This is due to the shapes of some fuel tanks making it impossible for a probe to measure temperature in all sections of the fuel tank. The fuel tank must be empty prior to filling from the separate container. For practical and cost reasons, wild card entries in the MotoGP class will be free to use any ECU and software. MotoGP class wild card entries will be permitted to use a maximum of three engines at each event. Other Matters MotoGP Class Categories It has already been announced that MotoGP class entries opting to use the Magneti Marelli ECU but their own software will be designated as competing under the “Factory” option.
