The premier class of MotoGP is set to showcase a rich touch of motorsport history as Trackhouse Racing officially unveils a special Gulf livery for the upcoming Southeast Asian double-header. The American outfit will debut the celebratory color scheme during the Indonesian Grand Prix at the Pertamina Mandalika International Circuit, before heading to the Malaysian Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit.
This striking new look marks the 125th anniversary of Gulf and draws heavy inspiration from the legendary Gulf Ford GT40, which famously claimed victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968 and 1969. The aesthetic overhaul on the Aprilia RS-GP26 also features classic number displays that pay a direct homage to that golden era of endurance racing, bringing the famous light blue and orange hues back into the spotlight.
Team riders Raul Fernandez and Ai Ogura will be the ones tasked with piloting the machines featuring one of the most recognizable and beloved liveries in motorsport history, a visual legacy shared alongside iconic machines like the Porsche 917.
Mike Jones, CEO of Gulf Oil International UK Limited, shared his excitement regarding the partnership milestone. “It is wonderful to see Gulf's 125th anniversary come to life through our collaboration with the Trackhouse MotoGP Team. This special design brings our rich history and our vision for the future together,” stated Mike Jones.
Trackhouse owner Justin Marks emphasized the cultural impact of the historic color palette within the racing world. “This latest design brings a piece of that past into MotoGP, while at the same time we look to the future with this partnership,” added Justin Marks as the team prepares for the Asian leg.
