2024 Moto3™ targets in sight for new-look Red Bull GASGAS Tech3

In the wake of pre-season tests, a fresh livery shake-up and the welcoming of a new recruit; Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 are now anticipating the first of 21 Grands Prix in the 2024 Moto3 season and are eager to rush into the dusk air at the Lusail International Circuit.

GASGAS red is sure to be a prominent color in the close and intense Moto3 pack once more and in the fourth season of competition. Moto3 has been the most rewarding category for the brand to-date with victories celebrated during 2021, 2022 and 2023 as well as a world title making it onto the shelf. Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 will bring Moto3 and MotoGP efforts together in one structure and for a cohesive surge towards glory in both classes with the four riders: Daniel Holgado and Jacob Roulstone with the GASGAS RC 250 GP and Augusto Fernandez and Pedro Acosta with the GASGAS RC16.

Fernandez and Acosta have already been generating excitement and expectations during the two MotoGP tests in Malaysia and Qatar and the Moto3 crew have been getting up to pace with the new generation of the RC 250 GP with updated engine, chassis, suspension and aerodynamic technology.

Holgado was in contention for the 2023 championship for what was only his second year of Moto3. The 18-year-old Spaniard stood on the top of the rostrum in Portugal, France and Italy and classified 5th. He’s expected to be one of the main challengers for the crown in 2024. Roulstone, 19, is one of the few Australians in Moto3 and a podium finisher in 2023 FIM JuniorGP. He’ll be the rookie prospect to watch during 2024.

The Grand Prix of Qatar from March 8-10 puts the whole show into furious motion. GET ON THE GAS!

Daniel Holgado: “We are about to start a very important season. It will be my second with the Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 family, third in Moto3, and our goal is clearly to be world champions. In 2023, we had great moments together, but we also learned from our mistakes. We are heading into this new challenge stronger than last year. It will be important to be consistent, and be focused on each round, one after another, while never forgetting to think of the bigger picture. We are ready to fight!”

Jacob Roulstone: “I am really excited about my debut in the Moto3 World Championship. I know that it won't be a walk in the park, it will be difficult but our goal is to learn, session after session, day after day, round after round. I am surrounded by a great team, we have completed a great pre-season together, and our goal is to fight for the Rookie of the Year title. I can't wait to start, and get on the gas!”

Hervé Poncharal, Red Bull GASGAS Tech3 Moto3 Team Owner: “After completing our pre-season testing, we are more than happy with the 2024 RC 250 GP. It is very competitive, and we are eager to see what we can achieve on track this year with it. We have a great challenge ahead of us this season in Moto3, with an exciting line-up. Daniel Holgado was a great title contender in 2023, he fought for the crown until almost the end, and he will start his third season in the class. He is stronger than ever, knows what needs to be done to achieve our goal, winning the championship, and I am sure that his experience from the past two years will be a great asset. Alongside him, Jacob Roulstone, our rookie, surprised us during the pre-seasons tests. He showed speed, maturity and smartness. We have a tasty combination of riders in 2024, and I can't wait to start the season in Qatar.”

Jens Hainbach, Vice President Sports Management Road Racing: “The look of the bikes is different now but Hervé and his guys have shown their knowledge and experience of Moto3 for the last three seasons and we know we can expect the same push towards the best results. Daniel gave us the speed we knew he was capable of in 2023 and he will have learned plenty about leading races and leading a championship. This is only going to make him better and stronger this time. Jacob has been on our radar and we like what we’ve seen and the character he has for racing and his first year in Moto3. Having the GASGAS Moto3 and MotoGP teams in one place gives us a tighter structure and I hope we will see this benefit on the track.”
