AIX Racing is a German auto racing team currently competing in the FIA Formula 2 Championship and the FIA Formula 3 Championship.[1] It started racing in 2024 after acquiring PHM Racing's Formula 2 and Formula 3 teams.[2][3][4]
History
[edit]
AIX Racing was formed from PHM Racing's Formula 2 and Formula 3 teams. In 2023, PHM had announced a new sponsorship deal with the Dubai-based AIX Investment Group that would see the team renamed PHM AIX Racing for 2024.[5][6] AIX later completed acquisition of the F2 and F3 structures in May 2024 and would compete at AIX Racing from the fourth and third rounds of the F2 and F3 championships at Imola respectively.[7]
At Round 4 of the 2024 FIA Formula 2 Championship in Imola, the team got their first podium with driver Joshua Dürksen finishing in third place in the feature race.[8] At Round 5 in Monaco, Taylor Barnard won his and the team's maiden Formula 2 race victory in the sprint race.[9] In late August 2024, Barnard, who was the reserve and development driver for McLaren in Formula E, was promoted as a full time driver for the 2024–25 season and subsequently ended his Formula 2 campaign. He was replaced by Niels Koolen for Rounds 11 and 12 at Monza and Baku respectively.[10]
