Trackhouse Racing shows off first MotoGP livery

trackhouse Motogp livery

Trackhouse Racing has shown the world its first ever MotoGP bike and the livery has plenty of Stars and Stripes.

In one of the biggest shocks of a busy silly season, the RNF Racing team folded and has since become Trackhouse Racing after the American outfit that races NASCAR with Shane van Gisbergen took it over.

As a result, the existing personnel and structure of RNF has been retained by the Aprilia satellite operation, including riders Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez.

They will stand out in their bold new colours which are not afraid to hide the team’s new American heritage.

Marks admitted it was emotional to see the Trackhouse MotoGP colours for the first time and believes “the sky is the limit” in terms of results.

“This launch is an incredible moment,” he said.

“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 don’t really know what to expect, I think as far as performance on the racetrack.

“All I know is that we’ve got great equipment with Aprilia, great people and very, very motivated, healthy and happy riders.

“I think the sky is the limit with this team.”
