Team Durango Racing returns to racing in 2017

The Italian team of Durango will return to motorsport next season. The team was founded in 1980 by Italians Ivon Pinton and Enrico Magro. The team notably participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2003 with a prototype, the PM02. The Italian racing stable achieved more successes with its recognizable blue/yellow livery in Formula 3000 and GP2 Series. In the period between 2005 and 2009, Durango participated in GP2 and won three races. Well-known drivers included: Clivio Piccione, Davide Valsecchi, Karun Chandhok, Lucas di Grassi and Stefano Coletti. After that, the team disappeared from GP2 due to financial reasons. In 2010, the racing stable was still in the news because it had an interest in Formula 1 after the debacle called USF1.

Next year, the racing stable will therefore return to motorsport. This time in the World Series Formula 3.5. Drivers are yet to be announced. On the weekend of April 16, the World Series Formula 3.5 V8 season begins on British territory at Silverstone.
