Trackhouse Racing debuts this year in MotoGP, being the first team from the United States in the premier class in many years. The same happened in Formula 1 in 2016 when Haas entered.
Davide Brivio, team manager of Trackhouse Racing, was asked if this team can be the Haas of MotoGP, to which he replied: ‘I hope we are better! Of course, Haas is an American team in European sports. Maybe it’s by ownership, but from the outside my feeling is that they have a lot of European “DNA”. It looks like an English team, or an Italian team – whatever you want to call it, because they have connections everywhere: the engine in Italy, the chassis in Italy, the base in England. But maybe you don’t feel that big difference between them and another team’.
Asked about how Trackhouse Racing can differentiate itself in MotoGP, Brivio replied: ‘We are starting, so maybe there is not a big difference now. But we try to do something different – I don’t know what, but maybe we have a fresh approach. The excitement of being new. I don’t want to create too many expectations, but we will try to see if we can bring some new ideas or maybe use the experience we have in America’.
