History
2014 season
The team's first season was highly remarkable, vastly exceeding owner Hilliard's expectations, even though at the end of the season the team slipped out of the top 10 in the standings. The team had a best result of 4th, twice, at the second races of the Malaysian and Chinese rounds; the latter represents the team's best overall result, with both cars finishing in the top 6. The team also picked up its first Fastest Lap, at the 2nd race of the Austrian round.
The team's drivers at the end of the season were German Sven Schubert and Pestovs, who joined the team from the United States and Austrian rounds onwards respectively. The team's original line-up was Dutchman Roy Verzijl, who scored most of the team's points but would leave to drive in the Supercup, and Portuguese driver Pedro Gomes, who retired from the league after the Monaco round due to increasing real-life commitments. Indian driver Sandeep Chodha made his league début driving for the team at Canada round, on a one-off appearance due to Pestovs not being available until June. Neither Schubert or Pestovs could take part in the Abu Dhabi and Tobias Olsson from Sweden and Belgium's Andreas Wauters filled in for the race.
Zedderick Racing ended up 11th in the championship, having scored 149 points.
2015 season
Zedderick announced the retention of Pestovs for a second season, although Sven Schubert left the team to drive in the Supercup. Ben Willis was brought in as Pestovs' teammate for 2015.
