All MotoGP competitors will race with 22 litres of fuel from 2016, two litres more than the present Factory limit. That is two litres more than the current level for the Factory class, meaning official Honda and Yamaha riders will get a fuel increase for the first time since limits were introduced. A shared ECU is the centrepiece for the 2016 rules, which will see the current classes - Factory for Honda and Yamaha, Factory 2 for Ducati, Suzuki and Aprilia, Open for standard ECU teams - replaced by one set of regulations. Rule changes for 2015 decided at the December 16 meeting in Madrid included a €70,000 price limit for MotoGP brake packages - discs, pads, calipers and master cylinders. Teams may choose a package that does not include calipers for a maximum of €60,000. In Moto2, rear tyre pressure sensors will become compulsory, to enable the Technical Director to enforce existing regulations that require riders to use the pressures approved by the official supplier.
