MMC Racing was founded during the Summer of 2003 by Matt Maple and Ryan McConkey. The team competed in the 2003, 2004, & 2005 seasons. It withdrew from F1VWC/GPVWC officially on July 18th, 2005.

The team was granted entry into the F1VWC in September 2003 by admin Andy Graydon. Since most teams had already completed deals for engines and sponsors, MMC was left with very limited choices. The team's first engine supplier in F1VWC was a sub-par Mugen-Honda powerplant. It was unfortunately around 55 bhp down compared to the top runners of the field.

MMC Racing in 2003

The team's very first entrance into the F1VWC/GPVWC foray was at the United States Grand Prix around the Indianapolis Motorspeedway, which just so happened to make it a home race for the newly formed MMC Racing team. The team failed to score any points in the grand prix, but it was a good learning experience for them.

The final grand prix of the season came at Suzuka and McConkey was able to secure 5th place on the grid. Sleight came in at 10th. McConkey was able to hold onto 7th in the end which gave the team it's very first points in only it's 2nd outing in the league. The future looked good.
