Satellite Team
In motorsport, a satellite team is a team related to a larger, better-funded team (which may be referred to as the factory team), which may involve ownership, technical support, and staff sharing, including drivers. Definition If the larger team is factory-backed (i.e. supported by a manufacturer), then the satellite team is termed a semi-works team. In motorcycle racing such as MotoGP, factory teams are given the most up-to-date motorcycles and parts, while satellite teams may use the previous season's motorcycle and are given equipment updates only after the factory team has had them.
