History

edit

Before founding Evans GP in 2020, Evans had worked for a number of successful motor racing teams. He worked for Sonic Motor Racing Services when they won the Australian Formula Ford Championship with David Reynolds in 2004 and Tim Blanchard in 2007, before then becoming General Manager and Chief Engineer of BlackArts Racing Team. In his time with BlackArts Racing, Evans won 16 championships, including Chinese F4, Asian Formula Renault - and most recently, the 2019-20 F3 Asian Championship with Joey Alders.

Evans GP made its debut in the 2021 F3 Asian Championship. It achieved second place in the Teams’ Championship, ahead of rivals such as the Mumbai Falcons (who were supported by Prema Racing), Pinnacle Motorsport, and Hitech Grand Prix. Drivers Isack Hadjar and Patrik Pasma would go on to compete in the 2021 Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine (FRECA), with Hadjar finishing the year as rookie champion.

Evans GP competed in the rebranded Formula Regional Asian Championship in 2022, where they took a race win with Patrik Pasma in the fourth round of the season at Dubai Autodrome. In January 2023, the team sold their Asian operations to Dutch motor racing team MP Motorsport ahead of the Australian team's move to the United Kingdom. Evans became the team manager of the MP Motorsport by Hyderabad Blackbirds team in the 2023 Formula Regional Middle East Championship (FRMEC), which placed third overall - with drivers Mari Boya and Sami Meguetonif achieving race wins.

The team entered the 2023 GB4 Championship with Red Bull Racing Esports and S5000 driver Cooper Webster, British F4 driver Kai Daryanani, and Taiwanese racing driver Thomas Lee.[5][6][7] Later that year, Evans GP announced their return to Asian motorsports. The team will field entries in the 2023 Formula Regional Asian Championship and 2024 Formula Regional Middle East Championship.[2]
