Pedro Acosta has given his verdict on the latest development of MotoGP's in-helmet radio system, having tested a revised earplug design during the Sachsenring and Silverstone rounds. The audio system is initially aimed at transmitting safety messages from Race Direction, but the long-term goal is to allow two-way, F1-style communication between riders and teams.
The Red Bull KTM rider explained that the latest development focused on improving the comfort of the earplugs. "It's the earplugs that Dorna want us to use for the audio, but it was the first test, I would say," Acosta commented. "I am a bit special with the earplugs, and they found a good compromise. Quite happy for this."
The Spaniard, who finished fifth in the British MotoGP, added: "Normally I like the 3M [foam earplugs], and also they are the ones I have used since I was sixteen. They [Dorna] found a way to put the earplugs that I like with a [new custom ear] mould. I don't know how they will develop the audio thing, but the minimum is that it is comfortable. The other ones that we tried before were not OK."
Acosta confirmed he used the new design in both Sachsenring and Silverstone because he finds them comfortable. "If not, then I would have gone back to the standard ones," he stated. As of now, no date has been set for the introduction of a MotoGP radio system. This development marks a significant step towards enhanced communication in the premier class, as the sport continues to embrace advanced technology.
