About the team

Mayor Downard Racing Team (formerly MDR Motorsports prior to 2018) was setup at the back end of 2016 by Co-Founders Jack Mayor and Josh Downard. The teams original plans were only to compete in the Fs3 Series at Simleague.de, however they have since stretched the team to other leagues such as WCS League and GPVWC.

MDR Motorsports made an unusually late entry into the 2017 Formula Challenge campaign. After their original attempt to enter at the start of the season failed, it seemed their chances of a GPVWC Career Ladder debut in 2017 were gone. However, after an orignal team entry failed to enter either of the first two rounds of the championship, MDR Motorsports were given the opportunity to make their debut for round 3, and will continue till the end of the championship. Within days of the news that they will be on the grid for the Chinese Grand Prix, they had already signed two primary drivers to begin their 2017 GPVWC campaign with. The driver line-up consisted of Simracing veteran and 2014 Chinese Grand Prix winner Philipp König, and 2017 Formula Challenge rookie Konrad Bar. MDR Motorsports hope to make a strong impact on their debuting season, and its team owners are confident that their driver line-up is capable of reaching it's goals and aspirations. On the 10th of May, MDR Motorsports signed Tuomas Koriala as full time reserve driver for what was planned to be until the end of the year, However, in late June 2017, Tuomas announced he would be stepping down from the position after July. Late July, MDR announced that Koriala's Successor was to be Ryan Nash. On the 24th of Novemeber, MDR announced they had retained Konrad Bar for the 2018 championship in the reserve role.
