Razlan Razali is stepping down from his role as team principal of the RNF MotoGP squad.
Razlan Razali, the Malaysian who previously managed the Sepang circuit and Petronas SRT team, has founded RNF after the closure of the Sepang project. In the 2022 season, RNF ran Yamaha machinery as a satellite team before forming a new partnership with CryptoDATA and becoming Aprilia’s new satellite team for 2023. Despite lead rider Miguel Oliveira facing injuries, he managed to achieve a fourth-place finish and three other top six finishes on the RS-GPs. Razali, who confirmed his departure, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to manage and own a MotoGP team, working with exceptional team members and discovering talents such as Fabio, Frankie, Vale, Dovi, Darryn, Miguel, and Raul. The new management structure for RNF has yet to be announced, but American investors from Trackhouse, a lifestyle and entertainment company with a team in NASCAR, are reportedly involved. The commercial rights to the RNF MotoGP Racing team were secured by the MSM agency in late September.
