The Speed Up team was founded in 2010 by former Italian rider Luca Boscoscuro to compete in the new Moto2 category.
In its first year, the team scored three victories with its S10 motorcycles, based on an FTR M210 chassis, ridden by Andrea Iannone et Gabor Talmacsi.
In 2011, the Speed Up team chose to participate in the Championship with FTR M211 chassis and entrusted them to Pol Espargarò et Valentine Debise.
In 2012, Speed Up joined the clan of manufacturers by fielding its own chassis, the S12, for the Speed Master teams (Iannone, Di Meglio and Andreozzi) and QMMF (Sucipto, Rosell), which allowed Andrea Iannone to win two races with the Italian chassis.
2013 saw the launch of the SF13 chassis, used by three teams, Forward Racing (Corsi, De Angelis, Pasini, Cardus), AGR (Odendaal, Moncayo) and QMMF (West, Sucipto), obtaining a podium with Simone Courses for the Forward NGM Mobile Racing.
In 2014, Team Speed Up debuted the new SF14 chassis by competing in the Moto2 World Championship with Sam Lowes, while still supplying the QMMF Racing team (West, Ramos).
The story continues in 2015 with Sam Lowes at Speed Up and West-Kallio/Simon at the QMMF, then in 2016 with Simone Courses at Speed Up and Simeon/Simon at the QMMF.
Finally, after the withdrawal of the QMMF team, 2017 sees Augusto Fernandez join Simone Courses who finished in 9th place in the championship under the Speed Up colors.
In 2018, two new young drivers join Team Speed Up Racing: fabio quartararo et Danny Kent.
It was in an interview published on the paper version of Motorsprint that Michel Turco gathered the team manager's point of view on his new French recruit...
Luca Boscoscuro : “Fabio has great talent, he is strong and he has everything he needs to emerge. It's just that he hasn't yet managed to express this talent. Maybe because of external factors but also his fault: in fact, the first thing I told him was that he needs to think to understand where it went wrong, he needs to reorganize his thoughts and learn of his mistakes. He is very young and making mistakes is normal: the important thing is to understand how to avoid repeating them. For example, it was a mistake to change teams so often, to race every season in a new team: by doing like that you don't find stability, because you have to integrate into a team, you have to trust your technicians and have them trust you. If you change every year, you can't build trusting relationships. And then, even changing motorbikes every year is a problem.
With my team, I want to help it grow. This is our challenge. My team is still the same because we are a unique group that has merged over the years. And we can give this to Fabio: our cohesion, our experience, a friendly atmosphere in which he can express himself. When we decided to run together, I told him: we must work together to achieve the same goal. It seems to me that he understood.
The Moto2 championship is not as easy as you might think, just look at the efforts that Alex Márquez, Moto3 world champion, has to make. Just look at the riders he has produced in recent years: Marc Márquez, Vinales, Zarco, Ianonne, Rins and Morbidelli. It's a very demanding category because the level is high, and in qualifying to find twenty drivers in one second: that means a lot. The racing pace is also very high. In a category like this, where testing sessions are short, trust in your team and in the technical manager is essential to make the right choices regarding settings. Fabio can and must fight to win. »
