Trackhouse Racing purchased the flailing RNF Racing MotoGP staff on the finish of the 2023 season. Because the satellite tv for pc staff for Aprilia, it struggled throughout its premier 2024 season. The American squad, headquartered in Nashville, Tenn., completed the season ninth within the Groups Championship with a pair of sixth-place finishes amongst its accomplishments. The 2024 season Crimson/White/Blue rah-rah America livery is gone, changed by an eye-searing vibrant blue/highlighter yellow Trackhouse livery, which completely guidelines. Trackhouse is the primary MotoGP staff to point out off its 2025 season machine.
In equity to Trackhouse, the staff didn’t really get its fingers on Aprilia’s latest and finest bike, the RS-GP, till mid-season final 12 months. Even nonetheless, it managed to outscore the manufacturing facility Honda squad and practically took down the famed Monster Vitality Yamaha staff as properly. For 2025, the American staff could have the RS-GP for the total season, so hopefully, it may push for even higher and extra constant factors outcomes. The staff is hoping to construct to larger successes in 2025 with Ai Ogura becoming a member of the driving expertise (changing Miguel Oliveira who will himself change champion Jorge Martin at Pramac), and Gulf Oil approaching board as a companion.
I, for one, welcome a bit extra coloration onto the MotoGP grid. This blue/yellow look is fairly nice and hopefully brings extra eyes within the route of the American staff. With the manufacturing facility Aprilia staff basically appearing because the “better of the remainder” in MotoGP behind the manufacturing facility Ducatis and the Pramac Ducatis, there’s an opportunity Trackhouse may actually do some good work this season.
Along with the MotoGP effort, Trackhouse will proceed its efforts in NASCAR with drivers Daniel Suarez, Zane Smith, and Shane Van Gisbergen. The staff may even area the “Challenge 91″ automotive for Helio Castroneves within the Daytona 500, and it’s coming into a GTD-class Corvette for Van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin, Ben Keating, and Connor Zilisch on this month’s Daytona 24.
