Overview
Trackhouse MotoGP Team is the MotoGP racing operation of Trackhouse Racing, an American motorsports organization founded by former NASCAR driver Justin Marks. The team made its premier-class championship debut in 2024, taking over the grid position and sporting operation associated with the former RNF MotoGP Team. Its arrival extended Trackhouse’s activities beyond stock-car racing into international motorcycle grand prix competition. The team competes in the FIM MotoGP World Championship using Aprilia machinery. Its role is that of a racing entrant and team brand rather than a motorcycle manufacturer: the sporting proposition is built around competition, rider development, engineering and race operations. Trackhouse has fielded riders including Miguel Oliveira and Raúl Fernández; its rider line-up has changed over time, so individual names should be understood in the context of their respective seasons. The brand draws on Trackhouse Racing’s American identity while operating in MotoGP’s international championship environment. Its visual identity and team communications connect the motorcycle programme to the wider Trackhouse motorsports brand. The organization remains privately held, and public information identifies Trackhouse Racing—not a separately traded company—as the parent organization. Specific standalone headquarters details for the MotoGP team are not established here.
History
Trackhouse MotoGP Team emerged from Trackhouse Racing’s expansion from American stock-car competition into the international motorcycle grand prix scene. Trackhouse Racing was established by Justin Marks and developed a prominent presence in NASCAR. Its MotoGP project created a new route for the organization to build a global racing profile and connect its existing brand identity with a different racing audience. The team entered MotoGP in 2024, taking the place of the former RNF MotoGP operation on the championship grid. The transition brought a new organizational and commercial identity to the entry while continuing its participation with Aprilia machinery. Trackhouse’s involvement made it the first American team to enter MotoGP in the modern era, a point frequently associated with the significance of the project. In competition, the team has fielded riders including Miguel Oliveira and Raúl Fernández. The rider roster is season-dependent, and the team’s sporting work combines race-weekend operations, technical collaboration with Aprilia, and the development of riders and machinery within the championship’s regulations. The team is a competitor and partner in a manufacturer-supported racing programme, not a producer of consumer motorcycles. The brand’s history is still relatively recent. Its defining development so far is the launch of its MotoGP programme and the establishment of a cross-discipline identity linking an American motorsports organization to one of the leading international motorcycle racing championships. Trackhouse Racing remains the parent organization; the MotoGP team operates as its specialist racing division.
