The performance of the MotoE at the Red Bull Ring, home of the Austrian GP, seventh round of the MotoE 2024. Thanks to the telemetry of the Ducati V21L, we show you the performance of MotoE along the entire Austrian circuit.
The Austrian Red Bull Ring circuit is 4318 meters long with eight right-hand corners, four left-hand corners and a 626-metre straight. There MotoE took to this track for the first time in 2019. Thanks to the telemetry shared by Ducati, we can show you the performance of the MotoE on this track. On this page, you can also find infographics of the track with speed and lean angle curve after curve.
The average lap record speed for the MotoE class at the Red Bull Ring is 158.8 km/h while the maximum speed reached by MotoE was 248.6 km/h. On the Austrian circuit, the electric class of MotoGP is with the throttle fully open 54.2% of the time while the engine braking is used 31.9% of the time. As for the brakes, the front is used 28.0% of the time. Regenerative braking of MotoE allows 11% of the energy used at the Red Bull Ring to be recovered.
The description of the Red Bull Ring circuit
At first glance the layout of the Red Bull Ring appears very simple but in reality it is a very difficult and demanding track.
The Spielberg circuit is very technical with long straights that end in very slow corners; you need to make long braking sections which cause the brake temperatures to skyrocket and it is not easy to have constant braking throughout the race.
Furthermore, it is not easy to find an ideal set-up because you need very hard forks to deal with strong decelerations, while the final part of the track is very smooth with fast corners that require a different set-up. A set-up that is also good for the last corners is important because they are the ones where you can overtake for victory on the last lap.
Another element to take into consideration on this track is that almost all the corners are right-handed, which means very high temperatures and wear on the right-hand side of the tyres. The left side, on the other hand, remains almost new but is never at the ideal temperature. The MotoE, due to its weight, pushes a lot on the tyres, and when you take left-hand corners, you feel like a completely different bike than you feel on right-hand corners.
