Tech3 Racing Secures Significant Investment Ahead of 2026 MotoGP Season
Tech3 Racing is poised for a major boost ahead of the 2026 MotoGP season,having attracted considerable investment from a consortium of prominent figures and firms. The announcement signals a commitment to long-term growth and improved performance for the team.
The investment group includes BoltVentures and Main Street Advisors. BoltVentures is led by David Blitzer, known for his ownership stakes in franchises across major North American sports leagues (NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, and MLS). Main Street Advisors is managed by Paolo Barletta, who oversees approximately $9 billion in assets within the sports and entertainment sectors.
A notably noteworthy addition is Pierre Gasly, through his Trail Slam fund. The French formula 1 driver becomes one of the first drivers from Formula 1 to directly and actively invest in a MotoGP team, a move that has been under consideration by other figures in the motorsport paddock.
Gasly, already a shareholder of FC Versailles, demonstrates a consistent investment strategy focused on high-level sport and building sustainable projects beyond his racing career.
Günther Steiner, now CEO of Tech3 Racing, expressed his enthusiasm about the new partnerships:
“This is an exciting time to join MotoGP. It was critical to bring together investors who shared a long-term vision for Tech3.” he stated. “We want to preserve the team’s legacy while taking a measured and strategic approach to growth. It’s about building on what’s already working to shape the future.“
Tech3 Racing highlights that this new investment will aim to improve sporting performance, strengthen its commercial infrastructure, and enhance brand value through increased fan and partner engagement.
We are heading towards the 2026 season stronger on and off the track 💪🏻
