Motogladiator

What Motogladiator does

Motogladiator is a privately-held motorsports organization founded in 2016 and headquartered in Ashland, Virginia. The company operates AMA-sanctioned motorcycle road racing championships aimed at amateur and semi-professional riders, particularly track-day enthusiasts seeking a structured competitive environment. The championship series runs across six U.S. circuits — Virginia International Raceway (VIR), New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP), Summit Point Motorsports Park, Pittsburgh International Race Complex (Pitt Race), Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP), and North Carolina Center for Automotive Research (NCCAR) — with 15 events scheduled in 2023. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and is privately held with no disclosed external funding.

The company runs its operations on third-party technology platforms: Evolve GT supplies the database and mobile application used for event registration and competitor licensing, while MYLAPS TR2 transponders provide live timing and scoring during races. The series offers multiple race classes and has introduced the MG40 MOTOGIRLGT category targeting women riders. Sponsorship partners include Trackside Tires, Hazardous Racing, and Pirelli, the latter providing tire support at multiple rounds.

Revenue is generated primarily through race entry fees, which vary by class (typically in the $150–$400+ per day range), license certification fees, and referral commissions from MYLAPS transponder sales. The business model is event-driven and seasonally concentrated, with revenue distributed across a broad base of individual paying riders rather than concentrated enterprise contracts.

Revenue model

1. Race Entry Fees: Motogladiator charges race entry fees for participation in championship events across multiple U.S. tracks. Entry fees typically range from $150 to over $400 per day based on general industry track day pricing benchmarks.
2. Race License Certification: The company offers race license certification classes for experienced riders interested in competition. These training and licensing programs represent a revenue stream for the organization.
3. Transponder Rentals: Limited transponder rental availability is offered during event weekends though highly constrained and not guaranteed. Riders are strongly encouraged to purchase their own MYLAPS TR2 transponders.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Evolve GT: Provider of Motogladiator's registration and event management platform, and also a major track day organizer in its own right. Comparable as a track-based event operator that shares customer overlap with track day riders, though not a racing championship.
• American Motorcyclist Association (AMA): National sanctioning body for American motorcycle racing and the entity that provides Motogladiator's official sanctioning. Comparable as a governing body whose regulations and contingency programs directly shape Motogladiator's competitive structure.
• Sport Bike Track Gear: Major U.S. retailer and sponsor of motorcycle track day and racing gear. Comparable as a participant in the same ecosystem (sponsor, vendor, audience) as Motogladiator, though not a competing racing series.

Direct peers

• WERA Motorcycle Roadracing: Long-standing amateur motorcycle road racing sanctioning body in the U.S. offering national challenge series and regional events. Directly competes with Motogladiator for amateur racers in similar sportbike classes at overlapping U.S. tracks.
• Yamaha Champions Riding School: Premier motorcycle riding and racing school operated by multi-time champion riders. Comparable to Motogladiator's training and licensing services, with similar target riders but a focus on instruction rather than championship series.
• AHRMA (American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association): U.S. sanctioning body for vintage motorcycle racing and events. Operates parallel racing formats at similar venues, competing for amateur racing riders and track-day enthusiasts interested in motorcycle competition.
• MotoAmerica: The premier U.S. professional motorcycle road racing series, sanctioning professional-level races across multiple classes. Direct competitor for riders, sponsors, and venue relationships, but operating at a higher professional tier than Motogladiator's amateur/expert championship.
• Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association (CMRA): Texas-based amateur motorcycle road racing organization operating sprint and endurance races. Similar business model to Motogladiator, organizing race weekends at premier U.S. tracks for amateur and expert-level motorcycle competitors.
• Penguin Racing School: Motorcycle racing school and event operator offering training, race licensing preparation, and track days at U.S. venues. Comparable to Motogladiator's license certification business and recurring rider pipeline.

Emerging players

• N2 Track Days: National track day organization running recreational track day events at U.S. circuits. Comparable because it serves the same base of track day riders that Motogladiator targets for conversion into competitive racing.
