After many years waiting to record some raw MotoGP testing footage on a proper race track, yesterday I finally managed to attend a test session among some of the 2024 teams at Mugello Circuit, in Italy. The test was predominantly organized by Honda and Yamaha, but there was also Aprilia taking advantage of the opportunity for some further developments with their test rider, Lorenzo Savadori.

The Japanese manufacturers are permitted additional test days as part of the 2024 MotoGP concessions rules, an attempt to help the manufacturers most in need from a performance point of view, stipulated by a ranking depending on the percentage of the possible maximum points each brand has accrued in a determined time frame. One very beneficial aspect of being in the lowest rank is the possibility to carry out these test days with the official riders, limited only by the number of tyres available (which are higher in number than the highest ranked constructors).
Other advantages for these teams are the development of the engine, which, unlike the constructors without concessions, is not frozen, and the possibility to test on an unlimited number of circuits where a World Championship race will be held.

Riders taking part were Repsol Honda’s Joan Mir and Luca Marini and LCR Honda’s Johann Zarco and Takaaki Nakagami developing the 2024 RC213Vs. For Yamaha, Alex Rins and Fabio Quartararo were on track with their YZR-M1s.

Listen to the 1.0-liter V4 engines of the Aprilia and Honda prototypes compared to the 1.0-liter cross-plane inline-4 of the YZR-M1s on the ups and downs of the Tuscan circuit!
