Yep, Trackhouse Tricked us all… New Full Gulf MotoGP Livery Revealed!
Trackhouse well and truly did a number on us all, as its proper full Gulf MotoGP livery is revealed in Thailand
A few weeks back we reported on the Trackhouse MotoGP Team livery reveal, with some readers said was “Like Career Mode on PS5”, due to its lack of sponsors and dinky Gulf decals.
At the time we, along with most other MotoGP fans, were fairly critical of Trackhouse Racing’s lowkey use of one of motorsport's most iconic sponsors. Well, Trackhouse, give yourselves a pat on the back. You managed to pull the wool over our eyes, and yes, your actual Gulf livery is quite possibly the best on the grid.
Gulf is a major producer of petrochemicals and oils, plastics, and agricultural chemicals. It’s probably best known, though, for a string of high-profile sponsorship deals with sporting brands, with many of the most historic racing liveries of all time coming about thanks to the brand. From the Porsche 917, Ford GT40, and beautifully brutal McLaren F1 LM, the Trackhouse Racing Aprilia RSGP is currently a member of a very exclusive club of racing vehicles.
Speaking about the new livery, Mike Jones, the CEO of Gulf Oil International UK Limited, said:
“We are incredibly excited to see the iconic colours of Gulf come to life on the MotoGP grid through our partnership with the Trackhouse MotoGP Team. This livery is an historic moment in Gulf’s motorsport story. By collaborating with Trackhouse MotoGP Team we aim to build a foundation for both brands to evolve together in the world of MotoGP and we look forward to an exhilarating 2025 season.”
Joining the new livery in Trackhouse Racing is a rider pairing made up of Raul Fernadez who is partnered by the Moto2 sensation Ai Ogura. The two riders will be taking to the track today, as the free practice sessions from the Thai Grand Prix signal the start of the 2025 MotoGP season.
Justin Marks, founder and owner of Trackhouse Entertainment Group, added.
“From the moment I fell in love with Motorsport, I have admired and been inspired by the iconic Gulflivery in every form it has taken in the history of racing. To be able to unveil the Gulf Trackhouse Apriliabikes is a deeply personal moment. It’s an honor and privilege to partner with such an iconic brand in MotoGP and cannot wait to see these incredible bikes at speed on the racetrack”
