2. Introduction

MotoGP currently has three levels, MOTO3, MOTO2, and MotoGP, that is, each station has three groups of events. The Moto GP group was upgraded from the GP500. The main change was the conversion from the original two-stroke 500cc engine to a 990cc four-stroke engine. Since this reform measure was officially confirmed and implemented by the International Federation of Motorcycles (FIM) in 2000, MotoGP's status in motorcycle racing is equivalent to F1's current status in formula racing. The racing cars used in MotoGP are all specially made, pursuing speed and focusing on viewing, no less than F1. Because the body of MotoGP racing car is narrower than that of F1, there are more vehicles participating in the competition, and the overtaking opportunities are much more than that of F1, and sometimes the ranking changes almost every lap. It also happens from time to time that drivers suddenly sprint and change the pattern on the last lap or even the last corner. In addition, in the MotoGP event, the driver's body is completely exposed, and generally they do not pit to refuel, and there is no pit-stop strategy. Therefore, MotoGP is more exciting and exciting than F1.

3. Level

MotoGP is divided into three levels: MotoGP level (1000cc), Moto2 level (600cc replaces the original GP250 level) and Moto3 level (250cc replaces the original GP125 level). All classes now feature four-stroke engines.
