MP Motorsport is a Dutch racing outfit active in multiple series including the FIA Formula 2 Championship, FIA Formula 3 Championship, Eurocup-3, Spanish Formula 4 Championship, and the inaugural F1 Academy launched in 2023. The team has also competed in the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine, Auto GP, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, and the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup in collaboration with Manor Competition, formerly known as Manor MP Motorsport.
Background
Established in 1995 by Cock Kool under the name MultiPromo, MP Motorsport initially supported his sons Ferdinand and Mervyn Kool in karting, primarily participating in Dutch and Benelux Formula Ford competitions.
The team stepped into the Formula Renault 2.0 arena in 2003, engaging in both Eurocup and Benelux championships. By 2008, MP Motorsport made its debut in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series, achieving a notable victory through Paul Meijer at Spa Francorchamps.
In 2011, MP Motorsport progressed to Auto GP and formed a partnership with Manor Competition in 2012, jointly competing across the Auto GP World Series, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, and Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup.
MP Motorsport entered the GP2 Series in 2013, taking over from Scuderia Coloni and signing reigning Auto GP World Series champion Adrian Quaife-Hobbs alongside Daniël de Jong. The team earned its first GP2 podium at Monaco with Quaife-Hobbs finishing runner-up. The subsequent year, Marco Sorensen brought MP Motorsport its inaugural GP2 race win at Sochi.
Following a relatively quiet 2015 campaign, MP Motorsport reached its peak constructor points position in GP2 during 2016, largely credited to Oliver Rowland’s performance. That season also saw the team compete in SMP F4 and Spanish F4 championships where Red Bull Junior Richard Verschoor claimed both titles, while Jarno Opmeer secured second place in SMP F4.
For the 2017 season, MP Motorsport enlisted Sérgio Sette Câmara and Jordan King for GP2 competition and returned to Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 with drivers such as Verschoor, Opmeer, and Red Bull Junior Neil Verhagen. Christian Lundgaard captured the SMP F4 championship driving for MP, which also contested the Spanish F4 Championship fielding Lundgaard alongside Renault junior Marta García.
In 2018, MP Motorsport continued its presence in Formula 2 with Ralph Boschung and Roberto Merhi while expanding into the GP3 Series by replacing DAMS. Their GP3 roster included Dorian Boccolacci, Niko Kari, and subsequently Will Palmer. The team also participated in Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 with Max Defourny, Christian Lundgaard, and Alex Peroni. Competitors in SMP F4 and Spanish F4 included Isac Blomqvist, Amaury Cordeel—who secured the Spanish F4 title—and Patrick Schott.
During the 2019 season, MP Motorsport signed Amaury Cordeel, Lorenzo Colombo, and Renault junior Victor Martins for the Formula Renault Eurocup campaign; meanwhile, Richard Verschoor, Simo Laaksonen, and Red Bull Junior Liam Lawson represented them in FIA Formula 3 Championship. In Spanish F4, drivers such as Rafael Villanueva Jr., Nicolas Baert, Tijmen van der Helm, and KNAF-supported Glenn van Berlo joined the lineup. Their FIA Formula 2 squad featured Jordan King and Mahaveer Raghunathan; however, Raghunathan accumulated numerous penalty points due to inconsistent performances.
In 2022, MP Motorsport brought back former driver Felipe Drugovich alongside Clément Novalak for their Formula 2 entry. Drugovich clinched the Drivers' Championship while securing MP Motorsport’s first-ever Teams' title in Formula 2.
