MotoGP and brand tech: why technology loves speed
A natural marriage: technology and MotoGP
MotoGP is not just about speed, borderline overtaking and adrenaline. It is also one of the most advanced technological platforms in the world. Every race is an extreme test bed for engineering, electronics, software and data analysis. It is no surprise, then, that more and more technology brands are choosing this stage to tell their story and grow brand awareness.
Why technology brands invest in MotoGP
Value affinity
Speed, innovation, precision, performance. These are the same values that drive tech companies. The MotoGP sponsorship thus becomes a perfect metaphor for representing these concepts with authenticity and visual power.
Global visibility
With hundreds of millions of global viewers each year, TV broadcasts in 200+ countries, and a very active fanbase on social media, MotoGP is a powerful media machine. Tech brands find in the sport a showcase to communicate on a global scale.
Futuristic context
MotoGP paddocks are laboratories of innovation. Real-time data collection systems, artificial intelligence for race strategies, simulation software and predictive diagnostics. Sponsoring a team means being directly associated with this cutting-edge technological imagery.
Unique Activations
From augmented reality to personalized content marketing, tech brands can create immersive experiential campaigns, leveraging the aesthetics and passion of MotoGP. Corporate events, live demos in paddocks, collaborations with riders and teams to launch new products-anything is possible.
What the numbers say
-
+40% increase in the use of software solutions in motorsport from 2019 to 2024
-
More than 60 tech brands active in the MotoGP paddock
-
95% of teams use advanced data management technologies
These data show that MotoGP has become a benchmark for those who want to communicate innovation, agility, and digital transformation.
B2B and business benefits
For B2B technology brands, MotoGP is not just a visual platform, but a concrete business lever. Sponsorships offer:
-
Exclusive access to paddocks for meetings with decision makers
-
Branded content that can be used in global campaigns
-
Real case studies for use with clients and prospects
-
Hospitality experience to strengthen relationships with top stakeholders and customers
The key: telling the story of innovation with authentic storytelling
Consumers are increasingly demanding. They want to see brands do, not just talk. MotoGP allows tech companies to show their innovation in action, in a competitive and fascinating environment. It’s not just a logo on the fairing, it’s a narrative that moves at 200 mph.
MotoGP as an accelerator of brand tech
In 2025, the line between sports and technology is thinner than ever. For technology brands, MotoGP represents a unique platform to tell the story of innovation, power, and vision. With the right activation and communication strategy, sponsoring the sport can generate visibility, value, and real connections with customers and partners around the world.

Read MoreWhy choose RTR Sports Marketing
In an era where it is possible to get anywhere with a click, there is a strong temptation to approach teams and properties directly for sponsorship projects.
By doing so, we are convinced that we are shortening the value chain, saving time and money. However, these DYI methods are anything but risk-free and what initially appears to be a competitive advantage soon turns into a problem that is difficult to resolve. That’s why there are agencies. And this is why you should rely on us for your sponsorships.
Save time and money
When first approaching a sponsorship or sports marketing project, it is difficult to know immediately which stakeholders are correct, what the decision flow is, and what the right timelines are for each process. Sports is a very specialized field of action, and fitting effectively into its paths can take a lot of time and therefore money. We, on the other hand, know referents and spheres of action and know who to talk to, when and how. So you are also more effective.
The right information, the right choice
Sports is an immense passion, and for our heart colors we would be willing to do anything. But business is a different business, and it is important to make the best possible strategic decisions based on independent research, statistics and reliable data. A sports marketing and sports sponsorship agency like RTR has an objective, 360-degree picture of the scenario and can tell you what is really best for you: which sport, which athlete, which team. This is because we possess a great deal of data and information on ratings, segmentation and attitudes. Because the numbers don’t lie. Never.
Activations are the beating heart
Activations are the real heart of sports sponsorship. Without them, there remains only a blank sticker on a motorcycle, car or uniform and no contact with the public, no emotional connection, no impact on the bottom line. Then how do you do it? It certainly won’t be the teams or the athletes who will help you leverage sponsorship and enjoy the many marketing rights you have paid for. To bring out the best in a sports marketing project you need an agency that knows how to use sponsorship to engage the fanbase on the Web, to reach out to Shopping Centers, to organize hospitality, to develop B2B and B2C opportunities, and to get “your” athletes in front of millions of potential consumers.
Objective measurements for a certain return
Would you ever go to the dealer who sold you the car and ask if the competitor’s car is better? No, of course. So, how do you expect to get firm measurements of the effectiveness of your sponsorship if you do not rely on someone super partes? At RTR, we have always worked with independent third-party agencies that allow us to know the return on any exposure of your brand on TV and in the media. In addition, we believe in calculating ROI as the ultimate measure of your success-so we can tell you for every penny you spend how much you are making.
Sit back, relax, we’ll take care of it
We have been involved in sports sponsorship and sports marketing for more than 15 years. We are consultants in the sense that our goal is to maximize your investment, but we are also an agency that manages the project from start to finish. We have been doing this since 1995 with passion and professionalism, following three principles that have become cornerstones of our business: independence, verticality and transparency.
I would like to highlight the fact that one of the qualities of RTR is its great ability to approach the sponsorship scenario strategically, together with its passionate attitude, its amazing enthusiasm for solving problems, and its high level of professionalism.

Eurosport is truly delighted with its business relationship with Riccardo Tafà, who has become extremely popular, thanks to his detailed knowledge of the sports marketing sector and his highly diligent attitude to work.
Francois Ribeiro
Commercial Director
Passion and Expertise are the features that I have found in RTR since the very beginning. Serious and reliable professionals but also very helpful, nice and open-mind people, willing to listen and compare different ideas. All the values in which RTR believes make this agency a partner, not just a supplier, a partner with whom we have had the opportunity to achieve significant commercial results in term of success and image.
Luca Pacitto
Head of Communication
We have been working with RTR Sports Marketing for over 10 years. The objectives and the programmes of collaboration continue to be renewed and to grow with mutual satisfaction. I believe RTR is a team of great professionals led by Riccardo Tafà, who I consider a manager of exceptional skills and with a great passion for his work.
Lucio Cecchinello
Team Principal
I have known and worked with Riccardo Tafà since 1995 when we collaborated for the first time on a project for the Williams Formula 1 team. Several clients followed. After leaving Williams to work for Gerhard Berger then owner of the Toro Rosso F1 Team, I turned again to Riccardo to seek his help in finding a tool supplier for the team and Riccardo duly obliged with an introduction to USAG, a partnership with Toro Rosso which endured for five years. I recently started a new role as Group Commercial Director for the renowned Andretti Autosport organisation and I find myself working with Riccardo once again on a number of interesting projects. Why has this relationship with Riccardo endured ? He’s smart, knows the commercial side of sport inside out and back to front and he’s honest and trustworthy. Riccardo Tafà is a “doer” not a “talker”: in over 20 years I have never had a dispute either with him or with a company that he has introduced and each partnership introduced by Riccardo has delivered quantifiable ROI to rights holder and sponsor alike. I can think of no better testimonial of Riccardo’s diligence, knowledge, contact base and hard work than that.
