Enterprise GP

Enterprise GP is an English sim-racing team based in South London, England. The team is managed by James Kirk, co-founder and ex-co-team principal of TheSixthAxis Racing. Currently, Formula 1 event specialists FMCG are the team's title sponsor.

History

Born as Scuderia L'Asse Sesto, Enterprise GP was initially planned to be a new driver feeder team for TheSixthAxis Racing. Poised for entry into the proposed fifteenth season of the Gentlemens Racing Club Touring Car Championship alongside the GPVWC 2013 World Sport Series season, the team's debut into racing was delayed due to internal politics at TSA Racing. The transformation into Enterprise GP was completed when it was agreed that the team should be a separate entity to TSA Racing and was soon entered for the 2013 Turkish Sport Series with drivers Scott Berrisford and Matthew Allington.

Despite it's change to a completely independent team, Enterprise GP's aim remained to help develop newer drivers to sim-racing though the initial reluctance to sign experienced drivers was soon dropped.

World Sport Series

2013 Season

Despite joining the season late, Enterprise GP became a strong force in 2013 embedding themselves in the battle for 'the best of the rest'. Independent GRC drivers Scott Berrisford and Matthew Allington were signed to the team with no clear lead driver.

EGP's first competitive season saw more success than anticipated. The team quickly established themselves as top ten runners with Berrisford particularly impressing due to his consistency. The Englishman took the team's first podium at the 2013 Belgian Sport Series though Allington stole some of the lime light after qualifying a team best of third at the 2013 British Sport Series. Finishing seventh in the Teams' championship, overall the team scored 152 points; 109 for Berrisford and 43 for Allington who missed the 2013 Italian Sport Series.

At the end of the season, Berrisford revealed he would not be continuing in the World Sport Series in order to focus on his single-seater efforts though he continued to work with the team joining EGP's International Touring Cup team as reserve driver.

International Touring Cup

2013/2014 Season

On the back of their impressive showing in the World Sport Series, EGP were selected as one of twenty teams to take part in the debut season of the International Touring Cup. Ben Hackeson was revealed as the first signing for the team; sticking to the tradition of taking in newer drivers though the signing of Tom Parker would prove to be a significant departure for the team. Team Principal Kirk believed that Hackeson "needed a mentor" and he saw no better option than Parker.
