Trackhouse Racing Aprilia has officially unveiled its striking 2025 MotoGP livery, marking the first team to reveal its new bike for the 2025 season.
The American satellite team, which debuted in the premier class in 2024, showcased its new design during a ceremony at its headquarters in Concord, North Carolina.
The unveiling of the livery not only signifies a new chapter for Trackhouse Racing Aprilia but also sets the tone for the upcoming MotoGP season, as it becomes the first team to reveal its colors for 2025.
The new livery features a vibrant combination of blue and black as the base colors, which have become synonymous with Trackhouse’s racing identity since its inception in 2021.
Accentuated with striking dayglo yellow highlights, this design maintains a cohesive aesthetic across both the NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 cars and the Aprilia RS-GP MotoGP bikes.
A notable aspect of their 2025 MotoGP livery is the prominent presence of Gulf Oil branding in orange, which has joined as a sponsor during the winter break. This partnership is particularly exciting for the team, as Gulf Oil is an iconic name in motorsport known for its distinctive branding and rich history.
Team manager Davide Brivio revealed that while this livery represents Trackhouse’s corporate colors, fans can expect to see variations throughout the season as the team remains open to adapting its look based on sponsorship opportunities.
“We changed the livery, this is now kind of our Trackhouse colour – but you will see something different also in a few races,” Brivio said. “We’re going to play a little bit with liveries during this season. Let’s leave a little bit of surprise – this is one version, we’ll have other versions.”
In addition to showcasing their 2025 MotoGP livery, Trackhouse Racing has made it clear that they are committed to maintaining strong ties with Aprilia.
The satellite team will continue to utilize factory specification Aprilia RS-GP machinery in 2025, ensuring that they have access to top-tier technology and support from one of MotoGP’s leading manufacturers.
As Trackhouse Racing Aprilia prepares for the 2025 season, it brings a refreshed rider lineup that includes reigning Moto2 champion Ai Ogura and Raul Fernandez, who secured a two-year contract extension last year.
Ogura’s journey to his first championship title was marked by perseverance after falling short twice in previous seasons. His humility and dedication have been key themes throughout his career, and he is eager to make his MotoGP debut with the team.
Ogura’s addition to the team is significant as he joins a growing list of rookies stepping up to the premier class this year. Alongside him are Fermin Aldeguer racing for Gresini Ducati and Somkiat Chantra representing LCR Honda.
The excitement surrounding Ogura’s transition to MotoGP is palpable; he has expressed gratitude towards Trackhouse for their support and motivation as he embarks on this new challenge.
Raul Fernandez, who remains with Trackhouse Racing Aprilia for a second year, also shared his enthusiasm about the 2025 MotoGP livery. He stated that the fresh design not only looks amazing but also serves as motivation for what promises to be a challenging season ahead.
Both riders are set to participate in upcoming tests, with Ogura participating in the Shakedown test at Sepang from January 31 to February 2, followed by an official pre-season test before heading to Bangkok for the MotoGP 2025 Season Launch event on February 9.
The unveiling of Trackhouse Racing’s 2025 MotoGP livery comes at an exciting time as teams prepare for another competitive season. The 2025 MotoGP calendar will feature 22 rounds across five continents, each weekend including both sprint races and full-distance Grands Prix.
Trackhouse Racing Aprilia’s debut season was one of learning and adaptation; they finished ninth in the team standings last year. The arrival of Gulf Oil as a primary sponsor has injected new energy into the team, promising an exciting future ahead.
As they gear up for their second season, Brivio emphasized that they will leverage everything learned from their inaugural campaign to improve their performance on track.
“This is another important moment because we are introducing our second year as Trackhouse Team,” Brivio said. “The first one has been a learning year and we will try to use everything we learned before in this second season, where we have many new things coming up.
“Of course, a new design of the bike, which goes more towards the Trackhouse image direction and we have an in place agreement with Gulf which means another exciting design.
“It’s a real privilege to be involved in a team with such an iconic brand – a brand, which I personally always admired in the motorsport environment. We can’t wait to show our special livery, which I believe will be something great and unique in MotoGP.”
