The FIM has announced that high-tech light panels are to be mandatory at all MotoGP and WSBK circuits - FIA Grade 1 and FIM Grade A from 2022 , and EWC circuits from 2023 . The light panels can be operated by race control or trackside by marshals and are used to display crucial information to competitors . Currently in F1 , the championship promoter is responsible for transporting the top-level panels to each race but then removes them , meaning that other events on those circuits do not have access to this safety technology . The new requirement will mean that every championship competing on those circuits will have access to F1 levels of safety technology .
