iSport International is a British championship winning motor racing team that competes in the GP2 Series and GP2 Asia Series, the official feeder series for Formula One. It was founded in 2004.

Overview

iSport International was founded in 2004 to compete in the new Formula One feeder series GP2 after F3000 series ended. The team is comprised of several former members of the Petrobras Junior Team who took Bruno Junqueira to his Formula 3000 championship victory in 2000. Their factory is based in Carleton Rode near Norwich, England.

Jonathan Williams, son of Williams F1 founder Sir Frank Williams is an advisor for the team.

History

Bruno Senna driving for iSport at the Magny-Cours round of the 2008 GP2 Series season.

The inaugural season of the GP2 series saw iSport take the fastest time in the shoot-out for race numbers, giving their drivers Scott Speed and Can Artam numbers 1 and 2 for the season. While the team was regularly fast at races they weren't able to win a race. The team finished the season in 4th place.

In 2006 the American graduated to Formula 1 with a drive at Toro Rosso, and iSport filled their seats with Ernesto Viso and Tristan Gommendy, who would be replaced by Timo Glock at mid-season. Viso brought the team their first two wins, with Glock taking two more wins, giving the team 3rd place in the championship.

Timo Glock remained with the team for 2007 and was joined by 2006 race winner Andreas Zuber. Timo Glock won the championship at the last race of the season at Valencia after a season long battle with Lucas Di Grassi. The team won the team's championship.

With Glock moving to Formula One with Toyota, and Zuber leaving to join Piquet Sport, for 2008, iSport have an all new driver lineup of Bruno Senna (nephew of three times F1 world champion Ayrton) and Karun Chandhok. Both drivers also competed for iSport in the GP2 Asia Series.

2009 sees iSport once again change their driver line-up with Giedo van der Garde and Diego Nunes replacing Bruno Senna and Karun Chandhok.
