Gino Borsoi On CRT Engines: "An Extra Engine Would Be Better"

With the engine allocation rules now in their third season, the factories have the system down to a tee. So much so that even though Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies have both lost an engine due to a blow up, both men should make it easily to the end of the season, needing only to shuffle their engines slightly more often than normal. The fact that Casey Stoner made it to the end of the 2011 season having used just 5 of the 6 engines allowed show just how well the current factories have the situation in hand.

Things are not quite so simple for the CRT teams, however. The teams face two challenges. The first is rather obvious: this is the first year that the teams are racing under the Claiming Rules, and they have no experience of running these engines with a restricted allocation of engines. In World Superbikes, where the racing versions of these engines have been developed, there are no limits on engines, and the teams can swap the engines as often as they like.
