Norton continued to make contact with Dorna about its potential to perform at MotoGP 2012, which will use the engine capacity of 1,000 cc. Legendary British brand is hoping to get a place in the arena.
Nevertheless, Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta said, there is no guarantee Norton will appear on next season. The reason is, so far Norton's boss, Stuart Garner, is still in talks with Inmotec based in Spain concerning the takeover of V4 project. The project is scheduled to appear in the 2010 season, but failed to be realized. According to MCN, Norton also held talks with Austrian company, KTM, concerning technical cooperation, including RC8 1,000 cc motor.
Ezpeleta said: "Norton has a very good plan on paper and they have talked about it with Inmotec. They sent a letter to inquire about the approval to participate. However, we have told them when they tell us about the motors and machines that will be used so later on we can proceed. However, I have more talks with Norton. "
