Descriptiontext

Kawasaki Puccetti Racing is a privately held Italian professional motorcycle racing team operating as Moto Club Puccetti Racing S.S.D.r.l., headquartered in Reggio Emilia, Italy. Founded in 2012 and active in international competition since at least 2012, the team has held official factory-supported status from Kawasaki since 2021 and currently competes in two FIM-sanctioned world championships: the FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) and the FIM Supersport World Championship (WorldSSP). It fields the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR in WorldSBK and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 636 in WorldSSP, with the 2026 rider lineup comprising Garrett Gerloff (WorldSBK), Jeremy Alcoba, and Dominique Aegerter (WorldSSP), plus David Salvador already announced for 2027. The team is led by Team Principal Manuel Puccetti, who has overseen podium finishes in world championships since 2013 with riders such as Kenan Sofuoglu, Toprak Razgatlioglu, and Lucas Mahias.

The business model is centered on factory-supported motorsport competition rather than product sales or software licensing. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the team has no external funding rounds, private equity investment, or public listing. Operating economics depend on the Kawasaki factory partnership and unstated sponsorship arrangements. The team maintains a small core headcount of six listed employees, supplemented by riders, mechanics, and contractors required to run two parallel championship programs across an international calendar spanning ten European rounds plus Australia.

Commercially, the team uses organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube) and its official website (puccettiracing.it) as its primary channels for fan engagement, rider promotion, and sponsor value delivery. The team also runs Kawasaki Puccetti Racing entries in the WorldSBK Sportbike (WorldSPB) category. Distribution is limited to in-person championship events; there are no product distribution channels, pricing models, or commercial software offerings. The team's value proposition is brand promotion for Kawasaki through competitive results at the highest levels of production-based motorcycle racing.
