Marc VDS Racing Team

Kronos Racing will split from Marc VDS for the first time at TORA, and partner with Peugeot UK, for the MSA TORA Spec Cup, utilising Kronos Racing's favourite car - The Peugeot 207 S2000.

Kronos Racing had huge success with the Citroen Xsara in the WRC from 2004 to 2007, with drivers such as Seb Loeb at the wheel, and the late great Colin McRae taking his last few races of his career in 2006.

The Marc VDS 1M Coupe first seen in TCC Season 7 has now been put to good use in the TEC. Driven by Takum1 Fujiwara, Standaman94 and XXX Skyrocket, the 1M has been rebadged and refurbished for the remaining rounds of the TEC.

The team landed with a 2nd-to-last qualifying position - less than ideal, admittedly - but spirits are still high in the garage. Unfortunately the team missed out on using the Z4 GT3, but the car should see a comeback in December in...

ISCC and the BG McLaren Cup are now in full swing after the first rounds at Sebring and Silverstone respectively. It's going to be a long season for both series, with the alternating calendar taking the final round all the up to November. Testing is underway for the next round of the ISCC and McLaren Cup, at Road America and Hockenheim respectively.

Marc VDS has entered six cars into the ISCC season. Three of which are the iconic BMW Z4 GT3s currently racing...

Marc VDS are back once again for the second round of the TEC. After an eventful 12 hours at Sebring, the LMP and GT teams have crossed the Atlantic for the Le Mans 24 Hours.

New drivers take the helm of the Ford GT and Lola Aston this time. MotoYeti and LMR BlackHawk will be joining Mandown46 and XXX Skyrocket in the Ford, while Sbiggs joins Standaman94, xVampirAx and Takum1 Fujiwara [formerly x A Senna x] in the Aston.

The biggest change you...

Marc VDS is proud to announce our latest lineup at TORA!

While the news may be a little late, Marc VDS is spreading it's big cat wings over a range of TORA series, and across all the major classes you'll find at them.

After Nurbracer paired with Marc VDS last year for the ISCC America, and won the Team Championship in GTC, Marc VDS had decided to anchor down and stay at TORA for the long run. In the mean time, Nurbracer unfortunately dissolved;...

Just a brief announcement before we showcase our 2013 Q1-2 schedule.

This week Marc VDS launched their brand new livery for their brand new BMW Z4 GT3 which they will be using in the Blancpain Endurance Series this year. Harking back to the original liveries used on their cars, the new livery takes the 2012 design and adds the bonnet design of 2011, which originated from the Ford GT in 2010 and fits the Z4 very well.

As well as making some new shapes, the Z4 presents some new sponsors for 2013.

After almost three solid years, it is sad to announce that Nurbracer have parted ways.

March 2010 saw the the founding of the Nurburgring fan group, with weekly themed endurance races around the Ring. We created a website, during which the shift lost us some members. After a year or so we then moved to a new website, losing more members.

In 2012 we started racing at TORA, and thus evolved Team Nurbracer. However, the Nurbracer website crashed, losing all data, and since then all interest in the club deteriorated to nil.

As such, what remains of Nurbracer at TORA,...

Thanks to Nurbracer and the TORA community, Marc VDS returns for the tenth season of the epic TORA GT World Championship.

With the unexpected success of the ISCC, Marc VDS agreed to supply Nurbracer with eight cars. As with ISCC, Nurbracer will be driving four BMW Z4 GT3s, and thus will be a Works team competing the GT3 Endurance Championship.

Subsequently, 2013 will see the return of the four iconic Matech Ford GT GT1s, supplied to Marc VDS in 2010, completely refitted to fit into the TORA GT3 homologation specifications. The cars were last driven in 2011 by Marc VDS and...

Just a quick heads up this time, to those interested.


N8 is finally over, as is the TEC. I can't say we're overly pleased with the result, but we did the best we could. Unfortunately, of our three cars, only one drove to the 8 hour mark. The Scion did not start the race, much to the disappointment of our drivers and their sponsor, EE. This was mainly due to a serious electrical fault found only a few hours before the green flag; as best as we could try to fix it, we and the...

Nurbracer took Marc VDS to victory in the ISCC America 2012. Blackbird, Stan and Mandown drove the three GT3-sanctioned Z4s supplied by Marc VDS, and although Marc VDS narrowly missed a win in the recent BEC, Nurbracer managed to hold the line and take the GTC Teams Championship title.

Will Marc VDS continue their ISCC triumph? Will they expand to further series? Time shall tell, but for now Nurbracer's efforts are solely on the upcoming Nurb 8hrs in December.

We...

A lot has been happening at Nurbracer in the past month or so, and a lot more is yet to come. First came our partnership with Forza Nation Magazine, who has been following our efforts in the TORA Britcar 24 Hours. You can read all about it in the latest issue, which is planned to...

After Marc VDS' slightly disappointing result at Nurburgring in the BEC, Nurbracer got our hands on the two cars with updated paint schemes, the #3 (#94 in ISCC) Z4 being changed the most.

Marc VDS are currently 2st in the BEC team standings, just two points down from Belgian Audi Club Team WRT after the previous round, however all three drivers of the #3 car hold all three spots on the podium in the driver's standings.

The team hope to secure victory this weekend at Navarra, Spain, for the final round.

Meanwhile, names and numbers have been swapped for Nurbracer's...

Despite being somewhat old news, Nurbracer are proud to announce that we are entering the TORA Britcar 24hrs at Silverstone. We've been lucky enough to be sent two cars from Aston Martin Racing, which we have treated as our own. They now don an updated version of our livery, specially made for this event.

While we haven't been able to fill both cars, we're very happy with the drivers we already have;

Car #93

Albeit it a slightly belated annoucment, the Nurbracer crews have been hard at work developing and testing the V12 Aston Martins for the Upcoming Britcar, we still found time to respond to a request made to us.

Early in August this year, Team Nurbracer were approached by Umbrella Corporation, who were looking to invest money in advertising, and sponsoring a race car. Nurbracer duly agreed to assist them.
When the Porsche Supercup was announced, all parties felt that this was the right opportunity, a short series, but with excellent global following.

As such Team Nurbracer's...
