Superfile Trackhouse MotoGP Team Announces That Francesco Guidotti Joins as Team Manager
Trackhouse has moved to recruit long-term MotoGP manager Francesco Guidotti, as Team Manager of its MotoGP Team.
The American organisation considered a number of candidates for the role and concluded that Guidotti’s strong track record with both manufacturer and private teams in the MotoGP Paddock made him the ideal person to take the reins as leader of the competition operations within the team.
Guidotti joins at a pivotal time in the development of Trackhouse Entertainment Group. The company, started by Justin Marks in 2020, has attracted significant interest in its racing programs – three charters in the NASCAR Cup series and its MotoGP Team – both from institutional investors and new sponsors. That interest has grown stronger with the MotoGP Team starting its third season in the Championship with a succession of strong results, benefiting from the development that its racing manufacturer partner, Aprilia, has made to the RS-GP26 bike. The performance of the bikes and the speed being shown by both of its riders, #25 Raul Fernandez and #79 Ai Ogura, has made the team a serious force in 2026 and with Guidotti’s guidance, Trackhouse believes its relentless pursuit for competitiveness is ready to take another step in future.

Founder and Owner of Trackhouse, Justin Marks, is excited by the appointment of Guidotti: “It’s a thrilling development for Trackhouse to formally announce Francesco Guidotti as our new MotoGP Team Manager. Francesco has a long and successful career in professional motorcycle racing but, just as importantly, he fits the culture and vision of our company. As we embark on our next phase in the MotoGP World Championship, having a racing team led by someone of Francesco’s calibre will only add to the opportunity ahead.”
For Francesco Guidotti, a native of the Italian province of Tuscany, the move into Trackhouse represents the renewal of an old relationship with Aprilia. The Noale-based manufacturer was Guidotti’s first employer in the MotoGP Paddock and after some years away, he came back to the fold, guiding Aprilia to a World Superbike title in 2010. After a successful stint with both private and manufacturer MotoGP teams and refreshed after a year’s hiatus from the Paddock, Guidotti now returns and is looking forward to a fresh challenge, working as the Team Manager for the only American team on the MotoGP grid:
Francesco Guidotti – new Team Manager, SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team: “First of all, I have to thank Justin for his trust. I’m thrilled to be back and I couldn’t have hoped for a better opportunity than this. Trackhouse is a young and professional Team that, already, has some very special achievements and I will do my best to contribute to the growth of the Team and the riders. Returning to work with Aprilia also feels special to me – a lot of good memories and friends. I am excited to be joining the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team!”
