Valentino Rossi’s VR46 MotoGP team will have a new title sponsor from 2024 with Indonesian lubricants brand Pertamina taking over from Mooney.
The VR46 Racing Team, which currently runs Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini on year-old Desmosedicis, will be officially known as the ‘Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team’ starting next season. The title partnership deal with Pertamina Lubricants is for the next three seasons, extending beyond their current agreement with Ducati. Yamaha has expressed interest in VR46 becoming their future satellite team. The partnership with Pertamina marks an important milestone for the team and brings together the two largest and most loyal fan bases in MotoGP, from Italy and Indonesia. This long-term project aims to share the passion for motorcycling with fans around the world. In terms of the livery, the colors used by the Pertamina-backed SAG Moto2 squad could be a possible indicator.
