CFMOTO entered the Moto3 World Championship as a unique constructor using their KTM-based motorcycle.[12]
In 2022, CFMOTO made its debut in the Moto3 class of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing. In fact, two KTM RC250GPs rebranded CFMOTO were lined up by the Prüstel GP team.[13] The riders chosen for the debut season were Spaniards Xavier Artigas and Carlos Tatay.[14][15] At the Indonesian Grand Prix, Tatay started on pole position and finished in third place, the CFMOTO team's first podium.[16]
CFMOTO and Aspar Team join forces in 2024 to fight for the Moto2 and Moto3 titles. In 2023 CFMOTO achieved two more podiums at the Americas Grand Prix and the Australian Grand Prix. In 2024, the goal is even more ambitious: to fight for victories and podiums with the help of Jake Dixon and Izan Guevara, in Moto2, and David Alonso and Joel Esteban, in Moto3.[17] At the Qatar Grand Prix, David Alonso and the CFMOTO Aspar Team have made history with the first victory in the World Championship for a Chinese manufacturer.[18]
At the end of 2024 season, CFMOTO Aspar Team completes the triple crown. David Alonso was crowned world champion in JapaneseGP. CFMOTO became the first Chinese manufacturer to win the constructors' title in the World Championship. In addition, the CFMOTO Aspar Team has also won the teams' championship with two races to go.[19]
