History
[edit | edit source]Racing
[edit | edit source]Bhaitech made its racing debut in 2012, contesting the Italian GT Championship using a McLaren 12C GT3.[3] A year later, the team contested the International GT Open and clinched the GTS Teams' and Drivers' titles with Giorgio Pantano.[4] In 2014, BhaiTech competed in the Blancpain Sprint Series which saw them finish seventh in the Cup category of the Teams' Championship.[5]
After a year's sabbatical from motorsports, Bhaitech returned to racing in 2016, competing in the Italian F4 Championship, which saw them claim podium finishes with Richard Verschoor and Lorenzo Colombo.[6] A year later, the team clinched the teams' title and the rookie championship with Leonardo Lorandi while Colombo and Sebastian Fernandez claimed third and fourth in the 2017 championship respectively.[7] In 2018, the team claimed a second rookie championship title with Petr Ptáček, while Lorandi narrowly missed out on the title to Enzo Fittipaldi.[8][9]
In November 2018, it was announced Bhaitech would expand into the Formula Renault Eurocup championship for 2019, reuniting with Ptáček and signing Italian F4 race winner Federico Malvestiti.[10][11][12] In January 2019, Bhaitech made their first driver signings with Umberto Laganella, Michael Belov, Nicola Marinangeli and Matteo Nannini joining the outfit for the Italian F4 Championship.[13][14][15][16]
