Vincenzo Sospiri Racing Srl—also recognized under names such as Fortec Italia Motorsport, Euronova Racing, and VS Racing—is an Italian motorsport outfit active in leading European GT and single-seater competitions.
History
Following his retirement from active driving, Vincenzo Sospiri collaborated with Fortec Motorsport and a group of Italian financiers in 2001 to form a Euro Formula 3000 squad. This team initially featured drivers Michael Bentwood and Polo Villaamil. The following year, in 2002, Sospiri joined forces with David Sears, resulting in a rebranding to Euronova Racing. The organization broadened its scope by entering Formula Abarth in 2011. Despite contemplating a return to their original identity in 2014, the team ultimately maintained the Euronova Racing name.
