History

[edit | edit source]
Honda Civic Type R TCR (FL5) of GOAT Racing in the 2024 TCR World Tour

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

[edit | edit source]

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

[edit | edit source]

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]
