The Auto GP grid becomes more and more crowded day after day. The groundbreaking racing series, which from April will give the drivers a chance to fight for a 1.200.000 euros prize money, welcomes its latest entry, the Spanish team EmiliodeVillota.com Motorsport, fielding two cars.

The outfit bears the name of his founder, a very prestigious name in Spain as Emilio De Villota was the first spanish F.1 driver of the modern era. Very good driver in the 70s, De Villota had his best season in 1977 when he was even able to finish the Spanish Gran Prix ahead of Emerson Fittipaldi, driving a private McLaren car. In 1980, he managed to win the British F.1 Championship.

Today, De Villota manages his team with knowledge and passion, helped in the management by his son Emilio Jr. (who is also the Technical Director of the team) and his daughter Isabel. That’s an example of a family business working very well, as the team clinched the Euroseries 3000 drivers’ title in 2009 with Will Bratt.
