'''Globe Racing''' is a team currently racing in the [[Supercup]] series. It is managed by [[Kenney Lybeer]].

'''Red 5 Racing''' was first thought of back in 1992, where [[Wayne Mullins]] and [[Gavin Thomas]] were watching the skillful and determined way Nigel Mansell claimed the Formula 1 drivers championship that year. So a Dream was born, they raced each other on Microprose Formula 1 Simulator Games throughout the years until Gavin left for the RAF. Years later Gavin returned and both he and Wayne found the spirit of competition was still burning bright within them. They Moved onto ISI's [[rFactor]] and joined up with the [[GPVWC]], where Red 5 Racing finds itself today. The Team as a whole has grown to include Grand Prix Online, European Racing League and World Championship Simracing as series competed in. Wayne is now on a sabbatical after being banned from GPVWC and Gavin has taken up the reigns.

==2010==

The year started with Red 5 Racing having both a [[Superleague]] and [[Supercup]] Licence. Despite securing the highly competitive Renault engine for the Superleague the team folded amidst allegations of a rift between Thomas and Mullins, this was never confirmed. Thomas concentrated on the Supercup competition, bringing in talented German driver [[Christoph Lichtenstein]] to partner himself. The German proved a success taking an early championship lead. However, Lichtenstein then reneged on a contract to join Red 5's arch-nemesis, [[Draig Racing]], whom he drove for the rest of the season and claimed both the drivers and constructors crown. Not one to be deterred Thomas forged ahead claiming two podiums into the bargain. Red 5 finished 4th in the constructors.

Thomas is back behind the wheel this year, early reports stated that [[Chris Allen]] was due to take the other spot, but the former [[Allen GP]] Owner/Driver failed to make it to Melbourne with a suspected broken shoulder. In his stead Thomas sought out another Welshman, [[Ben Morgan]], who has surprised many in the Superleague with his lightening turn of pace. However, after 8 races Morgan has only scored 4 points,(all in Melbourne). He has recently left Red 5 Racing to concentrate on Superleague. An announcement is expected soon on a full time replacement, with Mark Stanton making a guest appearance in Silverstone. Red 5 Racing has just announced the signing of GPVWC Newcomer [[Alex Cooper]].
