Domestic racing Team BQR started competing in the Spanish road racing championship (Campeonato de España de Velocidad). Between 2005 and 2008 the team won three
Fórmula Extreme titles with
José David de Gea and two
125GP class titles with
Stefan Bradl and
Efrén Vázquez.
Grand Prix racing 125 and 250 cc classes After many World Championship wildcard appearances, BQR became a full entry in the
2001 season using
Honda bikes in the 250 cc class. In
2007 the team switched to
Aprilia machinery. BQR won its first World Championship race with
Scott Redding riding an Aprilia 125 at the
2008 British Grand Prix.
Moto2 The team unveiled the first
Moto2 bike in February 2009 and fielded a prototype in the 2009 Spanish Road Racing Championship. In
2010, they participated in the new Moto2 World Championship, with
Yonny Hernández and
Mashel Al Naimi as riders. The team continued in Moto2 until the conclusion of the
2013 season. In
2018, the team made a significant number of wildcard entries with rider
Xavi Cardelús.
MotoGP In the team debuted in the MotoGP class as a Claiming Rule Team using both
FTR Moto and Inmotec frames badged as
BQR, powered by
Kawasaki engines. The riders were
Iván Silva and
Yonny Hernández. In Avintia entered the MotoGP class with Kawasaki-engined FTR frames, fielding two bikes for
Hiroshi Aoyama and
Héctor Barberá. For the season Aoyama was replaced by
Mike Di Meglio and the team fielded a new bike badged as the
Avintia GP14, reportedly based on the 2007-2009
Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR with some input from
Kawasaki. Following a mid-season agreement between Avintia and
Ducati, Barberá received an Open-specification
Ducati Desmosedici for the last five rounds. In the team entered two Open class
Desmosedici GP14 motorcycles, for Barberá and Di Meglio. For Di Meglio was replaced by
Loris Baz. In the team changed its name to Reale Esponsorama Racing. In
2018, two bikes were fielded for
Tito Rabat and
Xavier Siméon. Former rider
Rubén Xaus joined the team as Siméon's coach. At the
British Grand Prix, Rabat's major crash with
Franco Morbidelli at Stowe corner was a contributing factor in the decision to cancel the race due to unsafe conditions. As a result of the triple fracture he sustained to his right leg, Rabat missed the remaining 7 races of the 2018 season, and was replaced by
Christophe Ponsson and
Jordi Torres. For
2019, Rabat returned and was partnered by Czech rider
Karel Abraham. In
2020 the team now known as
Esponsorama Racing retained Tito Rabat, this time paired with KTM factory exile
Johann Zarco. They also received a factory-support from Ducati - with the one-year old Desmosedici-spec bikes - because of the direct contract from Ducati for Zarco. For
2021, 2020 Moto2 World Champion
Enea Bastianini and
Luca Marini joined the team, both using a 2019-specification Ducati Desmosedici. The riders had different liveries on their bike, as Marini used the
Sky Racing Team VR46 livery, entered under the Italian flag, in an agreement with VR46. At the end of the 2021 season, Esponsorama announced they would be leaving the MotoGP class after 10 seasons, with the VR46 team taking their grid slots, and focusing on their Moto3 and MotoE activities.
Moto3 In
2017, Avintia debuted in the Moto3 class entering a KTM for
Vicente Pérez in two races as a wildcard. For
2018 the team entered a single full-season entry, beginning the season with
Livio Loi for the first seven rounds and replacing him with Pérez for the remainder of the season. In
2019 the team began with Pérez for the first seven rounds, but replacing him with
Stefano Nepa for the remaining races, and addition to a number of wildcard entries for Nepa,
Meikon Kawakami, and
Carlos Tatay. In
2020, Avintia entered reigning
Red Bull Rookies champion Tatay as their sole full-season entry in the class.
MotoE As a satellite team in MotoGP, Avintia was given an entry in the inaugural
MotoE World Cup in
2019. The team achieved two wins with
Eric Granado and two podiums with their former MotoGP rider
Xavier Siméon, good for third and sixth place in the championship, respectively. For the
2020 season, the team retained Granado and partnered him with their former Moto2 rider,
Andorran
Xavier Cardelús. ==Results==
