Invicta partnered with the Virtuosi Racing Formula 2 team in 2023, during which the British outfit competed as Invicta Virtuosi Racing. The Invicta brand enjoyed three F2 victories and two further podium finishes in their debut season thanks to Jack Doohan, son of five-time 500cc Grand Prix motorcycle world champion Mick Doohan.
Team Ownership
The team was rebranded as Invicta Racing in 2024 after Invicta had purchased an ownership stake. In the same year, the younger Doohan was also confirmed for a 2025 Formula One race seat with the Alpine F1 Team. In addition to sponsoring and now owning a race team, Invicta has also been a personal sponsor of American-Ecuadorian F2 driver Juan Manuel Correa.
Invicta Racing and Juan Manuel Correa
To commemorate their involvement in Formula 2, Invicta has released a large number of automatic and quartz Invicta Racing-branded timepieces in a variety of styles. As a personal sponsor of Correa, Invicta has released the JM Correa line as well. Also worth mentioning is their Formula One-inspired S1 Rally line, first announced in 2018.
