For Trackhouse Racing, the American MotoGP team, arriving in Qatar for the first round of the 2024 MotoGP World Championship is a significant milestone in the team’s short history. After a busy period of 3 months since announcing their entry, the Trackhouse team has been on a constant series of commitments to be prepared for the tests and now for the opening race.
The first round is a night race, under the lights of Qatar and, after a positive conclusion of the test at the Losail circuit two weeks ago, the expectations are high for the team’s first race. It is expected that the weather conditions will be slightly warmer during the race week than during the tests and, since the last time the teams were present at the Losail circuit, a set of sports cars from the World Endurance Championship have covered thousands of kilometers, which means that the grip levels will likely be different.
There is much to be excited about when Miguel Oliveira, in his RS-GP 24, and Raul Fernandez, in his RS-GP 23, take to the track for the first session of the race weekend on Friday, March 8.
