Scuderia Stars are a virtual motor racing team that currently compete in IndyVirtual. They were formed at the start of 2018.

Background

After having a large interest in motor racing, Ahmed Cheema tookover CopaMundo, a team in IndyVirtual. He renamed the team Scuderia Stars. Mikko Heininen and Dino Palma will race for the team.

2018

Before the season began, the team signed Felix Beyer to race in the Triple Crown for the team. The team showed decent pace in testing, being regularly ahead of Lancashire Racing Team.

Over the first four races the team struggled, placing last before a break was taken from the series. Owners Star Sports pulled out after a disagreement with Cheema, and the team were set to fold, but a last minute deal saw Cheema buy the team, allowing them to complete the season.

Following the rebrand, results improves remarkably. Heininen, who had been under fire from the team, took a superb sixth in South Africa, while Palma took the team's first ever podium in their home V-Prix after an inspiring strategy call. Good results comtinued to come, with Heininen breaking into the top ten on four more occasions and both drivers regularly placing in the top 20. Beyer, after two horrific races, took pole in Calafornia and despite losing the lead to Nathaniel Powers, he wrestled it back in the closing stages and took the team's first win. By the end of the season they finished fifth.
