Trackhouse Aprilia Racing has officially unveiled its 2026 MotoGP team, reinforcing its growing presence in the premier class with a bold identity, competitive intent, and a major visual highlight for the upcoming season: the iconic Gulf livery will return at five selected MotoGP circuits in 2026.
The announcement builds on the team’s strong momentum from last season, where Trackhouse Aprilia Racing proved it could compete at the highest level. Throughout the 2025 campaign, the team delivered multiple standout performances, including podium finishes and race-winning contention, firmly establishing itself as one of the most competitive independent teams on the grid.
Partnering once again with Aprilia Racing, Trackhouse will campaign the latest evolution of the Aprilia RS-GP, a machine that has consistently demonstrated front-running pace, strong corner speed, and the ability to fight for victories. Last season’s results—highlighted by podium appearances and a race win achieved by Aprilia-powered riders—underline the competitiveness of the RS-GP package and the effectiveness of Trackhouse’s race operations.
One of the major talking points for 2026 is the return of the legendary Gulf Oil livery, which will appear at five selected MotoGP rounds during the season. Globally recognised and deeply rooted in motorsport history, the Gulf colours add an extra layer of prestige and fan appeal to the Trackhouse Aprilia Racing project. The limited appearance of the livery is expected to make each outing a highlight event for fans, media, and collectors alike.
Reflecting on last season, the team demonstrated clear progress in race execution, consistency, and rider development. Strong qualifying performances, competitive race pace, and the ability to convert speed into podium results showed that Trackhouse Aprilia Racing is no longer just a new name on the grid—but a genuine contender capable of fighting at the front on the right weekends.
Beyond results, Trackhouse continues to play a key role in MotoGP’s evolving image, blending American racing culture with Italian engineering excellence. Its modern branding approach, strong digital storytelling, and close engagement with fans have made the team one of the most followed and talked-about projects in the paddock.
As MotoGP heads into 2026, Trackhouse Aprilia Racing does so with confidence and ambition. With proven podium credentials from last season, a competitive RS-GP, and the return of the iconic Gulf livery at five circuits, the team is set to deliver both performance and spectacle in equal measure.
MotoGP 2026 promises intense competition—and Trackhouse Aprilia Racing is ready to make every one of those five Gulf-liveried appearances count.
