Spanish company Inmotec has unveiled a MotoGP machine (pictured) with which it plans to take part in several events during the 2010 season.
Designed and built entirely in Spain, the Inmotec bike is scheduled to make its MotoGP debut on home asphalt in next year’s Grand Prix of Catalunya, on July 4, with test rider Ivan Silva at the controls.
Inmotec then hopes to enter the Misano, Brno, Balatonring and Valencia rounds, before supplying their machines as a manufacturer in 2011.
Unfortunately, small independent manufacturers have a poor record of survival since the switch to four-strokes in 2002, with Ilmor, WCM and Team Roberts all dropping out – even Japanese giant Kawasaki was forced to quit at the end of last year.
Famous Italian brand Ducati, which made its MotoGP debut in 2003, is the outstanding exception to the ‘new’ manufacturer rule.
