  • First position for Jeffrey Herlings at the Riola Sardo circuit, which hosted the first European event of the MXGP 2023 Championship.
  • The second race of the season was run over the weekend of March 25 and 26: second position for Glenn Coldenhoff and third position for Jorge Prado.
  • Third position for Jeffrey Herlings in Saturday's RAM Qualifying Races, the revamped qualifying sessions whose main sponsor is now the American Brand.
  • RAM alongside Red Bull KTM Factory Racing with its RAM 1500s, symbols of the Brand's sporty and gritty soul.
     

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's European adventure in the MXGP 2023 Championship begins with a success: on the circuit of Riola Sardo (OR), in fact, Jeffrey Herlings gets the first victory of this season riding his KTM 450 SX-F and he swept to his 100th Grand Prix victory.
For the second consecutive year, RAM is alongside Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in this competition as an official partner. The exciting MXGP 2023 began on the Villa La Angostura circuit in Patagonia (Argentina) in the weekend of March 11 and 12, and this second stage, the first in Europe, immediately brought great satisfaction to the Austrian team.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing has decided to face this season by keeping Jeffrey Herlings as the team's mainstay, riding the 450 SX-F, and focusing strongly on young riders, counting on the talents of Andrea Adamo, Sacha Coenen and Liam Everts, who each compete on a KTM 250 SX-F.
For the third time in history Sardinia hosted a step of the MXGP Championship, after the 2021 and 2022 editions: a circuit that collects more and more happy moments for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, which in last year's edition had already triumphed with Tom Vialle in the MX2 category. The next event is scheduled for Saturday, April 8 and Monday, April 10 in Frauenfeld, in the Swiss GP, on a completely renewed circuit.
 

RAM's role in the MXGP Championship 2023
RAM experienced the event as an absolute protagonist, a role it will play for the entire season. The American Brand, in fact, in this 2023 has become an official partner of the MXGP Championship and will therefore be present on the racetracks at all stages of the involved championships. In addition to RAM vehicles placement on site at the events, along the track and around the paddock, the sponsorship also includes the presence of the Brand in all structural and media elements related to the organization of individual events. A special factor in terms of visibility is the revamped MXGP and MX2 qualifying sessions on Saturday, for which the American Brand is the main sponsor, in fact called RAM Qualifying Races.

A path increasingly linked to sportiness and grit, as evidenced by the parallel, renewed partnership with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. For travel during the season's races, four RAM vehicles are again at the disposal of the teams for this 2023. Once again, two of them are RAM 1500 TRX: the U.S. Brand's flagship model, featuring segment-leading details and power, is designed and tested to last long and perform well under the most extreme conditions. Alongside them is a RAM Laramie Night Edition, which stands out for its combination of best-in-class performance, luxury and technology, and a RAM 1500 Rebel, perfect for anyone looking for a vehicle to ride off-road without fear, embodying the Brand's aggressive and sporty soul. Characteristics that make them two of the most popular and best-selling models of a Brand that is also opening up to new mobility solutions, with the announcement of the first 100% electric pickup truck, the RAM 1500 REV.
