The client

PREMA Racing is a premier Italian motorsport team.

Founded in 1983 and with over 80 championship titles, has a long-standing reputation for excellence in junior single-seater racing and plays a key role in developing the next generation of Formula 1 talent. 

The challenge

Modern racing runs on data, from telemetry and engineering analysis to logistics and trackside operations. Protecting that data, and keeping it available when it matters most, is now part of how a competitive team performs.  

With race weekends being such a critical moment for the team, it’s crucial to ensure reliability and security throughout the weekend.  

The solution

We’re proud to provide on-site IT support to PREMA Racing during the FIA Formula 2 and Formula 3 race weekends. 

The collaboration kicked off at the 2025 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, extending to the 2026 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and a return to Silverstone in 2027, further solidifying our role in enabling elite motorsport performance through robust IT infrastructure and protection. 

As a trusted UK-based managed service provider and official Acronis Delivery Partner, we deliver and manage advanced cyber protection solutions – including Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, Advanced Backup, Advanced Management, and Advanced Security – to support PREMA’s operations trackside. 

“A year on, this partnership has proven its value… Arc gives us the confidence to focus entirely on the track, knowing our systems are secure and our operations are protected throughout the weekend.”

The results

We’re very proud to support PREMA Racing as their local IT partner. Together with Acronis, our focus is on delivering robust and proactive protection to keep operations running smoothly throughout the race weekend. 

After a successful first season together, it reinforces something we believe strongly: that keeping a team’s data and IT systems secure under the pressure of a live race weekend is a shared responsibility, and one we’re honoured to take on. 

Stephen Mitas, CEO and Team Principal, PREMA Racing, said: “A year on, this partnership has proven its value. Reliable data protection is no longer a back office concern, it is part of any high-performing racing team. Returning to Silverstone with Acronis and Arc gives us the confidence to focus entirely on the track, knowing our systems are secure and our operations are protected throughout the weekend.”
