History

After retiring from racing, Vincenzo Sospiri decided to collaborate with Fortec Motorsport and Italian investors to create in 2001 Euro Formula 3000 team with Michael Bentwood and Polo Villaamil as racing drivers.[1] In 2002, Sospiri joined forces with David Sears and the team was renamed to Euronova Racing.[4] Euronova entered in Formula Abarth in 2011.[5] The team wanted to return their initial name in 2014, but remained as Euronova.[6]
