Tech 1 Racing is a racing team based in Toulouse, France. Founded in 2000 by racing driver Simon Abadie and his sister Sarah, it has garnered success in the World Series by Renault, the Eurocup Mégane Trophy and the GP3 Series, most notably winning the 2007 Formula Renault 3.5 Series with Álvaro Parente.[1]
More recently, Tech 1 operated the racing programmes of Panis Racing and its predecessor Panis Barthez Compétition from 2016 to 2023. These included entry to the European Le Mans Series and Asian Le Mans Series's LMP2 class, as well as the GT World Challenge Europe, where they ran a Lexus RC F GT3.[2][3] Ultimate, a small outfit owned by brothers Jean-Baptiste and Matthieu Lahaye, also partnered Tech 1 for their LMP2 efforts in the ELMS in 2021 and the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2022.[4]
