British racing driver Mark Goddard moved to Asia in 1994 to manage and race with various racing teams in Formula Toyota, Formula Asia, and the Asian Formula Three Championship, eventually earning a drivers' title in the latter series with a team entered under his own name.[6] Goddard retired from racing in 2004 and founded Eurasia Motorsport in the Philippines later that year.[1][7]
Junior formula
Eurasia Motorsport entered a partnership with ItalianFormula One team Minardi in 2004 to run their junior development team for Asian young drivers. The combined team would race as Minardi Team Asia in both the Formula BMW Pacific series and the Asian Formula Three Championship. In the two years that the team competitively raced, they were listed under the Malaysian and Hong Kong flags.[8]
The team completed a dominant campaign in the 2012 Formula Pilota China season, as they would score 10 victories across 18 races. Team driver and series debutant Antonio Giovinazzi would be responsible for six of the ten, finishing as the overall champion. Eurasia's efforts would also allow them to take the Best Asian Driver Trophy with Parth Ghorpade and the overall team's title.[11] They would fight for the driver's titles on two more occasions in 2014 with Matt Solomon and in 2016 with Aidan Read,[12] completing the season 2nd overall on both occasions.
Eurasia Motorsport explored sports car racing for the first time in 2014, when they announced that they would be competing in the Asian Le Mans Series.[13] They contested the season against OAK Racing, the only other entry in the LMP2 class, however, were beaten comprehensively by the French squad, who were far more experienced in comparison and would later proceed to sweep the season.[14] Amidst further mixed results in later seasons, Eurasia Motorsport were able to win the final two rounds of the 2015–16 Asian Le Mans Series, doing so in a second entry driven by Sean Gelael and Antonio Giovinazzi. The team switched to LMP3 machinery a few years later in 2018–19.[15] In 2019–20, they entered two cars, bearing numbers #1 and #36. Each car saw contrasting campaigns; the #36 secured three consecutive podium finishes and a pole position to conclude the season 3rd in class,[16] whereas the #1 retired in three out of the four rounds.
The team expanded their sports car programme to Europe in 2015, by entering the 2015 European Le Mans Series in the LMP2 class with Nick de Bruijn and Pu Junjin.[17]Richard Bradley would return to Eurasia to substitute for Junjin in the fourth round. The team concluded their first ELMS season 6th in class, settling into the midfield. Tristan Gommendy joined Eurasia in 2016, where they would improve to 5th in class, collecting a podium in the 2016 4 Hours of Red Bull Ring. That same year, Eurasia Motorsport also competed in the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans, entering an Oreca 05 with Gommendy, de Bruijn, and Junjin. Their entry marked the first time in the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans that a team from the Philippines would participate in the event. Despite suffering sensor issues, the team remained out of trouble to finish in the top 10, taking home 9th overall and 5th in class.[18] Eurasia attempted Le Mans four more times in 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2021, but were unable to repeat the same success.[19] As of 2025, Eurasia Motorsport are the only racing team from the Philippines to have competed at Le Mans.
In 2019, Eurasia Motorsport entered the 2019 TCR Asia Series with Daniel Miranda and Gao Hua Yang.[28][29] Miranda collected two podiums and Yang earned one, ending their seasons in 4th and 5th overall respectively. Eurasia Motorsport returned to the championship six years later in the 2025 TCR Asia Series with Andy Liang Wenyao and Reignbert Diwa.[5] The pair scored a double podium for the team at Sepang International Circuit.[30]
