IP api Group, the main Italian private company in the fuel and mobility services sectors, returns to the motorcycle racing world championship scene and will do so with Gresini Racing. 
 
This is a big comeback for the iconic Italian company, which chose the Marquez brothers and the light-blue colours of Team Gresini Racing MotoGP for its two-wheeled world stage resurgence. IP’s fully Italian brand will be present on the side fairings of the two Desmosedici machines #73 and #93, on the sleeves of both Alex and Marc’s leathers as well as on the pit-box panels, team trucks and hospitality. 

The partnership agreement between IP and Gresini Racing MotoGP will have a three-year duration, a sign of great trust in a project that promises to be a really interesting one.

 

UGO BRACHETTI PERETTI – IP Gruppo api PRESIDENT
"IP is back at supporting Italian motorcycling racing around the world. During api’s recent 90-year-anniversary celebration, we remembered the tight-knit relationship between our Group and the great riders, the Italian teams, and their success in the motorcycle racing world championship history. With the same spirit, we will be alongside team Gresini with the ambition of accompanying it towards great sporting results. Motorcycle racing is courage and commitment, but also technique and talent: we will share the energy of the emotions that this MotoGP will give with all fans and enthusiasts.”

 NADIA PADOVANI – GRESINI RACING TEAM OWNER
“We’re absolutely proud to be announcing the start of a three-year partnership between IP and Gresini Racing MotoGP. The api Group is a historic Italian company with the Brachetti Peretti family at the helm, the same family that founded it back in 1933, and that during the ‘60s was sponsoring motorcycle racing around the world. 2024 is therefore a special year, because it marks the return of the company in the motorcycle racing scene after a long time – and obviously we’re very pleased to be part of such milestone. We’d like to thank the President Ugo Brachetti Peretti for the trust placed in our projects and for choosing Gresini Racing as a partner in this historical stage for the Group.”
