In 1988, the team made its first international foray at the Macau Grand Prix, a competition that would have seen it at the start for the most part of the following decades.[5]
In the same period, the team started expanding towards the bottom and the top of the junior single-seater ladder. Between 2006 and 2009, the team took part in the World Series Formula V8 3.5 championship with a best placing of fourth in 2008 with Miguel Molina, and also competed in the short-lived Italian and European Formula Abarth championships.
In early 2024, Prema expressed interest about joining IndyCar as early as 2025.[41] In April of that year, the team confirmed their entry into the 2025 season, and are going to be supplied by Chevrolet engines.[42] The team is set to have a two driver lineup, composed of Callum Ilott and former Prema F2 driver Robert Shwartzman.[43][44]
The team secured its first pole position with Shwartzman for the 2025 Indianapolis 500. Shwartzman became the first rookie driver to win the pole in qualifying since the 1983 running of the event.[45]
