Trackhouse Racing MotoGP™ is making waves in the motorsports world once again as they unveil their inaugural color scheme for the Aprilia RS-GP motorcycles. Set against the backdrop of Southern California's vibrant atmosphere and the dazzling lights of Los Angeles, the team showcased their new look in front of a select audience comprising US racing legends and industry elites.
Justin Marks, the visionary owner of Trackhouse Entertainment Group, made waves in December 2023 with the announcement of the team's foray into the MotoGP™ World Championship, expanding their influence beyond the NASCAR series. Now, just six weeks later, the team is ready to debut its season-opening design, featuring Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez in their distinctive team colors.
With a nod to American racing heritage, Trackhouse Racing MotoGP™ aims to continue the legacy established by iconic figures such as Kenny Roberts, Nicky Hayden, and Eddie Lawson. The team's livery reflects this rich history while signaling the dawn of a new era in American involvement in the premier class of road racing.
Central to Trackhouse's mission is a commitment to on-track performance and championship excellence, mirroring their approach in NASCAR. Collaborating closely with Aprilia Racing and the Piaggio Group, Trackhouse aims to leverage global opportunities and push the boundaries of motorsports.
The team's rider lineup embodies this ethos, combining experience and youthful talent:
Miguel Oliveira, known for his exceptional talent and intelligence on the track, brings a wealth of experience to Trackhouse Racing MotoGP™. Despite setbacks in the 2023 season due to injuries, Oliveira's five race wins highlight his potential to excel with the new Aprilia RS-GP bike.
Joining Oliveira is Raul Fernandez, a rising star in the MotoGP™ World Championship. From his early days on the tracks of Madrid, Fernandez has been earmarked as one to watch. Despite his rookie status, he made a significant impact in the Moto2™ class, clinching eight victories in 2021. With a strong finish in the 2023 season, Fernandez is poised to showcase his speed and skill throughout the 2024 campaign.
As Trackhouse Racing MotoGP™ embarks on its maiden season, all eyes are on the team as they aim to leave their mark on the global stage of motorcycle racing, representing the spirit of American racing with passion and determination.
