Leopard Racing made its debut at the Qatar GP in 2015. That season, the team's riders were Danny Kent, Efrén Vázquez, and Hiroki Ono. Danny Kent became world champion in the final race in Valencia. The team achieved 14 podiums, with 9 for Danny Kent and 5 for Efrén Vázquez. Joan Mir replaced the injured Hiroki Ono at the Australian GP.
For the 2016 season, Leopard Racing expanded into the Moto2 class with Danny Kent and Miguel Oliveira on Kalex bikes. Miguel Oliveira missed four races due to a collarbone injury sustained during qualifying for the Aragon GP. Alessandro Nocco substituted for Miguel Oliveira at the Australian and Malaysian Grands Prix. Miguel Oliveira finished the season one point shy of the best rookie of the year award.
In the Moto3 class for 2016, the team switched from Honda NSF250R to KTM RC250GP machinery. The riders were Joan Mir, Andrea Locatelli, and Fabio Quartararo. They secured five podium finishes, including a victory for Joan Mir at the Austrian GP. Joan Mir won the rookie of the year award, finishing fifth overall. Andrea Locatelli finished ninth, and Fabio Quartararo finished thirteenth in the overall classification.
In 2017, Leopard Racing returned to solely competing in the Moto3 category, using Honda motorcycles with riders Joan Mir and Livio Loi. Joan Mir secured the world championship title at the Australian GP. The 2018 season saw Enea Bastianini and Lorenzo Dalla Porta riding Honda NSF250R machines, each winning a Grand Prix, which led to the team finishing third in the standings. For 2019, Lorenzo Dalla Porta was joined by Marcos Ramírez after two seasons with KTM. Lorenzo Dalla Porta became the Moto3 champion, and Leopard Racing won the team classification with five victories that season.
In the 2020 World Championship, Leopard Racing entrusted Honda NSF250Rs to Dennis Foggia and Jaume Masiá, who finished sixth and tenth in the standings, respectively. Their combined points allowed the team to excel in the team ranking. In 2021, Dennis Foggia remained with the team and was joined by rookie Xavier Artigas. Dennis Foggia contended for the world title against Pedro Acosta on a KTM, but a crash during the Algarve GP, caused by contact with Darryn Binder and also involving Sergio García, ended his championship hopes. Xavier Artigas secured his first career victory at Valencia, with Dennis Foggia finishing as vice-champion and the team achieving third place in the team classification.
