MotoGP, Trackhouse at Buriram with a new livery...will it be the Ford-Gulf livery?

During their presentation to the press, the Trackhouse-Aprilia team had presented themselves with a fairly anonymous livery, while many expected a revival of the legendary combination brought to victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans by Ford-Gulf.

An iconic car that gained worldwide visibility when Gulf vice president Grady Davis established a link between the Gulf brand and John Wyer (of JW Automotive Engineering) to organize Gulf's participation in the World Endurance Championship (WEC).

The Gulf-JW Automotive team became a legendary force between 1967 and 1975 with the Ford GT40, Porsche 917 and Mirage competition cars. Gulf won the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968, while in 1969 and 1975 they won the title at the World Sports Car Championship.

Also during this period the now iconic Gulf racing colors, blue and orange, made their first appearance.

Therefore, the small Gulf mark that appeared during testing did not satisfy fans, but it is not certain that things may not change. In fact, a camouflaged photo of the RS-GP has appeared on its social networks...could it appear in Buriram finally with the livery we all expected? In a few days we will find out!
