Team History

1992

GCR's first car

The Great Central Racing team was formed during the winter and our first car purchased ready for our first racing season, 1993.

In the following results summary, where a second result appears this signifies the GCR (2) performance and "n/c" indicates the race was not contested by GCR.

The BPCC (British Pedal Car Championship) points system was started in 1996.
