History
2010
The team launched late in 2010 with their first ever entry in GPVWC competitions. The driver lineup was confirmed shortly after as being Chris Williamson and David Jundt and the team was full of optimism. This proved well founded as Jundt scored a double podium at the season opener at Laguna Seca and this was followed by several points finishes in the subsequent races. The highlight of the season however came at Snetterton where the team found themselves in an early 1-2, with Jundt pulling away to his and the team's first ever victory. In the latter half of the season points kept rolling in and enabled Nijo to secure 3rd place overall.
2011
With three car entries back in the series for 2011, the team opted for a lineup with Williamson being partnered by Ben Warren and Pavel Loknovski. With far bigger grids and points being much harder to obtain the season proved to be a much tougher one for the team. Despite a podium for Loknovski at Zolder and a pole at Watkins Glen, the Nijo could only manage to climb to 8th by the end of the season.
