ART GP inaugurated its new factory
The French team, based in Villeneuve-la-Guyard, in the Yonne department, has just moved to Saint-Pierre-du-Perray, in the Essonne department.
The ART GP team undoubtedly belongs to the landscape of French motor racing. Founded in 1996 by Frédéric Vasseur under the name ASM F3, the team won its first title in the French F3 championship as early as 1998. After further success internationally, Vasseur partnered with Nicolas Todt and renamed the team ART GP in 2004. Under its new name, ART would go on to win numerous drivers’ and teams’ titles, with drivers such as Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg, Charles Leclerc, George Russell, and Esteban Ocon, among others.
Since 2014 and the departure of Frédéric Vasseur in Formula 1, the team has been led by Sébastien Philippe. Last season, they won both championships in Formula 2 with Théo Pourchaire and Victor Martins.
Based since its creation in Villeneuve-la-Guyard, in the Yonne department, the team has just moved to the Parisian region, in Saint-Pierre-du-Perray, in the Essonne department. ART took advantage of this new year’s start to organize an inauguration evening for its new premises in the presence of its founder, its executives, and its current drivers, across all categories.
