The iSport GP2 team has been purchased by Russian investors, and will now be known as "Russian Time".

Created in 2004, iSport International has made its debuts in GP2 in 2005, claiming third place in drivers' championship with American Scott Speed.

In 2007, the team won both the drivers' championship with Timo Glock, as well as the teams' championship.

In 2012, iSport ran Marcus Ericsson (8th) and Jolyon Palmer (11th).

Team Russian Time, backed by a group of Russian investors as the name suggests, will be based in Germany, and will represent the first Russian team in GP2.

Frenchman Tom Dillmann, who emerged quickest in the collective tests in Jerez, is set to take part to the three days of testing in Barcelona (from March 5 to 7) with Russian Time, which could hire him for the whole 2013 season.
