Duqueine Team, formerly known as Duqueine Engineering, is a French sports car racing team founded in 2014. The team currently competes in the European Le Mans Series in LMP2. They previously operated Isotta Fraschini's Hypercar entry in the FIA World Endurance Championship. It is also active as a constructor under the Duqueine Automotive banner, notably creating the Duqueine D08 and Duqueine D09 LMP3 prototypes after buying out Norma Auto Concept in 2017.
The squad's origin dates back to 1976, when brothers Gilles and Vincent Duqueine began building single-seater race cars. Their company, Duqueine Group, currently manufactures composite parts for the aeronautics industry.
2026: Partnership with R-ace GP
In early 2026, Gilles Duqueine announced a strategic partnership with R-ace GP, which took over operational management of the squad's LMP2 programme. As part of the move, Duqueine Team relocated from its Alès base to R-ace GP's facilities in Fontenay-le-Comte, Vendée.
The team unveiled its line-up for the LMP2 Pro/Am category of the 2026 European Le Mans Series (ELMS) season: Italian bronze Giorgio Roda, Dutch Formula 2 driver Richard Verschoor, and French driver Doriane Pin, the 2025 F1 Academy champion and a Mercedes Formula 1 development driver. The crew finished 3rd in the opening round of the championship. That result was matched in the following round with another 3rd-place finish, putting Duqueine Team at the top of the LMP2 Pro/Am standings. In June 2026, the team took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the 7th time in its history. Pin and Verschoor were joined by Porsche factory driver Julien Andlauer aboard the No. 30 Oreca 07. Starting 6th in class, the car was in the LMP2 lead fight for nearly 20 hours, before a front-left brake failure ended its race.
