BCN Competicion
Encyclopedia
Ocean Racing Technology (ORT) is a racing team that takes part in both the GP2 Main Series and the GP2 Asia Series Championships. The team, owned by Tiago Monteiro and José Guedes, was formed at the end of the 2008 season after being purchased from BCN, a team which never enjoyed much success in GP2 (two podiums in four years). The driver and the entrepreneur created a structure based on recognized professionals and quickly started to secure first-class results, making it possible for the Portuguese Racing team to fight with the more advanced teams in the FIA accredited championship that is the main feeder series for Formula One.
While BCN was the only GP2 team that had yet to win a race (contributing factors being BCN Competición's frequent use of a rotating selection of paying drivers), the change to ORT meant a full transformation (the team kept only the frames, discarding all the rest, and hiring new staff). In their first year in GP2, Álvaro Parente
won the first race for the team at the 2009 Belgian GP2 Feature Race
, in a round where he also got pole position and fastest lap.
with Andrea Belicchi
and Carlos Martin as drivers.
In 2003 and 2004, BCN raced in International Formula 3000/GP2 Series
, finishing as runner-up in both the drivers and teams championships in 2004.
In 2005-06
, the team was involved in the new A1 Grand Prix
series managing the A1 Team South Africa
car, however DAMS took over the team for 2006-07
.
For 2003, BCN stepped up to International Formula 3000. In their first year on that series, they was known as a rent-a-drive team due to high number of drivers who passed by team that year (drivers such as Will Langhorne
, Alessandro Piccolo
, Ferdinando Monfardini
and Rob Nguyen
). This year, it had many financial difficulties and virtually did not have a big sponsor.
In 2004, the situation got better - the team ran veteran driver Enrico Toccacelo
alongside Argentine youngster Esteban Guerrieri
. With the same drivers throughout the year, the team found the pace to reach second place in the Teams' Championiship, with 84 points (56 from Toccacelo and 28 from Guerrieri) just behind the Arden International
team.
BCN was considered a threat for the new GP2 Series
, alongside other top teams like Super Nova Racing
and Arden. In 2005, the team hired Venezuelan star Ernesto Viso
and Japanese Hiroki Yoshimoto
, anticipating at least, some victories and many points. However, compared to the previous year, 2005 was a great disappointment. BCN could not threaten teams like Arden and ART Grand Prix
. The team ended the year with 35 points and 9th place in the Teams' Championiship.
In 2006, Scalabroni's team continued as a midfield team, scoring points occasionally. Yoshimoto continued with the team, first paired with Timo Glock
(who brought DHL
as sponsor), but the German driver was not comfortable with the team and moved to iSport International
at mid-season. Glock's place was filled by Luca Filippi
. The team again finished 9th in the Teams' Championship, with 22 points.
For 2007 BCN hired a pair of young Asian talents - Super Aguri F1
test driver Sakon Yamamoto
and 2006 German F3 Cup champion Ho-Pin Tung
. When Yamamoto stepped up to F1, his place was taken by Finnish driver Markus Niemelä
. However, the team was unsuccessful, scoring just four points all year. 2008
was little better, with a succession of drivers competing for the team amidst reported financial troubles. A fourth place for Adrián Vallés
at Monaco was the only points-scoring run.
BCN Competición was bought by the Portuguese former F1 (and current WTCC
) driver Tiago Monteiro
and José Guedes in November 2008, in a move that relocated the team to the Algarve
circuit, being renamed Ocean Racing Technology (ORT). Yelmer Buurman
and Fabrizio Crestani
drove for the team in the 2008-09 GP2 Asia Series season
, replacing BCN drivers Yoshimoto and Luca Filippi
who competed in the first round of the championship..
In the 2009 GP2 main season, drivers were Álvaro Parente
and Karun Chandhok. Parente scored the team's first win in the Spa-Francorchamps round and was 8th in the final Championship standings. ORT finished the Teams' Championship in 9th, but only two points behind 5th place finisher iSport International
.
While BCN was the only GP2 team that had yet to win a race (contributing factors being BCN Competición's frequent use of a rotating selection of paying drivers), the change to ORT meant a full transformation (the team kept only the frames, discarding all the rest, and hiring new staff).
