MotoGP officials and the Grand Prix Commission have introduced several regulatory changes and proposals affecting various racing classes.

Initial proposals focused on the 2027 race weekend format, suggesting separate qualifying sessions for the Saturday Sprint race and the Sunday Grand Prix to more closely mirror the Formula 1 model. This could include splitting qualifying into three segments.

Subsequent regulatory announcements from the Grand Prix Commission included immediate safety measures, such as banning practice starts from the pitlane exit. In the MotoGP class, the 20,000 RPM limit will be formally codified in the official regulations. 

For the Moto2 class, significant changes are slated for 2027 with the introduction of new Triumph engine specifications, which will require new chassis and result in teams starting the season without concessions. Furthermore, a transition to 100% non-fossil fuels for both Moto2 and Moto3 is scheduled for the 2028 season.
