A sense of perpetual progress emanates from the Prema Racing factory in Grisignano di Zocco. With a new building housing its endurance racing collaboration with Iron Lynx and Lamborghini nearing completion, a simulator being installed, and freshly delivered parts of the new-for-2024 Formula 2 car waiting for assembly, it’s clear that this is a team constantly searching for success.
But the occasion for this visit is a poignant look back to the past, celebrating the team’s 40th anniversary. With 39 drivers’ titles and 25 teams’ championships under its belt, Prema is undeniably one of the junior series’ most successful operations, and a byword for prestige in the paddock among drivers and teams alike. Founded by Angelo Rosin in 1983, it initially opted for a foray into prototype racing, before quickly moving into Formula 3. It was in 1990 when it first tasted title success, with Roberto Colciago’s Italian F3 crown the first of many championships to come.
