Bhaitech Racing (occasionally presented as BhaiTech Racing) was an Italian company offering automotive research and development services alongside its role as a motorsport team.

Competition

The team made its first appearance in 2012, participating in the Italian GT Championship with a McLaren 12C GT3. In 2013, Bhaitech clinched both the GTS Teams' and Drivers' championships in the International GT Open, with Giorgio Pantano behind the wheel. The subsequent year, 2014, saw them compete in the Blancpain Sprint Series, where they achieved seventh place in the Teams' Cup standings.

Following a hiatus of one year, Bhaitech re-entered the racing scene in 2016 within the Italian F4 Championship, securing multiple podium finishes with drivers Richard Verschoor and Lorenzo Colombo. The 2017 season brought them the teams' championship and rookie title thanks to Leonardo Lorandi; meanwhile, Colombo and Sebastian Fernandez attained third and fourth overall positions respectively. In 2018, Bhaitech once again captured the rookie championship with Petr Ptáček, while Lorandi narrowly lost out on the overall crown to Enzo Fittipaldi.

Towards the end of 2018, Bhaitech broadened its scope by joining the Formula Renault Eurocup for the 2019 season, enlisting Ptáček and Italian F4 champion Federico Malvestiti. Early in 2019, additional drivers such as Umberto Laganella, Mikhail Belov, Nicola Marinangeli, and Matteo Nannini were brought on board for their Italian F4 Championship campaign.

Technological Developments

Bhaitech's core expertise lay in research and development focused on automotive and motorsport technologies. In 2018, it established a strategic alliance with Altran Italia aimed at enhancing its technological innovation capabilities.
