Team Rojo is a Mexican motorsport team based on Leamington Spa, England. The team was founded by former Mexican racing driver Adrián Rojo Fernández in 2015.
History
Team Rojo was founded in 2015 by former Mexican racing driver Adrián Rojo Fernández. Rojo Fernández retired from motorsport in 2012 after two seasons in IndyCar. He didn't want to retire from motorsport, so he acquired a domestic NASCAR Toyota Series team, naming it Rojo Racing. The team wasn't successful, so at the end of 2014 season, he sold it to a group of Mexican investors. With the money he earned, he aimed to founding an international motorsport team.
He managed to get some important Mexican sponsors such as Banamex and Mexico Tourism Board, and alongside Japanese businessman Hiroji Miyata, he founded Team Rojo in early 2015. He moved to Leamington Spa, England and started working in the team's development.
In February 2015, Rojo Fernández signed Pablo Galaz as racing driver and put him to practice in an old Dallara F307 he bought from a British Formula Three team. Later that year, he attempted, unsuccessfully, to enter to the 2015 Rejects of LFS season in round 2.
