How Did a Bunch of Backmarkers SAVE MotoGP?

- This is the story of how a bunch of cobbled-together backmarkers saved MotoGP.
MotoGP faced a severe problem in 2012. Suzuki had announced in 2011 that it wouldn’t continue after another poor season. Kawasaki had long since left the grid in 2008, and Aprilia KTM and any other manufacturer were uninterested in MotoGP. This meant that 2012 looked set to start with only 12 bikes-four apiece from Honda, Yamaha, and Ducati. This would have been a PR disaster, so something needed to be done quickly.
The answer came from the 'Claiming Rules Team' class, or CRT. It's a great story of desperation, cobbling together superbikes and using the rules to your advantage.

If you are wondering whether you have seen a version of this video before, you have. Dorna flagged the original version for copyright infringement (I've since sacked the editor!!), so I've created a new video. Interestingly, another channel copied the original script! I suppose imitation is a great form of flattery...
Thanks so much for creating these videos. such a shame dorna go so extreme with the copyright claims
@@Avago46 Maybe Liberty Media won't be so harsh!
I started watching 500GP back in the 80s and admit to losing interest in the sport during the 2010s because of the reduced number of bikes. This video was extremely interesting to me. I currently subscribe to MotoGP streaming and it's the only time in my life I have paid for sporting coverage. That is how entertaining I find the current series.
We must be twins!
huh. Never knew those backmarkers had such an impact on the fantastic racing we have today. That was a masterstroke from Dorna and the FIM I bet - something F1 could learn a thing or 7 about if they weren't so money hungry!
Great video, I'm glad I got your channel recommended to me!
My two favourite memories from the CRT era were Danillio absolutely ringing the neck of that IODA and Aleix leading at the Valencian GO. What were yours?
AB RACING with Karel Abraham, absolutley GOATED
As a newish MotoGP fan I’m very interested in learning about the history of the sport so videos like these are awesome! Keep them coming!
Congratulations on being part of the best racing in the world 🎉 you are gonna have a great time getting to know all the history!
What a great video essay. Loved MotoGP since the end of the 500s and this has explained so much of how MotoGP has transitioned to today.
Thank you!
i recalled aleix slaying gp riders on the crt and open. brilliance riding
Interesting explanation, pre 2016 moto gp was so boring because Japan team domination. After unified ECU,and tyre supplier abomations change, European team dominated, but equally struggling
Love your content. Really cool and informative videos. Keep it up!
Thank you!
TH-cam algorithm got me into your channel, congrats for this amazing MotoGP history content! Remendins me of The Race's F1 channel, keep it comming mate!
I started watching the series back in 2015 (that Infamous Rossi vs Lorenzo) and I remeber a interveriw with Marc Marquez after post-seoson test saying he went cracy when his Repson Honda Team swapped the highly complex ECU he was using for the Marelli standard one for the first time!
Standarizing the eletronics was a huge call from MotoGP, and that amazing 2016 season (as well as a few others that followed) were a testment of that!
MotoGP should now follow a similar path with aerodynamics, that have become the pivotal development point for the manufactures in recent years!
Thank You!
Great content John, keep it up! Also: 9:23 Ivan Silva?
Correct!
Nice one mate. Thanks for the upload!
Your videos are so interesting, and you're a great narrator 🙏🏼looking forward to many more ☺️
Great video sir! Subscribed and looking forward to more.
the precursor to CRT occurred in the early 90's with the rent a bikes
i could've swore to watched this video previously
Same.
You are correct. Dorna took the previous one down as it had too much of there content.
"duck" tape? 😂
A popular brand of duct tape 🦆
@@garytaylor4621 then that's Duck not duck
@@jeboks777What's he supposed to do? Capitalise his speech?
Is this a reupload? I’m getting Deja vu while watching this lol
Not deja vu!. Dorna took the previous one down as it had too much of their content.

great content
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Off topic but you know how various places in the world there are twisty public roads with local crazies doing amazing speeds? What IF race promoters capitalized on some of these folks by hosting a race along side of legitimate series made of a select bunch of these folks that is the best of em from all over the world! ...as a requirement NONE of the entrants can ever have held a racing license just your extra talented folks that started as squids and rose above the frey into local legends? Have any factories that want some cheap publicity provide their choice of rider(s) with aptly tuned production bikes and race support....in advance of that have various racing schools vet and endorse only the ones actually talented enough / safe as possible and then let the race announcers hype them up to the spectators....I think it could be SO good! So entertaining even more so for people from the areas these riders are plucked from....and I bet it would have a positive effect of getting some people to stop racing on public roads and gravitating to actual much safer race tracks! Plus as entertaining and exciting as it would no doubt be I think the difference in lap times between these and the "real" racers would demonstrate to typical street racers how far away they actually are compared to what they may have presumed.
I stopped watching after Lorenzo left.. The dude was a fearsome rider, I dont know i lost interest., Its becoming more about the engineers and less about the riders. Too many rider aids. And no strong rivalries everyone is too nice
👍🏻
It's duct tape not duck tape. Nobody tapes ducks. Maybe they have but it might be one weird dude somewhere.
So Kawasaki out, Suzuki out. Established teams like Honda and Yamaha have extra restriction placed on them and slimeball semi-cheaters Ducati prosper. Yeah, that's such a great system you got there. 🙄
Motogp is going to be renamed as Ducati Gp very soon.
Thanks for the monotonous presentation mate.
You’re welcome!
