EuroInternational operates as a motorsport entity consisting of its Italian branch, EuroInternational Srl, and its American counterpart, EuroInternational Inc., both under the ownership of Antonio Ferrari.

History

Initially established as Euromotorsport, the team made its CART debut in 1989 at Phoenix with driver Jean-Pierre Frey. After Frey was unable to complete the USAC Rookie Orientation at Indianapolis, Davy Jones stepped in to qualify for the Indianapolis 500, achieving a 7th place finish in his only race that season.

From 1989 through 1994, EuroInternational competed in the CART Indy Car World Series, frequently entering European pay drivers. Their top performance was a 4th place finish at the 1993 Detroit Grand Prix with Andrea Montermini behind the wheel. The squad qualified for the Indianapolis 500 on three occasions: Davy Jones in 1989 and 1993, and Mike Groff in 1992.

Although there were intentions to field Juri Nurminen for the 1995 CART season, the team did not participate in any events that year. During this period, they also raced in the IMSA series and took part in the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans piloting a Ferrari 333SP. In 1996, running an Osella sports prototype within IMSA competition, they attempted an entry into the Indianapolis 500 under Osella USA with Russ Wicks; however, they withdrew due to lack of sponsorship.

The organization rebranded as EuroInternational in 1997 and entered the Indy Racing League (IRL) IndyCar Series, with Billy Roe competing in two races including the 1997 Indianapolis 500.

Following a break from racing, EuroInternational reemerged in junior formulas such as Formula Renault and Formula BMW USA. Although there were reports of a possible return to Champ Car competition in 2006, this did not come to fruition. In 2007, after acquiring assets from Alan Sciuto Racing, they prepared for the 2008 Champ Car Atlantic Championship with Italian driver Edoardo Piscopo but ultimately ran Daniel Morad and Luis Schiavo instead.

During 2008, EuroInternational managed Superleague Formula teams SC Corinthians and Atlético Madrid featuring drivers Antônio Pizzonia and Andy Soucek. The team withdrew from both the Atlantic Championship and Superleague Formula at the conclusion of that year.
