Optimum Motorsport is an English GPVWC constructor who have secured entry in the the 2012 Formula Challenge season.

Optimum Motorsport was founded on 23rd December 2011 in preperation for a 24Hr Endurance Race. There was only 3 members at first, Jonatan Acerclinth, Jonathan Motteram and Bradley Vanian. All 3 drivers had interests in touring car racing aswell as Endurance Racing so the team entered into many Touring Car Leagues. In doing so, the team expanded. As the team grew bigger, the commitment increased. Recently, the team has had some great results in the world's biggest Touring Car Leagues aswell as a large amount of publicity around the SimRacing Community.

In August 2012, the team ventured into Open Wheel racing by applying for the GPVWC 2012 Formula Challenge.

2012 Formula Challenge season

Optimum Motorsport's first adventure of Open Wheel Racing was in the 2012 Formula Challenge Season. The team fielded Bradley Vanian and Alejandro Fernandez as drivers for the final 4 rounds of the season to prepare the team for 2013 which the team plan to enter on a full-time basis.

The opening round for the team was at Mondello Park and with some help from Jonatan Acerclinth, the team had a strong setup which gave both drivers a great sum of points on their debut. Bradley got a Top 10 finish in the Feature Race and Alejandro managed to get a double points finish.

The next round was at Charade and again, Bradley got a Top 10, meanwhile Alejandro got a double points finish again. Unluckily for the team, neither could capitalize on the reverse grid for the Sprint Race due to accidents.
