SG Formula is a French motorsport team established in 2004 by Stephane Guerin, with a focus on developing talent in junior open-wheel racing categories such as Formula Renault and Formula Three.
History
Since its inception in 2004, SG Formula has mainly participated in the French championship, while also making occasional appearances in the European and Swiss competitions. Notable drivers during this period included Yann Clairay, Guillaume Moreau, and Romain Grosjean. The team achieved a runner-up position in the French Teams' Championship, with Clairay and Moreau securing second and third places respectively in the Drivers' standings.
In 2005, SG Formula broadened its scope by entering select rounds of the Dutch championship, alongside full-season commitments in both the French and European series. The driver lineup expanded to include Carlo van Dam, Johan Charpilienne, and Julien Jousse. Grosjean clinched the French Drivers' Championship title, while SG Formula captured Team Championships in both the Eurocup and French series. Van Dam also earned several podium finishes in the Dutch championship. Additionally, the team collaborated with Dyna Ten Motorsport to compete in a support race during the Macau Grand Prix.
By 2006, Grosjean had transitioned to Signature-Plus to pursue a campaign in Formula Three. SG Formula retained van Dam and Jousse, while adding Red Bull-supported Tom Dillmann for Eurocup events and newcomer Jean-Karl Vernay for the French championship. The Eurocup squad finished second overall in the Teams' Championship, with van Dam placing third among drivers. Vernay was both runner-up and top rookie in France, where SG Formula secured its second consecutive Team Championship.
In 2007, SG Formula fielded two separate entries in the Eurocup — SG Formula and SG Driver's Project — featuring drivers such as British racer Jon Lancaster and Charles Pic. Lancaster finished second in the Drivers' Championship, contributing to the team's overall title victory. In what would be the final French championship season before its evolution into the West European Cup, Jules Bianchi won the Drivers' Championship as SG Formula earned its third straight Team Championship.
The team progressed to compete in the Formula Three Euroseries during 2008 with drivers Yann Clairay, Henkie Waldschmidt, and Tom Dillmann, concluding sixth in the Teams' standings; Clairay ranked ninth individually.
SG Formula intended to return for 2009 with Lancaster and Waldschmidt joined by Andrea Caldarelli from the Eurocup.
At the beginning of 2010, SG Formula withdrew from principal series including Formula Renault 3.5, Formula Three Euroseries, and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0.
