Overview
- Guenther Steiner is installed as CEO after his consortium with IKON Capital completed the Tech3 acquisition, with the team confirming its new investor roster.
- Alpine F1 driver Pierre Gasly invested via his Trail Slam/SLAM fund, which Tech3 says makes him the first active F1 driver to take equity in a MotoGP team.
- David Blitzer’s Bolt Ventures and Main Street Advisors joined the group, alongside additional backers named in team statements.
- The full group is reported to have paid about $50 million for the team, while earlier reporting put IKON’s portion near €20 million, with no official price breakdown disclosed.
- Tech3 remains a KTM satellite through 2026 as talks continue for 2027–2031, with KTM’s Pit Beirer calling a continued partnership the top priority and noting Steiner’s interest in staying.
