Prema Racing
Prema Racing (sometimes stylised as PREMA Racing), previously known as Prema Powerteam, is an Italian motorsport team, owned and operated through the DC Racing Solutions parent company. Founded in 1983, the team is based in Grisignano di Zocco and currently operates out of Italy and the United States. They are the sister team of Iron Lynx and its own sister team, Iron Dames.
Prema participate in various junior championships and have been a talent pool for several Formula 1 junior programs including: Toyota, Renault, Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull, and Williams. Their participation in motorsports is not limited to junior formulae though, as the team made their FIA World Endurance Championship and European Le Mans Series debuts in 2022, marking the beginning of their efforts in the endurance racing. They also started competing in the IndyCar Series during 2025.
As of 2025[update], Prema are fielding 29 drivers and participate in fourteen championships under various names.
Prema Racing started operating in 1983 and joined the Italian Formula 3 Championship the following year. National F3 would be the main proving ground for the team in the early years. Among his first famous alumni stand future Touring Car star Fabrizio Giovanardi, multiple Le Mans winner Rinaldo Capello and Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve. More Italian Formula 3 Championship titles came in 1990 with Roberto Colciago, in 1998 with Donny Crevels and in 1999 with Peter Sundberg. The team also made a one-season attempt at the International Formula 3000 Championship.
In 1988, the team made its first international foray at the Macau Grand Prix, a competition that would have seen it at the start for the most part of the following decades.
In 2000, Prema started competing in the modern-era Formula Renault races, winning the Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup Team Championship and the Italian Formula Renault 2000 championship with Ryan Briscoe in 2001. Other notable achievements include winning the 2005 Italian Formula Renault 2000 Championship with future F1 star Kamui Kobayashi.
In 2003, the team entered the Formula 3 Euro Series and won the inaugural edition with Ryan Briscoe. In the following years, the team struggled to achieve competitive results but rebounded by claiming the 2011 and 2012 titles with Roberto Mehri and Daniel Juncadella. The series then transitioned into the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, and Prema started almost complete domination, winning all the team titles from 2011 and 2018 and all the driver championships but one. Some of the Champions also went on to become Formula 1 drivers including Esteban Ocon, Lance Stroll, and Mick Schumacher. In 2011, the team claimed its first Macau Grand Prix win with Juncadella.
In the same period, the team started expanding towards the bottom and the top of the junior single-seater ladder. Between 2006 and 2009, the team took part in the World Series Formula V8 3.5 championship with a best placing of fourth in 2008 with Miguel Molina, and also competed in the short-lived Italian and European Formula Abarth championships.
