PHM Racing is a German auto racing team.^[1] It started racing in 2022 after taking over Mücke Motorsport's Formula 4 assets.^[2] They later entered Formula Regional Middle East, FIA Formula 3 and FIA Formula 2, the latter two in collaboration with Charouz Racing System initially under the PHM Racing by Charouz banner.^[3] The F2 and F3 operations were bought out by financial services firm AIX Investment Group and renamed AIX Racing in May 2024.^[4]

History

Born from the ashes of Mücke Motorsport's single-seater programme, which was disbanded at the end of 2021, PHM Racing was founded by Paul Müller with a squad mostly consisting of former Mücke personnel and the aim of being a non-profit organization.^[5]^[6] The team made its first step into racing in the Formula 4 UAE Championship in 2022, competing with Nikita Bedrin, Jonas Ried and Taylor Barnard. Following a campaign that yielded the team's first ever race win with Barnard and a further pair of victories brought by Bedrin, team owner Paul Müller announced that they would be stepping into the Italian and German F4 series.^[7]^[8]

The team entered Formula Regional Middle East for the 2023 winter season, before expanding into Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 with a partial takeover of Charouz Racing System.^[9] PHM assumed full control of the F2 and F3 teams' operations prior to the 2023 Yas Island Formula 2 round, and announced a new sponsorship deal with the Dubai-based AIX Investment Group that would see the team renamed PHM AIX Racing for 2024.^[10]^[11] AIX Investment Group later completed acquisition of the F2 and F3 structures in May 2024.^[4] The Formula Regional and F4 outfits reverted to the PHM Racing name in October 2024 in the wake of the AIX sponsorship deal ending.^[12]
