Exclusive: Miguel Oliveira, Raul Fernandez Showcase Trackhouse Aprilia’s 2024 MotoGP Look
The 2024 MotoGP season will be even more exciting, especially with the entry of the Trackhouse team, led by Justin Marks, into the elite motorcycle racing scene. By purchasing the seats of the former RNF Racing team for the 2023 season, Trackhouse is ready to make its presence known with an impressive appearance and a closer collaboration with Aprilia.
The team’s talented pilots, Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez, recently revealed the bold livery that will grace Trackhouse Aprilia’s bikes throughout the season. The eye-catching color combination features elements of the American flag and reflects not only the team’s desire to leave a lasting impression, but also their strong collaboration with the Italian manufacturer.
The decision to offer Oliveira a factory bike in 2024 demonstrates Trackhouse’s determination to compete at the top level of MotoGP. While the previous season saw the team using RS-GPs from two years ago, they now prepare to race with state-of-the-art equipment, showing a clear commitment to success.
Trackhouse’s entry into MotoGP coincides with the series’ effort to expand its presence in the North American market. The appointment of former NBA president Dan Rossomondo as Dorna’s chief commercial officer, which is owned by Bridgepoint Capital, underscores the strategic importance of this expansion. Circuit of the Americas in Austin, USA will host Trackhouse’s American Grand Prix on the weekend of April 12-14.
But Trackhouse’s journey in MotoGP has not been without its challenges. A long lap penalty is already on the way following a crash involving Oliveira at the Qatar GP in November. Unfortunately, Oliveira’s suspension will be carried over for the new season due to an injury that will see him miss the final races of 2023.
Trackhouse’s entry into MotoGP is exciting news, especially with Oliveira and Fernandez set to race this bold new livery. The kit’s look not only represents a look into the future, but also shows a combination of iconic elements that reflect the essence of the Trackhouse-Aprilia partnership.
As the countdown to the 2024 season continues, MotoGP fans can’t wait to see the new power Trackhouse will bring to this category. Trackhouse is an exciting addition to the world of MotoGP with its determination to challenge established teams and create unforgettable moments on track.
