History
[edit]
The team was formed in 2024 by Spanish racing driver Rubén Fernández Gil and his family. Pepe Oriola, a former WTCC driver and 2021 TCR South America champion, was appointed as team manager.[1][2][3]
On February 26, 2024, the team confirmed it would enter a pair of Honda Civic Type R TCR (FL5) cars in the 2024 FIA TCR World Tour season, with WTCR win record holder Esteban Guerrieri – who returned to TCR after a season with Floyd Vanwall Racing Team in WEC – and former Hyundai junior Marco Butti later named as the drivers.[4][5][6] In the team's first outing in round one at Vallelunga, both Guerrieri and Butti claimed podium finishes.[7] Serbian driver Dušan Borković joined the team's World Tour programme on a full-time basis from the third round, having scored a podium in a one-off appearance at the second round in Marrakech.[8][9]
On March 27, 2024, the team also confirmed it would enter the Honda Civic Type R TCR (FL5) in the 2024 TCR Europe season. Felipe Fernández Gil and series regular Dušan Borković were signed to compete with the team,[10][11] with team principal Rubén Fernández Gil later confirmed to drive a third Honda.[12] Santiago Concepción replaced Borković when the Serbian was announced to compete in TCR World Tour.[13]
