Gulf and SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team are proud to unveil their latest collaborative livery, which will be run at the Indonesian (9 – 11 October) and Malaysian (30 October – 1 November) Grands Prix. The new eye-catching design is a celebration of Gulf’s 125th anniversary, drawing on the iconic colours and racing heritage that have defined the global brand for generations.
During its 125-year history, Gulf has become synonymous with motorsport, with the blue and orange livery defining some of the most legendary racing cars ever built. Few are more memorable than the Gulf-liveried Ford GT40 which claimed victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968 and 1969 – a machine adored by fans the world over. It is this iconic car that acted as the primary inspiration for the latest addition to Gulf’s illustrious livery collection, with the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team bike boasting a familiar yet stylish design and a classic number display. Through these features, the livery honours the heritage of the Gulf brand, as well as the moments, machines and people that have shaped the brand’s story since 1901.
While the design is inspired by the past, it also represents Gulf’s forward-looking approach. Since its foundation, Gulf has been driven by progress and innovation. This is embodied both by this commemorative bike and Gulf’s overall partnership with SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team, which is built on a shared commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering performance.
The special Gulf 125th anniversary design is the brand’s fourth livery collaboration with SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team since the partnership was established at the start of the 2025 MotoGP season, with the American team having already showcased the blue and orange of Gulf at seven previous races. This includes the 2025 editions of the Grand Prix of Indonesia and Grand Prix of Malaysia, where riders Raúl Fernández and Ai Ogura piloted the fan-voted ‘Passion’ design to strong results, including a Sprint podium for the Spaniard in Indonesia. The duo of Fernández and Ogura will once again adorn the Gulf colours at the Mandalika International Circuit and Sepang International Circuit in 2026.
Mike Jones – CEO, Gulf Oil International UK Limited, said: “It is incredibly exciting to see Gulf’s 125th anniversary come to life through our partnership with the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team. As a brand, we are proud of our history, so it felt right that our motorsport heritage should be the inspiration behind our latest livery, particularly in this milestone year. But as we celebrate where we’ve come from, it’s also important to look at where we’re going and what Gulf is aiming to achieve in the future.
“This truly special bike design brings these two perspectives together – I can’t wait to see it on track in Indonesia and Malaysia.”
Justin Marks – Founder & Owner – Trackhouse Entertainment Group, said: “Every time I see the Gulf livery updates on our Aprilia RS-GP 26 bikes, I feel a surge of excitement. I have said before that growing up with stories of the epic duels that took place back in the ‘60’s and 70’s at Le Mans, when the GT40’s and 917’s cemented Gulf’s colors as perhaps the most recognizable in motorsport history, these designs are particularly evocative for me.
“The latest design on the Gulf Trackhouse bikes is going to bring a flavor of the past to MotoGP, while keeping us headed into the future with this great partnership and I am sure fans across the world of racing will enjoy our latest take on an amazing legacy. Congratulations to Gulf on reaching its 125th anniversary – we feel greatly privileged to carry the colors and write new stories for the future.”

ABOUT TRACKHOUSE RACING
After retiring from a successful driving career in NASCAR and sports cars, St. Louis native Justin Marks, 44, formed the Nashville, Tennessee-based Trackhouse Entertainment Group in 2020 to create a racing brand that transcends motorsports. Since taking to the track in 2021 as a single car team, Trackhouse Racing has grown to three full-time Cup teams with drivers Ross Chastain, Connor Zilisch and Shane van Gisbergen. Trackhouse boasts several victories in its young existence, has created a sophisticated social and digital program with an international flavor, and has attracted significant corporate support from some of the world’s most recognizable brands.
Trackhouse Racing joined the MotoGP grid in 2024, bringing an American team back to the pinnacle of international motorcycle racing for the first time in over a decade, fielding Aprilia motorcycles. Also, in 2024, Avenue Sports Fund acquired a significant minority stake in Trackhouse Entertainment Group.
In 2025, Chastain and Van Gisbergen captured six wins in the Cup Series. Chastain’s victory in May at Charlotte and Van Gisbergen’s wins in Mexico City, Chicago, Sonoma, Watkins Glen and Charlotte Roval pushed Trackhouse Racing’s victory total to 14 since forming in 2021. Connor Zilisch, Trackhouse Racing’s newest full-time Cup driver, won 10 times for JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series in 2025 and made three Cup Series starts for Trackhouse Racing. Spaniard Raul Fernandez and Japanese rider Ai Ogura competes for Trackhouse Racing in MotoGP. Fernandez secured the Trackhouse MotoGP team’s first win at the Australian Grand Prix in October.
