YOGYAKARTA In 2023, there are a number of new rules in MotoGP that have previously been agreed upon by the Grand Prix Commission (GPC). The new rules include several things such as points acquisition to other technical matters related to the 2023 MotoGP Sprint Race race.

As is known, the official MotoGP 2023 competition will soon be held. The opening of the competition is the Portuguese GP which will be held on March 26, 2023.

This season seems to be different from last season. The reason is that the 2023 MotoGP applies a new format, especially with the Sprint Race format. In general, the Sprint Race is a short-distance Grand Prix race. This race will be held in each Grand Prix on Saturday.

The rules also concern conditions when the race stops in the middle of the road. Here's the explanation.

While the technical-related rules are as follows.

MotoGP sprint Race is a short race held every Saturday afternoon in every round. This race was held to increase the enthusiasm of the community before Sunday's race, to be precise at 15.00 p.m. local time. Meanwhile, the track distance is in the range of half or 50 percent of the normal race length.

The points being pursued in the Sprint Race are half of the normal race. For example, a normal racer needs 25 points to be able to stand on the uatam podium in Sunday's race. While the need for a Sprint Race is only 12 points. The rules for points in the race are as follows.

It should be noted that the Sprint Race does not specify grids in the Grand Prix. The race is free and the rider does not have to consider the grid position in Sunday's race.
