History[]
On February 27, 2009, Nismo announced a partnership with British racing team Gigawave Motorsports to enter a GT-R in four races in the 2009 FIA GT Championship season. The entry did not compete for championship points but was used by Nismo to refine the performance of the GT-R for future customer teams to use the car in the planned FIA GT1 World Championship in 2010. Nismo driver Michael Krumm and Gigawave driver Darren Turner would co-drive the GT1 GT-R. The Sumo Power GT-R won the 2010 RAC Tourist Trophy at Silverstone Circuit as part of the FIA GT1 World Championship on May 2, 2010.
The 2011 season saw Swiss Racing Team switch to Lamborghini which left Sumo Power running four GT-Rs, two under the Sumo Power GT name and two under JR Motorsports. JR Motorsports with drivers Michael Krumm and Lucas Luhr won the Drivers Championship in the 2011 season, achieving 3 wins and 1 pole position in 10 races. The team got second place in the teams' championship, as in the last race the No.23 car retired due to a crash and the No.22 car served a penalty while leading the race and finished in 8th position. End of the race the team was just behind by 3 points than the team's champions.
