Aerodynamics in MotoGP has increasingly evolved and since Ducati mounted “fins” on the tail of its Desmosedici for the first time, all the manufacturers have started to develop alternative solutions to those of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer.

Honda MotoGP becomes F1
In HRC the road to returning to competitiveness also passes through the aerodynamic study, perhaps the aspect where the Japanese company has lagged behind the most in recent years. Thus, taking advantage of the possibility of free testing and homologating multiple aerodynamic packages during the season, the house of the golden wing began to churn out various innovations right from the first championship races. Arriving in Jerez, in the garage of Stefan Bradl’s test team, a new version of the RC213V’s tail appeared with a striking wing that is increasingly reminiscent of those of Formula 1 cars.. Unlike the wings on the fairing or on the side fairings, the tail is not subject to “approval” and therefore Honda, but also the other manufacturers, are free to change it and modify it several times during the season.
A wing which, as mentioned, is reminiscent of that of the KTM, the Austrians have already brought this type of winger since last season or Yamaha has tried it several times. HRC is actually linked to Formula1 by a much more direct thread than one might think, the current ruler of Formula1 Max Verstappen on Red Bull Racingwhich is easily associated with KTM in the world of two wheels, It owes much of its success to the engine which is supplied by the Japanese racing department of the Golden Wing.
