MotoGP: Trackhouse Unveils Distinctive American-themed Livery for 2024 Season

The Trackhouse Racing team has unveiled its unique livery in preparation for the 2024 MotoGP season, which will be the team's first. The American team, which has an impressive reputation in NASCAR, has partnered closely with the Italian company Aprilia and is currently using the grid positions that were previously occupied by RNF, a customer team of Aprilia. The team is based out of Aprilia's Noale factory. The recently unveiled livery continues the strong American motif of last month's concept design, which was a nod to the famous USA flag bike that MotoGP winner Nicky Hayden rode during testing more than ten years ago.

Dorna Sports, the series promoter, unfortunately, barred RNF, headed by Razlan Razali, from competing in the 2024 MotoGP. The decision was reached due to "repeated infractions." The failure of CryptoDATA, the team's majority stakeholder and title partner, to settle overdue invoices with the championship and other suppliers caused the financial troubles.

With a Friday night event in Los Angeles to kick off the 2024 season, Trackhouse formally announced its participation into MotoGP in December. An improvement upon the previously unveiled livery, the new colour palette of red, white, and blue highlights the team's strong American character. Trackhouse is set to field a factory bike for rider Oliveira in the next 2024 season, thanks to its improved working relationship with Aprilia in comparison to its predecessor, RNF.

Trackhouse Racing owner Justin Marks said: "This launch is an incredible moment. It’s the combination of an incredible amount of work that everybody at Trackhouse, MotoGP™ and Aprilia have put together in a very short period of time to make a little bit of magic happen. That’s basically in the space of two or three months, we set up a MotoGP™ team, ready to compete and to be able to do something great on the racetrack. We’ve got a group of people that are all very, very talented and passionate about the season ahead of us. It’s also special, because we are an American team. We are a global brand, but an American company and to be able to celebrate the formation of this team and debut these incredible bikes in an iconic American city like Hollywood is truly a special, special thing. I look forward to the season."

Miguel Oliveira said: "I'm obviously super happy to be in the US launching this American team in MotoGP. It’s a great pleasure to be a part of the Trackhouse family. I can’t wait to get started with the new season, new colours, exciting colours, very racy and competitive ones. I can’t wait to get on the new bike during the test in a few days and get the season started."

Raul Fernandez said: "Today you saw our livery for this year. For me it’s really nice and it’s a great opportunity to show the American flag. I think it’s great that America will have a MotoGP™ team, so for me, it’s a huge pleasure to be here and show this flag. I really like the US and its people. The presentation was just amazing. To be here in Los Angeles is just a dream! I’m really happy and have a great feeling for this season. I think I’ll enjoy it a lot. See you on track!"

In addition to VR46, the factory Ducati squad, and Gresini, Trackhouse is the fourth team this year to unveil their 2024 livery.
