Frontrunning NASCAR outfit Trackhouse has emerged as favourite to enter MotoGP and resolve the current upheaval over Aprilia’s satellite team
American team Trackhouse Racing is in discussions with MotoGP series organiser Dorna to take over Aprilia’s satellite MotoGP operation for the 2024 season. The race-winning NASCAR team, co-owned by rapper Pitbull, is expected to fill the grid spots of RNF Racing following the departure of team principal Razlan Razali. The news of difficulties faced by Razali’s team was first reported during the Valencian Grand Prix weekend, with allegations of a feud with Romanian team co-owner CryptoData. Razali confirmed the split and announced his departure on social media, expressing pride in the team’s achievements. Dorna is now in talks with Trackhouse Racing to bring American interest and a high-profile celebrity backer to MotoGP, while Aprilia will retain ownership of leased bikes and contracts for Miguel Oliveira and Raul Fernandez.
