[1] Hilmer joined the GP3 Series in 2014 with support from Force India, replacing the Russian Time entry after the outfit pulled out after the death of founder Igor Mazepa in February 2014.

Franz Hilmer is the owner of the company Formtech GmbH, which, among other things, works as a supplier to Formula 1 teams in motorsport.

After three more race weekends, Frijns was replaced in Hungary by Adrian Quaife-Hobbs, who had previously competed for MP Motorsport the season.

At the end of the season, Hilmer Motorsport had scored 155 points and was in sixth place in the team standings.

In November 2013, Hilmer announced Daniel Abt, who previously drove for ART Grand Prix in the GP2 series, as the first driver for the 2014 season.

In the sprint race in Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, Abt was on pole position and crossed the finish line in fifth place.

At the final round of the season, Nicholas Latifi replaced Abt, who was competing in Formula E due to a scheduling conflict.

Hilmer Motorsport elected to miss the Bahrain round as they were unable to acquire the services of a driver who could bring financial backing to the team.
