Things are moving fast for the OnlyFans-sponsored American Racing Team (OART) ahead of the 2024 Moto2 season. OART recently announced that racers Joe Roberts and Marcos Ramirez will be driving for the team next year. Both former racers for OART during the team’s successful 2020 season, Joe and Marcos face high expectations from the racing community for 2024. We spoke with them about their racing careers, their return to OART, and what the future holds for the 2024 OnlyFans American Racing Team.
Joe Roberts @joerobertsracer
Joe Roberts has been racing motorcycles since before his fourth birthday. To say that racing is part of his DNA would be an understatement. Joe came up racing in the Red Bull system, where he was seen as a top prospect.
“I think the greatest thing about motorcycle racing is there is always a race to chase, a goal to achieve.
It’s probably one of the worst things about it, but the greatest thing is that nothing is ever good enough. That’s what keeps me motivated.”
Joe’s original run with OART in 2020 led to his becoming the first American to earn multiple podiums in nearly ten years.
At the end of the 2020 season, Joe said farewell to OART and joined the Italtrans Racing Team from 2021-2023. But it was his ongoing connections with OART’s staff that ultimately brought him back.
“I had an amazing year with OART in 2020. There are a lot of relationships, and I enjoy working with them, especially [OART Race Director] John Hopkins.
Even during the time that I wasn’t with the team, we’ve always stayed good friends.”
Now back with OART and partnered with his old racing buddy Marcos Ramirez, Joe is poised for yet another incredible season with the team.
“It’s a bit of déjà vu being back with Marcos again. I’m excited about it!
We’ll go on some nice runs together.”
But while it is a return for Joe back on the team, things have obviously changed for American Racing during his absence. Specifically, the team has welcomed OnlyFans as a sponsor.
And what can fans look forward to from Joe’s OnlyFans profile?
“I think the concept of OnlyFans is really exciting, to bring fans in and give a bit more of a personal touch.
I’ve always wanted to have a platform to do that, and I’m going to be delivering that on OnlyFans.”
Marcos Ramirez @24marcosramirez
Marcos Ramirez is a racer out of Spain who has shown great promise since 2012. He has steadily worked his way up from juniors to Moto3.
Now, he’s is a known quantity throughout Moto2 racing.
Marcos rejoined OART for the final half of the 2023 season, following his departure at the end of 2021 from the team.
In his short time back with OART, Marcos already nabbed his first podium in Malaysia– jumping from a starting position of fifth to finish third.
That 2023 podium in Malaysia couldn’t have come at a better time came for Marcos and his career.
“For me, it was a super good result. After a few years without anything, I came back to OART and we started getting much, much better.
The podium in Malaysia? It was incredible!”
Marcos’ first two seasons with OART resulted in some disappointments– finishing 19th in 2020, and 17th in 2021.
But his 2023 season proves that Marcos has picked up valuable wisdom and confidence during his time away.
So how did Marcos find his way back to OART in 2023?
“When another rider had an injury, I was asked to replace him.
I knew I could finish towards the top, and I already knew the team from riding with them in the 2021 and 2022 seasons.
It was an opportunity I couldn’t say no to.”
Like Joe, Marcos is excited to give his new OnlyFans subscribers an insider look at life in the fast lane.
“I’m really looking forward to showing you what Moto2 life is like at the track and away.
I’ll bring you closer into our journey!”
