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.

[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]
