Chaboud and Pozzi were established prewar and postwar racing figures who frequently entered events under their own individual names rather than the Ecurie Lutetia banner. Between 1948 and 1949, the team entered twelve Grands Prix held in France and Italy, fielding drivers Eugène Chaboud, Charles Pozzi, and Pierre Meyrat. Their best results during this period came at the 1949 Salon Grand Prix, where they recorded a third and a fourth place.
The team's machinery was primarily Talbot-Lago, the French manufacturer that had returned to racing after the Second World War with its T26C Grand Prix car.
Ecurie Lutetia's first entry in the newly formed Formula One World Championship came at the 1950 Belgian Grand Prix, the second round of the championship. Chaboud drove a Talbot-Lago T26C-DA — the twin-plug variant of the T26C — and qualified eleventh. He retired from the race after completing 22 of 35 laps when an oil pipe was damaged.
Less than a week after the Belgian Grand Prix, Ecurie Lutetia entered the 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans with two Delahaye 175S cars, modified variants of the 175 sports car. Charles Pozzi and Pierre Flahaut shared one entry; Gaston Serraud and André Guelfi were assigned the second. The Serraud/Guelfi car was unable to take the start due to a faulty battery. The Pozzi/Flahaut entry ran until the fifteenth hour of the race, when it was disqualified — a water leak was among the car's difficulties during the run, though the precise grounds for the disqualification are not preserved in detail.
The following month, Ecurie Lutetia made its second World Championship appearance at the French Grand Prix. Chaboud qualified in a standard Talbot-Lago T26C — not the twin-plug DA variant used in Belgium — and was entered tenth on the grid. He did not start under his own entry. Instead, he took over the car of Philippe Étancelin mid-race and the pair shared the drive to finish fifth. The single World Championship point awarded for fifth place was credited to Étancelin's entry rather than to Ecurie Lutetia as constructor, meaning the team scored zero constructors' championship points despite the finish.
Ecurie Lutetia's activity in the 1950 season represents one of the early examples of French independent team participation in the Formula One World Championship. The team operated at the margins of the championship's founding year, with machinery and results that reflected the resource constraints facing non-factory French entries against the dominant Alfa Romeo works operation of that era. The team did not continue in Formula One beyond 1950.
