Nebula Grand Prix are a company based in Bristol, United Kingdom and are the junior single-seater operation for the Astro Racing Group. They race under a French license, due to the team being run by flamboyant Frenchman Jacques Couteau.

As the Astro Racing Group was formed, Nebula was assimilated into the company along with Fusion Motorsports and Pulsar Racing Team, and is the team that fronts Astro's interests in the more junior formulae. As Fusion originally had places within the F3RWRS and IFRC, Nebula took these over as part of a reshuffle that saw Fusion projected more as the higher-level racing interest.

History

Jacques Couteau had a vision to lead his own racing operation, and thus set up Nebula Grand Prix. The Frenchman had been a journeyman in running other peoples' F1 interests, but formed Nebula from scratch in Bristol where they were able to form a technical partnership with Airbus. However, due to the locality of his own operation to that of Fusion Motorsports, the two teams joined forces as Nebula were given the entries possessed by Fusion in RWRS-sanctioned competitions. Couteau and Fusion principal Jake Legge decided that, after the Fusion and Nebula tie-up, they would add an extra arm dealing more with sportscars. After Pulsar was born, it was placed in the same holding company as Fusion and Nebula.

Nebula were going to field Astro Racing Stars' Jiri Komárek and Jules Vergne in F3RWRS, with British driver Quentin Reatherson taking a single entry in IFRC. Subsequently, Nebula were granted two entries in the latter and thus Vergne moved across to partner Reatherson, whilst Argentinian Thiago Mazzacane was given the F3RWRS seat with Komárek after impressing at Fusion late in 2015.
