Trackhouse Team Unveils Striking Livery for Debut MotoGP Season
The Trackhouse team is set to turn heads on the track by unveiling an impressive color scheme for its first season in MotoGP.
Led by Justin Marks, the owner of a team that has achieved success in the NASCAR Cup Series, Trackhouse has taken a bold step into the MotoGP world by purchasing the grid slots of former MotoGP team RNF Racing during the 2023 season.
Trackhouse’s closer collaboration with Aprilia underlines the team’s determination to stand out from the competition. Under the interim management of RNF Racing last season, Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez achieved a striking performance with their RS-GP bikes from two years ago. Oliveira’s fourth place in his first Grand Prix, the British Grand Prix, was a significant success for the team.
Trackhouse’s entry into MotoGP coincides with the series’ aim to expand in the North American market. Bridgepoint Capital-owned Dorna’s appointment of former NBA commissioner Dan Rossomondo as Dorna’s chief commercial officer last year reflects this growth strategy.
The team will host the American Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin on the weekend of April 12-14. This will be an exciting opportunity for American fans to observe Trackhouse’s new presence in elite motorcycle racing.
But Trackhouse’s journey in MotoGP does not begin without challenges. Before the start in Qatar on March 10, the team is already carrying a long lap suspension for a crash involving Oliveira at the Qatar Grand Prix in November. Unfortunately, Oliveira’s suspension carries over to the new season as he has to miss the final races of 2023.
Trackhouse is the fourth team to announce its design for the 2024 season so far. After holding the Gresini, factory Ducati team and VR46 events last week, it can be said that it is Trackhouse’s turn.
With a striking aesthetic featuring the colors of the American flag on Aprilia motorcycles, Trackhouse is ready to make an impact on the MotoGP stage. Justin Marks, the visionary behind this breakthrough, is determined to bring the success he has achieved in NASCAR to the international motorcycle scene. The first season is all about Trackhouse establishing an unforgettable presence and delivering thrills at MotoGP races.
