2013 season
For the first season, William Ingram hired Diego Campos, Jonas Phipps and Edgardo Agretha as the team's first, second and third driver respectively. Phipps lost his seat to Franklin test driver Enrique Ruiz. Ruiz himself was recalled to the main team, meaning Agretha could make his debut at the last race of the season.
Ingram struggled for much of 2013, their first points not coming until the US V-Prix, the seventh of the campaign. Every other team had scored points by the second round. Unsurprisingly they finished the season in 11th place, only ahead of BMW Zyla who were disqualified and had all their points taken away. Consistently qualifying at the back of the grid made the race for points harder. Campos' points at the US and Belgian V-Prixs were thanks, in part, to the rain. However, in the hands of Enrique Ruiz, the team brought home points in three more races, thanks to Ruiz's ability to qualify the car well up the field.

Partnership with Franklin
Following BMW's initial withdrawal from the sport, Ingram needed to find a new engine supplier. Contact was made with Franklin team boss Jamie Franklin, and a technical partnership was announced. Ingram would take Honda engines for 2014 and make use of Franklin's facilities. Enrique Ruiz subsequently made the move to Ingram for three races towards the end of 2013, before being recalled to the main team. Franklin paid Ingram £1m for Ruiz to move and then return.
2014 season
The team retained Diego Campos for 2014, Jonas Phipps moved to Lucas and Edgardo Agretha was released and failed to find a seat elsewhere. Rookies Nikolai Milkovich and Arden Hutchinson took the second driver and test driver seats respectively. The team replaced BMW with Honda, thanks to their partnership with Franklin. The team chose 37 and 38 for their career numbers.
The season started more strongly than 2013, Milkovich scoring points in two of the first three rounds.
