MotoGP: Trackhouse Aprilia Reveals New Gulf Livery for 2025 Season Opener

Trackhouse Racing has revealed its catchy new Gulf Oil livery ahead of the MotoGP season opener in Thailand. The American team, which competes with Raul Fernandez and Ai Ogura, has swapped its original blue-and-black design for the iconic blue-and-orange colours linked to Gulf’s racing legacy at Le Mans. This bold new look ensures that the Trackhouse Aprilia RS-GP machines stand out on the grid. The Gulf branding will feature prominently for the first two rounds in Thailand and Argentina, with both riders sporting matching Gulf-themed racing gears. The team’s garage at Buriram and Termas de Rio Hondo will also reflect the new Gulf oil colours. Trackhouse Racing first partnered with Gulf in December, initially placing its logo only on the front mudguard.
