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.Renault could quit F1 over "Satellite teams". Pitpass. Retrieved 9 March 2019.
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.Di MotoGP Ada Tim Satelit dan Pabrikan, Apa Sih Maksudnya dan Siapa Saja?
