Lucas Oil Confirms 2022 Support for DAMS F2 Racing Team

the French F2 racing team DAMS

(23rd February, 2022) – 

Lucas Oil and the French F2 racing team DAMS will continue their partnership throughout the 2022 season.

The deal was confirmed shortly after former F1 racing driver Christopher Pic signed an agreement to take control of one of F2’s most successful motor racing teams. DAMS has won 15 driver championships, 16 team championships and accumulated 168 wins.

In his second season with the team, the Williams Test Driver Roy Nissany (Israel) will drive the #16 car. He will be paired with Ayumu Iwasa (Japan) in the #17 car, who takes the step up from F3 racing. The two cars will be prepared for each race using a selection of products from the Lucas Oil range.

Each race in the 14-round competition supports a Formula 1 weekend with a 45 minute Sprint Race on Saturdays and a 60-minute Feature Race on Sundays.

All of the F2 cars are based on a Dallara chassis, powered by Mecachrome engines and race on Pirelli tyres. Winning is all about set-up, strategy and driving skills.

Dan Morgan, director of sales and operations for Lucas Oil Products (UK) says:

“The Lucas Oil brand has a reputation for high performance under extreme conditions. I’m delighted to be able to continue our F2 partnership with the DAMS team, now under the guidance of Christopher Pic. We are all looking forward to some exciting racing.”

The F2 season starts in Sakhir, Bahrain (18-20 March 2022).
