Race Performance Motorsport (RPM) is an Italian based and Irish owned auto racing team currently competing in the Formula Regional European Championship.

Contents

Background

In February 2022, Irish racing driver Keith Donegan purchased the assets of RP Motorsport to start his own team, Race Performance Motorsport (RPM). The team is registered in Italy, and based in Piacenza, like its predecessor. With an aim to compete in the Formula Regional European Championship, he took on Enrico Carraro as team manager, and the team made their competition debut in the 2022 Formula Regional European Championship, when they took the place of DR Formula. [1] They started their first season with Italian racing driver Pietro Delli Guanti and Donegan himself. [2] [3]

In an interview on 16 May 2022, Donegan revealed intentions for the team to field a third car in the Formula Regional European Championship before the end of the 2022 season. [4]

For Round 6 at the Hungaroring, the team fielded Andrea Rosso in the third car to be kept for the remainder of the season, and Owen Tangavelou replaced Donegan as the driver in the second car. [5] [6]

For the 2023 season, the team signed Macéo Capietto, Adam Fitzgerald and Santiago Ramos. [7] [8] [9]
