History
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]
2024
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]
The team scored two TCR World Tour victories that year, with Guerrieri victorious in the first race at Interlagos[14] and Borković taking his maiden win in the season finale in Macau while also leading the team's first podium lockout.[15] Guerrieri entered the final round with a chance to win the title, but they vanished after an accident in the round's first race and he was effectively classified 4th overall.[16] The team finished the 2024 season 3rd in the teams standings.
2025
The team remained in TCR World Tour for the 2025 season, but scaled back down to two cars. Esteban Guerrieri was retained,[17] with Honda junior Ignacio Montenegro taking the second seat after finishing 3rd in TCR Europe in 2024.[18] Other drivers, including Borković, Butti and Felipe Fernández Gil would make guest appearances during the season as well.[19] [20]
The team did not compete in the 2025 TCR Europe season as their operation was taken over by RC2 Racing Team, which is also owned by the Fernández family.[21]
Guerrieri started the 2025 season by taking pole position and two victories in the opening round in Mexico and grabbing the early points lead.[22] [23] [24]
