Ducati Corse
By: Francesca Gino and Andrew P. McAfee
Abstract
Ducati Corse, the racing arm of Ducati Motorcycles, has entered the Moto GP circuit with a completely new bike. This bike was designed and tested using a great deal of information technology. After a very successful initial season, the Ducati Moto GP team sees performance deteriorate significantly. Team technical director Fillipo Preziosi must decide what changes, if any, to make in the current approach to designing, improving, and racing motorcycles. Includes color exhibits.
