Trackhouse Aprilia has confirmed SuperFile as its title sponsor, ending the American-owned team's status as the last outfit on the MotoGP grid without a naming rights partner.
The US-based file-sharing company will have its branding on the team's two RS-GP machines for the remainder of the 2026 season, starting from the Hungarian Grand Prix at Balaton Park (5-7 June). The black-and-yellow livery that Trackhouse ran at the Spanish Grand Prix earlier this year was a preview of the permanent colour scheme now adopted under the SuperFile deal.
SuperFile is no stranger to Trackhouse Racing. The company already sponsors one of the team's NASCAR Cup Series cars — the number 97 driven by Shane van Gisbergen — and its MotoGP appearance at Jerez was a one-off before being confirmed as a full-time title partner.
"This is a big moment for the Trackhouse MotoGP Team," said team owner Justin Marks. "It is exciting to see our relationship with SuperFile grow into a long-term strategic commitment and truly an honour to welcome them as naming rights partner. They are with us on our #97 car in the NASCAR Cup Series and now to have them on our two RS-GP MotoGP bikes as we navigate the global race calendar in the years to come is a testament to the aspirations of SuperFile and Trackhouse to be winners at the highest level of competition."
Shane Valdez, founder and CEO of SuperFile, called the deal "more than a sponsorship."
"What excites me most isn't seeing the SuperFile name on the bike. It's who we're building with," Valdez said. "Trackhouse has changed the game by doing things differently. They've brought new energy, a new perspective, and a willingness to challenge what's possible. That's exactly how we've built SuperFile."
The announcement came just a week after Raul Fernandez helped secure a historic first all-Aprilia front row at Mugello, winning the Sprint race on 30 May. Fernandez and team-mate Ai Ogura will carry the SuperFile colours for the rest of the campaign.
Trackhouse entered MotoGP in 2024, purchasing the satellite Aprilia operation previously run by RNF Racing. The team had operated without a title sponsor for its first two seasons before finalising the SuperFile agreement.
