The 2024 season of Team Gresini Racing MotoGP was an extraordinary one, not only for the excitement delivered on the track, but also due to the partnerships with our sponsors.
Thanks to the analysis performed by Camaleonic Analytics – a Spanish company specialised in sponsorship analysis and also an official partner of the International Racing Team Association (IRTA) – we can now measure with precision the value of our mediatic exposure within the MotoGP World Championship.

The numbers speak for themselves:
✅ 21 hours and 49 minutes of visibility for Gream Gresini Racing MotoGP (3rd best among the MotoGP teams for exposure time) 
✅ 48 hours and 56 minutes of overall visibility for our sponsors 
✅ € 444.142.144 of value generated for the partners through our mediatic exposure

These impressive numbers mirrored our on-track performance: 4 wins (one of which in a sprint race), 21 podiums and the 3^rd place overall in the championship standings (Marc Marquez) as well as a third place in the teams’ standings (courtesy also to Alex Marquez’s eighth-place in the final standings)

AN EVER-GROWING SPONSORSHIP NETWORK
2024 set a new record also in terms of partnerships: 31 companies have chosen to give their support to Gresini Racing’s MotoGP project. It was a worldwide movement, with a special focus on Europe and Southeast Asia. 
But it is not just about numbers: the real value lies in the longevity of said partnership. The sponsorship average duration with our current partners is of 6,9 years, which shows a relationship based on trust, tangible results and shared goals. 

CARLO MERLINI – GRESINI RACING COMMERCIAL AND MARKETING DIRECTOR
“The collaborations with our most loyal partners occupy a very important role within Gresini Racing. The sponsors are our biggest fans as they and are an integral part of the team and in every way a part of what we like to call the Gresini Family. Historical sponsors, which have been on board for a long time, and new ones, who joined to form a pool of extremely high-level, but especially a group of passionate entrepreneurs. They are our true heritage and we’re proud to have paid back the trust they placed in us with on-track results, but also with the numbers from the exposure reports that have been provided to us.”

The British Motor Museum is to launch a new Young Artists Competition to celebrate the opening of the exhibition, The Gallery 2025. This exclusive contest with the theme ‘The car and the environment’ gives young artists with a passion for automotive art, the rare chance to display their work at the Museum.

There are three age categories for entry: under 11s, 12-16 years, and 17-20 years with one winner per category. Entries open on Thursday 6 February and close on Monday 28 April, giving interested applicants February Half-Term and the Easter holidays to perfect their masterpieces. The winning artwork will go on display in the Museum from Thursday 29 May - Friday 27 June as part of The Gallery 2025 exhibition. The winning artists will each receive a half day workshop with an esteemed artist featured in the exhibition, getting tips on everything from how to set the scene for their next artwork to how to succeed with art as a career. The generous sponsor of the prize is Peter Mitchell, Patron of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust. The winner of each age category will also receive £50 worth of art vouchers, thanks to a generous donation from LifewithArt.

The Gallery 2025 exhibition will open on Friday 4 April featuring a combination of paintings and sculptural pieces. The Gallery 2025 is a continuing collaboration with Historic Car Art and will showcase some of the UK’s most talented automotive artists including John Ketchell, Keith Woodcock, Emma Capener, Jonny Ambrose, Oliver Ray and Steve Goodwin. There will be ‘live art’ taking place where the artists continue their artwork at the Museum for visitors to see. The artists work with a variety of media, including acrylics, oil, watercolour, pen, and pastels.

Stephen Laing, Head of Collections & Engagement at the British Motor Museum, said, "It's going to be an exciting few months for artists of all ages. The Young Artists Competition is a wonderful way to encourage artists of the future and help them begin to fulfil their creative potential. Displaying their artwork alongside established artists is an enormous opportunity and the winning artworks will add to an already stunning range in the upcoming exhibition, The Gallery 2025."

Rupert Whyte, Historic Car Art owner, said “We are pleased to be working alongside the British Motor Museum for a third year to curate an exhibition of motoring art celebrating the depth of talent amongst British automotive artists. Each year we introduce new artists to the exhibition and 2025 will be no exception”. 

The Young Artists Competition will be judged by a returning panel, including Rupert Whyte, owner of Historic Car Art, and Stephen Laing, Head of Collections & Engagement at the British Motor Museum.
