Capable of speeds exceeding 225mph and lean angles of more than 60 degrees, MotoGP bikes represent the pinnacle of two-wheel racing. In a landmark moment for global motorsport, the demonstration and wider fan activations will see the inclusion of MotoGP during a Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend for the first time, in front of a crowd of more than 400,000 fans expected across the event.
MotoGP Hall of Fame inductee Dani Pedrosa (KTM), 2027 MotoGP rider and current WorldSBK World Champion Nicolo Bulega (Ducati), and MotoGP test riders Andrea Dovizioso (Yamaha) and Lorenzo Savadori with the SuperFile Trackhouse MotoGP Team (and Aprilia RS-GP motorcycle, ed.’s note) will take to the iconic Austin circuit, giving Formula 1 fans a rare opportunity to experience the speed and sound of MotoGP up close, with bikes capable of producing more than 130 decibels of noise.

In addition to the on-track action, MotoGP will host a dedicated fan activation in the circuit Fan Zone throughout the weekend, featuring the four motorcycles on display and opportunities for fans to get closer to the sport. MotoGP teams and riders will be onsite from Thursday through Sunday as the championship continues to build momentum towards its 2027 Grand Prix of the United States, which returns to COTA from April 23-25, 2027.”

How did it go? It was a huge surprise, and the audience showed their appreciation by applauding the show put on by the four riders on their motorcycles (who also took the opportunity for a fun, adrenaline-fueled spin on the ‘Circuit Breaker’ ride at Cotaland, the new themed amusement park within the COTA complex). Lorenzo Savadori, the official test rider for Aprilia Racing, took part in the event representing the American-based Superfile Trackhouse MotoGP Team. He sported a stars-and-stripes racing suit, matching the livery of the Aprilia RS-GP prepared specifically for the occasion (all while the Sprint Race for the 18th round of the 2026 MotoGP World Championship was underway in Australia). Following the on-track show, the fan zone and paddock were packed with enthusiasts and VIPs, with Justin Marks, owner of Trackhouse Entertainment Group, by Savadori’s side throughout. It was a rewarding experience for everyone involved—the audience, the team, and the riders—making for a weekend that bridged the worlds of car and motorcycle racing, in true American style.
