Gresini Racing is a motorcycle racing team currently competing in the MotoGP World Championship under the name Aprilia Racing Team Gresini, the Moto2 World Championship as Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 and in the Moto3 World Championship under the name Gresini Racing Moto3.
The team was founded in 1997 by two-time 125cc world champion Fausto Gresini, after the end of his racing career. The team competed in the 500cc class for two seasons before dropping down to the 250cc class in 1999. In 2001, Gresini's rider Daijiro Kato won the 250cc title. The following season, the team stepped up to the MotoGP class, where they have been competing since. The team also competes in the Moto2 class since 2010. That season, Gresini's rider Toni Elías won the inaugural Moto2 title.
Fausto Gresini founded the team in 1997 with Fabrizio Cecchini as the technical director. The team competed in the 500cc class with Brazilian rider Alex Barros and a Honda NSR500V two-cylinder bike. Barros ranked ninth in the final championship standings, and managed to record the team's first podium finish at Donington Park. The following year, Honda decided to supply Barros and the team with a Honda NSR500 four-cylinder bike, the same bike that was used by the factory team. Barros recorded two podium finishes and a series of top-five finishes to collect 138 points and fifth place in the final standings.
