Trackhouse Brings Iconic Gulf Colours Back to MotoGP

Trackhouse MotoGP has unveiled a special Gulf Ford GT40-inspired livery for the upcoming Indonesian and Malaysian Grands Prix, celebrating 125 years of Gulf motorsport heritage.

Revealed on October 7, the design will feature on the Aprilia RS-GP26 motorcycles of Ai Ogura and Raul Fernandez at Mandalika and Sepang.

The special colour scheme combines Gulf's unmistakable light blue and orange with classic racing-number styling inspired by the legendary Ford GT40 endurance racing cars.

The design marks Trackhouse's return to Gulf colours after their previous appearance at Mugello earlier this season.

A legendary racing design. Reimagined for MotoGP.

Ford GT40 Le Mans Heritage Inspires the Design

The inspiration comes from the Gulf-liveried Ford GT40, which famously won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968 and 1969.

Those victories helped establish the blue-and-orange colour combination as one of motorsport's most recognisable liveries.

Trackhouse's latest design pays tribute to that racing history through its classic number panels, heritage-inspired graphics and traditional Gulf colours.

The special livery also celebrates Gulf's 125th anniversary, connecting the brand's endurance racing legacy with modern MotoGP competition.

For motorsport fans, the design brings together two very different racing eras.

From Le Mans legends to modern MotoGP machines.

Ai Ogura and Raul Fernandez to Race Special Aprilia Bikes

Trackhouse will run the special livery across two Southeast Asian MotoGP rounds:

Both Ai Ogura and Raul Fernandez will compete aboard the Gulf-liveried Aprilia RS-GP26 machines.

The pair have already delivered Grand Prix victories during the 2026 season, strengthening Trackhouse's position as a competitive force in MotoGP.

The upcoming Indonesian Grand Prix provides the team's first opportunity to showcase the heritage design on track.

For Malaysian fans, the special colours will return at Sepang later this month.

Malaysia Set for Another Iconic Motorsport Showcase

For Winbox Racing, Trackhouse's special livery highlights the strong connection between motorsport heritage, racing identity and modern brand partnerships.

With the Malaysian MotoGP scheduled for October 30–November 1, local fans will have the opportunity to see the Gulf-inspired Aprilia machines competing at Sepang International Circuit.

The design also demonstrates how iconic motorsport liveries can continue to inspire new generations of racing fans.
