The Technical Director will be the sole judge of whether a device or fairing design falls into the above definition.
Moving aerodynamic devices are prohibited.

10. MotoGP Aero Body Homologation
The MotoGP Aero Body is defined as the portion of the motorcycle bodywork that is directly impacted by the airflow while the motorcycle is moving forward, and is not in the wake (ie. aerodynamic “shadow”) of the rider’s body or any other motorcycle body parts. Therefore the Aero Body consists of the two separate components Front Fairing and Front Fender (Mudguard), as per the diagrams the Appendix, General： Fig.4, Fig.5.

Only the external shape, excluding the windscreen, is defined in this regulation, so the following parts are not considered as part of the Aero Body： windscreen, cooling ducts, fairing supports, and any other parts inside the external profile of the bodywork.

Pit Lane Safety

It was previously announced that the number of team staff working on a MotoGP class machine during bike changes in flag to flag racing and during QP1 and QP2 is limited to four, each of whom must wear a crash helmet. After representations from the teams it has been confirmed that during QP1 and QP2 a maximum of six team staff are permitted, each of whom must wear a crash helmet. The maximum number in flag to flag bike changes remains unchanged at four..

Penalty points

Taking into consideration that the FIM MotoGP Stewards have many penalties options, the penalty points were no longer necessary. The Grand Prix penalty points are now withdrawn from the list of penalties.

Dashboard Displays and Messages

It has already been confirmed that machines in the Moto3 and MotoGP class must have the dashboard facility to display text messages, linked to the current warning lights, with effect from 2018. This will also apply to the Moto2 class from 2019. The GPC have now confirmed the precise list of messages that will be sent with the warning lights by Race Direction.
Some teams already have the facility on their machine dashboards to receive text messages and, following approval from the Safety Commission, the GPC confirmed that such teams may already use this facility as a “virtual pit board”. This does not require any amendments to existing regulations.

General: Fig. 7: Dashboard Display Signals

The signals in the following Table may be transmitted by Race Direction using the Timekeeping transponder. All machines must have a system approved by the Technical Director to clearly display these signals to the rider.

（原文）

Note that from 2018 (MotoGP, Moto3) and 2019 (Moto2), approval of the Technical Director will only be given if the system complies with the following:

・The following text messages (TEXT in the table below) are displayed, combined with a yellow light or lights (flashing or steady). The minimum text character dimension is 5 mm in height.

・Information lights used for other purposes may not be used to also convey Race Direction signals, to ensure there is no confusion over signals.

・The signal light(s) must have adequate brightness.

*it is highly recommended (but not compulsory) to display the message DROP-##, where ## is an added 2-digit field representing the number of positions to drop. GP Commission, Assen 24/06/2017

・Red Flag and Red Lights
When the race or practice is being interrupted, the red flag will be waved at each flag marshal post and the red lights around the track will be switched on. Riders must return slowly to the pits.

（原文）

・Black Flag
This flag is used to convey instructions to one rider only and is waved at each flag marshal post together with the rider’s number. The rider must stop at the pits at the end of the current lap and cannot restart, when this flag results from a penalty.
This flag can also be presented to a rider for a reason other than a penalty (eg. to rectify a non-dangerous technical problem such as a transponder problem).

（原文）

・Black Flag with orange disk (φ 40 cm)
This flag is used to convey instructions to one rider only and is waved at each flag marshal post together with the rider’s number. This flag informs the rider that his motorcycle has mechanical problems likely to endanger himself or others, and that he must immediately leave the track.

（原文）

・Blue Flag
Waved at the flag marshal post, this flag indicates to a rider that he is about to be overtaken.
During the practice sessions, the rider concerned must keep his line and slow down gradually to allow the faster rider to pass him.
During the race, the rider concerned is about to be lapped. He must allow the rider(s) who are lapping him to pass him at the earliest opportunity, and passing within a group of lapped riders is forbidden under the blue flag.
