Henri Racing Team

The Henri Racing Team was founded in late 2015 by Jean-Phillipe Henri and his sons Agnes and Marc in the town of Snow Shoe, Pennsylvania. Jean ran a few teams in the past outside of the canon racing series, including Ferrari's factory outfit in the non-canon Women's GT World Championship, so he had some experience in the running a team field. His dedication to racing was shown when he founded his own team with his sons, originally Henri Racing Technologies, which the team continues to run by that name in some racing series.

RTSS

The team was founded in November 2015, by Jean-Phillipe, Agnes, and Marc Henri. The first racing series that the team originally came about to compete seriously was the RejecTrucks Super Series with Jukka-Pekka Kankaanpää, an up and coming Finnish teenager, driving the #42 truck. This would be the first announcement at a serious racing effort by the team.

The team showed up for the first RTSS race at the Adelaide Street Circuit, where the #42 qualified in 17th place. This was Kankaanpää's first big race, so the team didn't expect too much out of qualifying. On race day, the team started to make up positions as around a third of the field suffered from black flags for pit lane infringements. The truck had to avoid several incidents, and Kankaanpää found himself in 6th position about two thirds of the way through the race. But, to the disgruntled team, their truck became one of the many with a lot of damage after a few incidents, plus a black flag, one of the many victims of pit lane speeding penalties on that day in March. The team would not finish.

Round 2 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez would see the truck qualify 17th again, and the race was a procession, and the team finished lowly again, amongst some growing concerns at the Henri camp. Jean-Phillipe, despite being new to owning his own team, was starting to get a little frustrated with qualifying pace ruining any shot at the race win. Race 3 at was worse. The team finished a low 16th after starting 22nd. However, the team saw that they had one of the top ten fastest laps in the race at one point, so they saw no reason to worry as of yet. Round 4 at Kawartha Speedway would prove to be their best finish yet, as Kankaanpää qualified below 20th place again, but through caution flags, chaos, and clean driving, as well as restarting on the front row as a lapped truck, he managed to crawl his way up to 11th by races end, just one position away from points, and only the second truck one lap down.

F1RSTC

The team after their first races in RTSS ebtered the F1 Rejects Super Touring Cup. The team entered 2 BMW M3 E30 cars, one driven by Kankaanpää, and the other driven by another teenager, 19 year-old Clément Grandmaison, driving cars #42 and #43 respectively.

At the first round of the championship at the Spa Superprix at Spa-Franchorchamps, the cars qualified 16th and 22nd, Kankaanpää ahead of Grandmaison. Grandmaison would retire after only 6 laps thanks to mechanical problems, but Kankaanpää used good luck and pace to give the drivers in front of him a taste of his quick pace, and would finish just a few tenths away from a podium in 4th place. The team were ecstatic after the race, and were sure not disappointed. The team were happy that the M3 was on the race pace at Spa, as there were more slower circuit ahead where the M3 would really benefit from the high amount of cornering and agility. The team had good reasons to look ahead brightly.

Porsche Reject Cup

The team entered the Porsche Reject Cup with the same driver lineup, for the sake of giving the drivers more seat time in touring cars and GT cars. The drivers would miss rounds 5 and 6 of the PRC to drive in F1RSTC, giving seats to Laura Hamilton and Kim Sung Ri. Round 1 was hosted at Oulton Park, where out of 44 cars, the 2 Henri cars would qualify 41st and 43rd. The cars weren't able to pass many people, mostly when people in front of the cars made mistakes, and as a result were usually just ahead of the leading trio and always on the brink of being lapped. They finished in 37th and 39th, Kankaanpaa ahead of Grandmaison.

RRT

The team also made an appearance in the Reject Rally Trophy. The team actually applied for the works team at Russian car company Lada. The team may not have had any past experiences of note, but they considered who would be best to apply for. In the end, it was Lada, not only for the cars, as the team felt they'd thrive with the Granta RRT car, but it would be a good working relationship. In the end, the spot went to Restov Racing. The team would buy Lada cars anyway to run as a privateer, one of the drivers being Jean-Phillipe's son Agnes.

ACO Le Mans Cup

The team found some good cash on hand, and with good facilities in Snow Shoe, the team began the entry process for the 2017 ACO Le Mans Cup. They applied for the Porsche factory team, as the team would have had a good amount of experience in touring cars. The team was a main contender, but the team eventually lost out to Swiss-based squad BOSS Automation. The team entered 2 LMP2 Oreca 05 cars with Nissan engines, and managed to entice real-life Australian driver Mark Webber to drive the #43 car. The team hoped to contend for the championship in it's maiden season, and the Oreca-Nissan combo is thought to be strong, as it was also selected by other teams. Kankaanpaa and Grandmaison would join Webber in the 43 car, while only 2 drivers were confirmed for the #42 car, that being Micronesian driver Jayleen Mori and German driver Carsten Jancker.
