Acquisition of Tech3 MotoGP Team

The investment supports a new ownership structure for Tech3 and the appointment of Guenther Steiner as Chief Executive Officer, who brings exceptional leadership credentials and extensive experience at the highest levels of motorsport, and shares a vision to build a sustainable, globally relevant MotoGP™ platform.

The transaction follows more than a year of work led by IKON Capital and comes at a pivotal moment for MotoGP™, following the recent announcement of Liberty Media as the championship’s new owner.

Founded in 1990, Tech3 is one of the most established independent teams in MotoGP™, with an outstanding competitive record that includes 38 premier-class podium finishes and two Grand Prix victories since joining the championship’s top tier in 2001.

Under the new ownership structure, the strategic objective is to evolve Tech3 beyond a successful racing operation into a modern sports franchise aligned with MotoGP™’s growing global reach and entertainment value. Bolstered by an influx of new capital, Tech3 will be positioned to enhance its sporting performance, further professionalise its commercial infrastructure, and build its franchise value through increased brand development, fan engagement, and sponsor activation.

Guenther Steiner, CEO of Red Bull KTM Tech3 said,  “It’s a very exciting time to be entering MotoGP, and it was important to IKON Capital and me to bring together a group of like-minded investors who share a long-term vision for the Tech3 team. We are joined by a strong group that understands motorsport, brings genuine value-added capabilities, and shares our core values. Just as importantly, we are committed to preserving Tech3’s heritage while taking a measured, strategic approach to growth. This is about building on what already works, and I’m looking forward to working together to shape the team’s future.”

Dolphin Capital congratulates IKON Capital on the successful completion of the transaction and extends appreciation to all those involved.
