Vatel Racing

Vatel Racing better known as VR1, is a professional motorsport team founded by Henry Vatel in 2019. Built on bold ideas and precision engineering, we specialize in technical innovation, testing, and advanced motorsport design and development. From exotic materials to next-generation battery systems and a proprietary form of fusion energy, we’re redefining what’s possible in aero and thermal dynamics. Our expertise in low-volume manufacturing spans across automotive, aerospace, and sports science — wherever performance meets innovation. At our core, we are technologists and racers with underdog grit — committed to breaking boundaries and building a new era in motorsport. Our ambition is clear: to compete at the pinnacle of endurance racing in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) and IMSA, and ultimately take our place on the grid in Formula 1. This is more than racing. This is reinvention. #PerfectingPerfection | #VatelRacing
