Spec ECU for CRT MotoGP bikes in 2013
Spec ECUs are usually introduced to allow electronic aids such as traction and launch control to be banned.
But MotoGP's main motive is to raise the standard of the CRT electronics to help them close the performance gap to the manufacturer bikes.
In an interview with Dorna's Gavin Emmett for Speed TV, Ezpeleta said:
“For next year we already ordered an ECU to be used by all the CRT. One of the difficulties between the CRT and the full factory engines is the electronics. If we provide all of them with a very good electronics this will permit to increase the performance of the CRT.”
Ezpeleta added that discussions are continuing regarding the future introduction of a control ECU and a rev limit for all MotoGP machines.
