History

Draig Racing has had a long and interesting history during its time at GPVWC.

2009/10

Draig Racing VBM was created in 2009. Co-Owner and founder Mike Phillis, had just taken over as Team Manager of a little known team called 'Maximum Racing'. With the bug of management, came the bug of wanting to own a team, so with some hard work, and some help from some friends, Phillis made Draig Racing a reality. Starting off in the Welsh Valley's town of Aberdare, Phillis took his team looking for drivers, painters and anyone else in between. The teams First outing was in 2010 at Jerez, their first outing as a proper outfit, it boasted the likes of Kieren Spencer and Ashley Walsh, pitting their time with the current GPVWC Superleague Champion. With competitive times, Phillis thought that this could be a rookie year to remember..... on one hand yes it was but on the other hand, it was one to forget.

With Drivers stepping down, the team became unstable in the GPVWC Superleague, with many drivers trying to take the team in the right direction, but failing to score points. In July Phil Perkins became partner in the team, and also became the stable driver, scoring podium in such a short time, and points in the first two races. Phil outscored all the other drivers who had decided to pass through the doors of Draig Racing.

2010, was the year for nurturing talent, Draig Racing also entered the GPVWC Supercup in its new format. Liam Hatchell, started from round 4 Abu Dhabi, who was later joined by Christoph Lichtenstein in round 5, after uncertainty on his future at Red5Racing. Between both drivers Draig Racing managed to secure the Constructors title, and Christoph winning the Drivers Championship, it was a double Celebration.

2011/12

The next two years were not as successful and triumphant as the previous two.
