PHM Racing

PHM Racing (currently racing as AIX Racing in Formula 2 and Formula 3, and PHM AIX Racing in Formula Regional and Formula 4 for sponsorship reasons) is a German auto racing team. It started racing in 2022 after taking over Mücke Motorsport's Formula 4 assets. They later entered Formula Regional Middle East, FIA Formula 3 and FIA Formula 2, the latter two in collaboration with Charouz Racing System initially under the PHM Racing by Charouz banner. The F2 and F3 operations were again rebranded as AIX Racing in May 2024 after financial services firm AIX assumed ownership.

History


Born from the ashes of Mücke Motorsport's single-seater programme, which was disbanded at the end of 2021, PHM Racing was founded by Paul Müller with a squad mostly consisting of former Mücke personnel and the aim of being a non-profit organization. The team made its first step into racing in the Formula 4 UAE Championship in 2022, competing with Nikita Bedrin, Jonas Ried and Taylor Barnard. Following a campaign that yielded the team's first ever race win with Barnard and a further pair of victories brought by Bedrin, team owner Paul Müller announced that they would be stepping into the Italian and German F4 series.

The team entered Formula Regional Middle East for the 2023 winter season, before expanding into Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 with a partial takeover of Charouz Racing System. PHM assumed full control of the F2 and F3 teams' operations prior to the 2023 Yas Island Formula 2 round, and announced a new sponsorship deal with the Dubai-based AIX Investment Group that would see the team renamed PHM AIX Racing for 2024. AIX later completed acquisition of the F2 and F3 structures in May 2024.

At the eighth round of the 2024 FIA Formula 2 Championship in Imola, the team got their first podium with driver Joshua Dürksen finishing in third place in the feature race.
