Perspective
Invicta Racing traces its origins back to a title sponsorship deal inked by FIA Formula 2 Championship team Virtuosi Racing and watch company Invicta in 2023.[4] Initially competing as Invicta Virtuosi Racing, the partnership yielded three victories for Jack Doohan in the 2023 Formula 2 season.
In December 2023, Invicta announced that it had purchased an ownership stake in the team, marking the birth of Invicta Racing while Virtuosi still controlled the outfit's operations.[1] With Jack Doohan graduating to a test and reserve driver role with the Alpine F1 Team and Amaury Cordeel switching to Hitech, the team had a brand new driver lineup for 2024 in Indian Alpine junior Kush Maini and reigning FIA Formula 3 champion Gabriel Bortoleto.[5][6][7] It proved to be a breakthrough season for both parties, as Bortoleto collected two wins and narrowly beat Campos Racing's Isack Hadjar to the title in his rookie year, earning a promotion to Formula One with Sauber.[8] Maini's points in turn helped Invicta clinch the teams' championship.[9]
In March 2025, Invicta completed acquisition of the Formula 2 squad and fully split from Virtuosi.[2] The outfit subsequently underwent management changes, with James Robinson appointed as CEO and team principal in place of Andy Roche, who remained a consultant,[10] while senior engineer Geoff Spear became team manager.[3][11] For its first independent season, Invicta Racing signed 2024 FIA Formula 3 champion Leonardo Fornaroli along with F2 veteran Roman Staněk.[12][13]
