For every motorsport fan, of all eras, the Goodwood Festival of Speed represents a unique and unmissable opportunity to see the legends of two and four-wheel racing come together. 

This year Aprilia will have the honour of taking part in this sort of Woodstock of engines, held at the Goodwood Circuit near the south coast of England, bringing the latest evolution of the Italian MotoGP project to the attention of the ever knowledgeable public.

The Aprilia RS-GP 2023, the highest and most advanced expression of research and technology applied to a racing bike, will be the protagonist along the legendary asphalt of the Goodwood Hillclimb, ridden by riders Lorenzo Savadori, Miguel Oliveira and Raùl Fernandez.

From Thursday 13th to Sunday 16th July, the roar of the Italian V4 will echo through the English countryside during an event that will see, in addition to the MotoGP riders, many other motorsport icons riding (or at the wheel) of equally exceptional vehicles.

For those who do not have the opportunity to attend this extraordinary event in person, the weekend's activities can be followed through the official Goodwood FOS channels and on Aprilia's social media profiles.

The British Motor Museum is to open another exciting and thought-provoking exhibition on 15 July entitled “Transitions: The Impact of Innovation”, which will run until summer 2024. The exhibition will explore the technologies that are bringing cars into the future and consider their effects. The car has shaped our world for the better, but also for the worse. As the motor industry strives to find cleaner, safer, and more efficient ways to get us around, the exhibition will look at what its developments mean for our cars.

In the past, the British Motor Museum has inspired curiosity about the future of the car, and this exhibition will revisit concepts explored in the 2019 exhibition ‘The Car. The Future. Me’. However, this brand-new exhibition will bring a fresh perspective, delving into the practical thoughts and ideas surrounding these new technologies. Visitors will leave the exhibition with a greater insight into the direction car engineering will take in the years to come and how this will affect our day-to-day lives.

The exhibition will use a combination of cars and interactive stations to illustrate areas of future development, such as how cars will be powered, their impact, the materials they use and alternative methods of control. Several vehicles will be on display, including a hydrogen-powered Riversimple Rasa and a sectioned Nissan Leaf electric car, alongside interactive elements which allow comparisons between different technologies.

Stephen Laing, Head of Collections at the British Motor Museum, added: "We're delighted to open this fascinating new exhibition. We are in a period of radical change and can see how quickly cars are shifting. Fobs, keypads, push buttons, and smartphones have been steadily replacing the familiar key turn. Electric motors are slowly supplanting internal combustion engines, while drivers are being supplemented with autonomous controls. Transitions will look at what the car will become in the future and how the industry will take us there”.

Access to the exhibition is included with standard Museum admission tickets. The Museum has held its visitor prices for 2023 for even greater value! Museum entry costs just £40 for a family in advance or £44 on the day, £14.50 for adults in advance or £16 on the day, £12.50 for concessions in advance or £14 on the day, £9 for children (5-16 years) in advance or £10 on the day and under 5s go FREE.

Aprilia Racing engineers and technicians, as well as the team members assigned to the various functions, have at their disposal monitors, interactive displays, multimedia tables and totems that are valuable working tools, both in the more technical, track and performance-related activities, and in the PR and hospitality duties that affect life in the MotoGP paddock.

PCs, MINI PCs and Notebooks also complete the Yashi portfolio.

Aprilia MotoGP riders Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales were also able to experience the quality of Yashi products at first hand, with the delivery of two fully customised notebooks (evocatively named "Suzuka").

The technical collaboration between two companies so focused on innovation is constantly evolving, with the aim of bringing ever more winning solutions to the track.

AT THE GP OF SAN MARINO ON 9 AND 10 SEPTEMBER, APRILIA FANS WILL BE ABLE TO CHEER ON ALEIX ESPARGARÓ AND MAVERICK VIÑALES, ENJOYING THE MOST HIGHLY ANTICIPATED ROUND IN A COVERED GRANDSTAND

A GROUP OF SURPRISE GUESTS WILL LIVEN UP THE GRANDSTAND TO BRING THE FANS CLOSER TO THE TEAM AND, IN TRUE APRILIA TRADITION, TO COMBINE SPORT AND ENTERTAINMENT

THE PASSION FOR APRILIA WILL ALSO BRING CONCRETE HELP TO EMILIA ROMAGNA, THANKS TO FUNDS RAISED FOR CIVIL PROTECTION

Noale, 4 July 2023 - The fans are the true engine driving Aprilia’s wins in MotoGP and, after calling them together during Aprilia All Stars in May, the Italian brand will now give them the chance to cheer on Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales during the GP of Misano during the weekend of 9 and 10 September.

In fact, the Aprilia grandstand is back, created to provide a unique and memorable experience for MotoGP enthusiasts and fans of the Italian brand.

An entire sector of the covered “Tribuna B” will be reserved for Aprilia fans with numbered seats and a range of accessory comforts such as dedicated parking, both for those who arrive at the Misano World Circuit in cars and for those who decide to ride to the Adriatic Riviera on their own two-wheelers. All together, with friends or family, to cheer on Aprilia and to enjoy the spectacular MotoGP show.

All the fans in the grandstand will receive that Aprilia Racing kit which also includes the special T-shirt made to support residents of Emilia-Romagna, recently struck by flooding. The GP of San Marino will also be a chance to contribute to the fund raising efforts in support of the Emilia Romagna Civil Protection, a time to stand by and provide concrete help to a region which every motorsport enthusiast holds dear to their hearts.

The days will also be enriched by both special guests and by constant entertainment which, in true Aprilia style, will add just the right dose of fun to the adrenaline-filled activities on the track.
