R-ace GP (formerly known as ART Junior Team) is an auto racing team from France, involved in many areas of motorsport, specifically those involving Renault.
R-ace GP was founded in 2011 by Thibaut de Merindol and Cyril Comte. They partook in the Eurocup and NEC championships of Formula Renault 2.0. Their driver line-up included Norman Nato, Pieter Schothorst and Côme Ledogar. In its first year of Formula Renault 2.0, the team scored eighth in the Eurocup championship, with Nato taking two podiums, and ninth in NEC, with Nato and Ledogar taking podiums.
In 2012, the team entered with a line-up of Andrea Pizzitola, Red Bull Junior Pierre Gasly and the McLaren-backed Nyck de Vries. The team climbed up to fifth in both standings, with de Vries taking the team's maiden victory in the NEC championship.
The following year, the team formed a close collaboration with ART Grand Prix and was renamed the ART Junior Team. Pizzitola remained with Alexandre Baron, Nico Jamin, Tanart Sathienthirakul, Alberto di Folco and Esteban Ocon joining the team. The team finished runners-up to Tech 1 Racing in the Eurocup standings, with Ocon achieving third place in the driver's standings.
In 2014, the team went forth with a new line-up of Aurélien Panis, Callan O'Keefe, Levin Amweg and Simon Gachet. The team achieved fourth place in both championships with wins from Amweg, O'Keefe and Panis. The following year, Max Defourny, Ukyo Sasahara, Darius Oskoui and Will Palmer (Eurocup only) formed the team's 2015 line-up. The team finished as runners-up to Josef Kaufmann Racing in the NEC championship, with Sasahara and Defourny claiming wins and spots in the top five in the overall standings, and sixth in Eurocup.
