QJMotor Factory Racing is a motorcycle racing team representing the Chinese manufacturer QJMotor, competing in the Supersport World Championship. The team serves as the factory-backed entry of the brand in international competition and has focused on developing its racing project within the category. In 2026, it continues its participation in the championship, fielding riders Raffaele De Rosa and Marcos Ramírez.
Overview
QJMotor Factory Racing operates under a hybrid organizational structure combining manufacturer oversight with an independent European racing partner. The team's trackside operations are led by Manuel Puccetti, who serves in a role functionally equivalent to a team principal, overseeing race execution, rider management, and day-to-day sporting activities.
Strategic and technical direction is provided by QJMotor's factory organization in China, including leadership figures such as Daquan Zhou, who is responsible for research, development, and long-term programme planning.
This structure reflects a dual operational model in which engineering development and project strategy are managed at the manufacturer level, while on-track implementation is handled by the European-based racing team. As a result, the team does not consistently designate a single official “team principal,” with responsibilities instead distributed between factory management and its racing partner.
History
The team's competitive programme forms part of the brand's broader expansion into international motorcycle racing. The project originated in the early 2020s, following QJMotor's entry into Grand Prix racing through Moto3 in 2022 and subsequent participation in Moto2, reflecting a strategic effort to develop racing technology and global visibility.[1]
The team was established as a factory effort in the Supersport World Championship in 2024, becoming the first Chinese manufacturer to enter the category with a production-based motorcycle.[2] Its initial seasons focused on development, with Italian rider Raffaele De Rosa playing a key role in testing and refining the SRK 800 platform.
In 2025, QJMOTOR Factory Racing expanded its programme by fielding a two-rider line-up, continuing development of the SRK 800 RR while gradually improving performance and reliability. The introduction of updated machinery during the season marked a significant step forward in the project's technical evolution,[3] with increasing competitiveness in WorldSSP and continued integration within the WorldSBK framework.[4]
By 2026, the team entered its third season in WorldSSP, demonstrating steady progress and achieving improved race results, including consistent finishes closer to the top ten.[5] With an updated SRK 800 RS machine and an experienced rider line-up, the team has positioned itself as an emerging competitor, continuing to develop both its technical package and sporting performance within the championship.
