MRD Racing

MRD Racing are a team in FF1M. They were formed shortly before the 1999 FF1M Season by Marc Downie. The team are currently competing in their third season with drivers Jarno Trulli and rookie Felipe Massa.

History

Shortly before the 1999 season MRD laid the foundations for their team by signing Repsol to fund their assault on FF1M. They began the 1999 season with Bruno Junqueira and Nick Heidfeld, however, by the second race in Brazil, Junqueira had been replaced by impressive rookie and FF2M champ Jarno Trulli. Trulli promptly went on to 5 victories and the FF1M Drivers title.

The 2000 season began with a lot of promise. A big money deal with drinks giant Red Bull and 3-time champ Fernando Alonso at the wheel. The team did not live up to the hype as a lack of reliability ruined any chance of their drivers claiming the title despite the team improving in the Constructors championship.

The team are now looking to better fortunes in 2001 as Jarno Trulli returns as a 2-time champion supported by rookie Felipe Massa
