NASCAR squad Trackhouse set to become Aprilia MotoGP satellite team in 2024
Dorna Sports, the commercial rights holder of MotoGP, announced on Monday that RNF Racing will not be allowed to continue as a team on the grid next year. This decision was made due to repeated infractions and breaches of the Participation Agreement that affected the public image of MotoGP. Reports emerged during the Valencia Grand Prix weekend that RNF Racing was facing financial trouble and a potential takeover by an American firm. It has now been confirmed that Trackhouse Racing, an American team owned by Justin Marks and rap star Pitbull, will be joining MotoGP in 2024. Trackhouse will be renting the grid slots vacated by RNF and will need to meet all of Dorna’s requirements to be considered a viable option. They will also have the backing of Aprilia as their manufacturer and forge a strong technical partnership. The current RNF team will remain in place under the Trackhouse banner, using their knowledge of the Aprilia from this year.
