Grand Prix Commission: Flag changes and Moto3™ ECU updates

The Grand Prix Commission, composed of Messrs. Carmelo Ezpeleta (Dorna, Chairman), Paul Duparc (FIM), Herve Poncharal (IRTA) and Biense Bierma (MSMA), in the presence of Jorge Viegas (FIM President), Carlos Ezpeleta (Dorna), Mike Trimby (IRTA, Secretary of the meeting) and Corrado Cecchinelli (Director of Technology), in a meeting held in Lusail on 4 March 2022, made the following decisions:

Following feedback from the riders, it was agreed to redefine the situations in which certain flags and light panels defining lack of adhesion were displayed. The new meanings of flags will be:

Yellow and Red Striped Flag
The adhesion on this section of the track could be affected by any reason other than rain (oil, gravel, grass or other debris). This flag must be shown waved at the flag marshal post.

White Flag with diagonal red cross
Drops of rain on this section of the track including rain affecting the track surface. This flag must be waved at the flag marshal post.

With the agreement of the FIM, in order to have consistency, the same meaning for flags will be applied at other FIM and National Series. 

TECHNICAL REGULATIONS - Moto3™ - EFFECTIVE 2023
To facilitate the introduction of an automatic warning system for riders approaching the scene of a crash, it will be necessary to make certain modifications to the electronics, including the enforcement and unification of the DellOrto 6-axis IMU and the BC-OUT_RL-300 power module from 2D. Modified equipment and systems will be effective from 2023. However, development of the technology will be carried out in race situations in 2022.
