Motogp Livery :Everything you want to know about ADV News, Photos & Exclusive stories.

Ahead of the second preseason test in Qatar, Aprilia Racing has offered a glimpse of its 2024 livery, signalling its ambitions to dominate this season’s MotoGP championship. While the RS-GPs of Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales have undergone significant modifications, the bike's livery remains largely unchanged, featuring a predominantly black paint scheme accented by red and purple highlights.

According to Romano Albesiano, the technical director, substantial improvements have been implemented in the 2024 racing machine while maintaining a strong connection to last year’s competitive spirit. Among the notable modifications, the aero component stands out significantly. Albesiano also mentioned that the frame, chassis, swing arm, engine components, and electronics are among the new elements integrated into Aprilia’s 2024 racing machine.

Aprilia has long been recognized for its innovative approach to producing aerodynamic components for MotoGP motorcycles. The unveiling of the updated Aprilia motorcycle during the MotoGP 2024 livery reveal in Lusail, Qatar, underscores the creativity of the Noale-based team.

In addition to the wings, the motorcycle's tail features a diffuser aimed at generating additional downforce. This increased downward pressure is expected to enhance traction on both straightaways and bends, enabling the motorcycle to navigate corners and accelerate swiftly.

To enhance the RS-GP's competitiveness in MotoGP, Aprilia has prioritized aerodynamic development, dedicating resources to address issues such as extreme heat, which can pose challenges for riders. The redesigned fairing incorporates graduated perforations on the sides alongside larger wings. These modifications not only improve aerodynamics but also aid in dispersing engine heat, thereby mitigating the risk of riders being affected by heat exposure.

<h2>Aprilia 2024 Livery: What the Team Has to Say?</h2>

While showcasing the official version of Aprilia RS-GP24, Aleix Espargaro said, ‘The growth we have demonstrated in recent seasons has been incredible. I am proud to be part of this project, which I have always considered to be my second family. In 2024, we’ll make another step forward.’

His teammate, Maverick Vinales added, ‘Our 2023 season ended on an upward trend, and we want to continue that now. The feeling with the team is outstanding. During the winter break, I trained like mad, and I have faith in Aprilia Racing’s work. If we continue to set the goal of squeezing the most out of our technical package every weekend, the results will follow naturally.’

Massimo Rivola, Aprilia Racing CEO, said, ‘Over the past few years, <a href="https://www.autox.com/motorsport-news/motogp-trackhouse-racing-solidifies-multi-year-extension-with-aprilia-targets-two-factory-bikes-115580/">Aprilia Racing</a> has embarked on a process of continuous growth. First, we became an official team, and then, with our satellite team, we had four bikes on the track. In 2024 we’re raising the bar even higher by starting from the get-go with three RS-GPs in the same official specification.’

He further added, ‘It’s quite a challenge for the racing division, but it’s also a signal of the evolution of this project on all fronts. We want to be a major player in MotoGP and we’ve got everything lined up to make that happen.’

Romano Albesiano, Technical Director, said, ‘Our approach to the 2024 season couldn’t ignore the excellent base we’ve created, particularly over the last two championships. The RS-GP is a “mature” design that is in line with the Aprilia philosophy. We’ve tried to evolve every aspect.’

He further added, ‘The aerodynamics are perhaps where the most obvious changes have been made. We’ve introduced some concepts that are most definitely innovative to improve the aerodynamic load without affecting efficiency.’

Aprilia Racing has unveiled its MotoGP 2024 livery. The livery is almost unchanged from the previous year except for adding more purple to the RS-GP's fairing.

The VR46 squad will debut their new "Pertamina" livery at an event in Italy later this month. The Indonesian oil company Pertamina has taken over as the new title sponsor for Valentino Rossi's team for the next third season in the premier class, replacing Mooney. Asmirandi Noor Huda, brand communications manager at Pertamina, revealed the debut date to TMC Blog as January 24th in Italy, while VR46 has not officially announced it. A hectic week of MotoGP launches begins with the Gresini Ducati on January 20, followed by the factory Ducati Lenovo team on the 22nd.

In 2023, VR46 made history by winning its first MotoGP races and, for a short time, sharing the lead in the world championship with Marco Bezzecchi. For the 2024 season, Bezzecchi will be back at the helm of the squad's equipment, which is a year old Ducati. Fabio di Giannantonio, winner of the Qatar Grand Prix, joins him from Gresini to replace Luca Marini.&nbsp;

<h2>MotoGP: VR46 and Pertamina&nbsp;</h2>

For the next three premier class seasons, Valentino Rossi's VR46 MotoGP team will be sponsored by the Indonesian oil giant Pertamina. The squad will be known as the Pertamina Enduro V46 Racing Team starting in the 2024 season. Notably, the announcement of Pertamina's entry into premier class title sponsorship occurred over the same weekend as the Indonesian Grand Prix, and the company is also the title sponsor of that race. According to VR46 Team Director Alessio Salucci, the upcoming alliance is "crucial" for Rossi's operation to keep its competitive advantage in MotoGP for the upcoming seasons.

<h2>MotoGP: VR46 and Yamaha</h2>

An important decision will be made in the next months by the VR46 team as they near the end of their contract with Ducati. The Valentino Rossi team has to consider Desmosedici's competitive advantage with respect to the monetary rewards Yamaha may give as a supplier.

The VR46 team seems like the most likely candidate to receive the two M1s from Yamaha, considering the undeniable charisma that Rossi still possesses for the brand. This is especially proven by his recent agreement to be the company's principal ambassador until the end of 2024. Rossi is still a major attraction in MotoGP, even if he retired two years ago.

Although VR46's Ducatis were a year old for the 2023 MotoGP season, they were more competitive than Fabio Quartararo's and Franco Morbidelli's Yamaha teams. With Bezzecchi at the wheel, VR46 was a formidable competitor for the MotoGP title. The squad is planning for another successful season in their current configuration in 2024 before making a much-discussed, maybe major, shift.
