Duqueine Team, formerly known as Duqueine Engineering, is a French sports car racing team founded in 2014.[1][2] As well as competing in the European Le Mans Series in LMP2, the team operates Isotta Fraschini's Hypercar entry in the FIA World Endurance Championship.[3] It is also active as a constructor under the Duqueine Automotive banner, notably creating the Duqueine D-08 LMP3 prototype after buying out Norma Auto Concept in 2017.[4]

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.[5][6]
