Gulf and Trackhouse MotoGP Team unveil the Gulf livery for the start of the 2026 season
21 Jan 2026
Gulf and Trackhouse MotoGP Team are proud to unveil their latest collaborative livery which will be run at the Thai (27 February – 1 March), Brazilian (20 – 22 March) and Italian (29 – 31 May) Grands Prix. The new design is an evolution of the fan-voted Passion livery from 2025, reflecting the forward progress of a partnership that is already building a growing global fanbase after one season in the premier class of motorcycle racing.
Revealed as part of Trackhouse MotoGP Team’s official 2026 livery launch, the design carries forwards the iconic Gulf colours that are synonymous with motorsport heritage, performance and innovation.
2025 was a breakthrough season for the American team, achieving podium success with Raul Fernandez in Gulf colours at the Indonesian Sprint race, and then a maiden Grand Prix victory in Australia. With the enhanced look for 2026, Gulf and Trackhouse MotoGP Team are targeting a strong second year of partnership both on and off the track.
Gulf colours will grace five circuits throughout the season, including a highly anticipated debut appearance at the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello – the first-time fans will see a Gulf-liveried bike in action at a European MotoGP race. Thailand, Brazil, Malaysia and Indonesia will be its other landmark outings in 2026.
A fresh fan-facing detail for 2026 sees the riders’ names featured proudly on the bikes, reinforcing the team’s commitment to storytelling, personality and building deeper connections between the fans and the riders.

“Our first season in MotoGP with the Trackhouse MotoGP Team delivered unforgettable moments – from debut podiums to race victories. We’re excited to see the iconic Gulf colours race again across five rounds of the 2026 season, and we hope fans enjoy the return of the Gulf liveries as much as we do.”

“The Gulf colours have a very special meaning in motorsport, and to see the Gulf livery and partnership evolve with us into a second MotoGP season is incredibly exciting. We’re proud of what we achieved last year and hungry for more success in 2026, with Gulf alongside us at every turn.”
Gulf and Trackhouse MotoGP Team riders Raul Fernandez and Ai Ogura will take to the grid aboard their 2026 Trackhouse Aprilla RS-GP bikes when the MotoGP World Championship gets underway in Thailand, carrying forward a partnership that blends racing heritage with modern ambition on the world’s leading motorcycle racing stage.
