EPIC Racing[1] (Euskadi Phil Imanol Claudio Racing), formerly known as Epsilon Euskadi, was a racing team from Spain. The team's headquarters were located in Vitoria within Basque Country. Epsilon Euskadi ran teams within World Series by Renault and Formula Renault before selling the racing division to EPIC Racing in March 2011 in a bid to run the World Series by Renault with both Formula Renault 3.5 and Formula Renault 2.0.
In 2008 Epsilon Euskadi participated in sports car racing with the Epsilon Euskadi ee1 car.
Bid for Formula One
Although the team announced on 3 June 2009 that it had submitted an entry for the Formula 1 World Championship for 2010, the FIA did not list them amongst the 13 teams in the preliminary entry list released on 12 June 2009. They were however placed on the reserve list in case one of the 13 teams withdrew, but the withdrawal of USF1 took place too late for this contingency to operate.[2]
In March 2010 Epsilon Euskadi announced it applied to enter the 2011 Formula One championship, following the failure of US F1 to use the entry they had been granted.[3] This application was also unsuccessful.
Corruption
Epsilon Euskadi sponsored EPIC Racing with public funding of the Basque Country government.
In 2013 Epsilon Euskadi founder Joan Villadelprat and Mark Phillip Payne were taken to court in Vitoria under allegations of corruption. They were also alleged to have mismanaged public funds granted by the Basque Country government during the presidency of Juan Jose Ibarratxe.[4][5]
