DXR FORMULA TEAM / 2027

"THE START OF SOMETHING BIGGER"

A driver development project for international single-seaters, from the final karting season to Formula 1.

Built season by season.

DXR Formula Team grew out of a long-term collaboration with Drivex, from Spanish F4 support to a complete international single-seater project.

Learn the car. Understand the data. Repeat the work.

One performance product.

DXR's race simulation and engineering structure is built around three operating locations: Monaco, Lurcy-Levis and Toulouse. The objective is a single integrated performance product, bringing together precise technical data and driver-performance data.

Race Group founder Cedric Mazenq and Sebastien Chardonnet first worked together during Sebastien's Citroen racing period. That relationship is now reunited around engineering and driver development.

  • Monaco

    Race simulation analysis and driver training, alongside the team's administrative base.

  • Lurcy-Levis

    The private test track: on-track validation of everything worked on in simulation.

  • Toulouse

    Race Group HQ, the base for DXR's race engineers, driver and data analysis.

Engineering partner

Race Group

French motorsport engineering expertise in Formula 4, driver training, data and simulation. DXR race engineers work in partnership with the Race Group team.

  • Race engineering
  • Data analysis
  • Driver analysis
  • Trackside performance
Simulation partner

Sector One

DXR's specialist partner for race simulation, based in Monaco. Its simulators were created together with Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly and support the team's driver preparation work off track.

  • Race simulation
  • Circuit modelling
  • Simulator development
  • Driver preparation

Sector One AMS, the driver performance operating system

One platform, six pillars: track, simulator, theory, mental, physical and race-week organisation. Every specialist writes into the same driver record, with a single readiness picture shared through one controlled-access login for driver managers, parents, coaches, the team and performance staff.
