About CRS Racing team


CRS Racing is a British motor racing team, formed in late 2007 by Chris Niarchos and Andrew Kirkaldy. The team hit the headlines almost immediately by winning the first British GT race of the 2008 season and went on to take the teams’ title. Championship victory in Formula Renault and race victories in the FIA GT Championship completed a very successful first year for the new team.

Chris and Andrew first met when they raced together in the British GT Championship. At that time Andrew was running a Formula Renault team and at the end of 2006 Chris joined him as a partner and ‘AKA Cobra’ was born. This partnership sowed the seeds for a much bigger undertaking and at the end of 2007 CRS Racing was formed to compete not only in Formula Renault but in the world of GT racing as well.

Formula Renault is an important part of the CRS family. In 2008 the hard work paid off and Adam Christodoulou took the team’s first driver’s title. In 2010 CRS will continue to nurture young drivers as they set out on their careers in single-seaters.

“We’re not just in this to take part,” said Niarchos. “We’re here to win races and championships and we have a team that is capable of getting the top results. We work our drivers hard and every single member of the team is constantly pushing to be the best in their field. We love what we do and we hope we provide a lot of entertainment along the way.”

CRS Racing’s Formula Renault team is now at full strength following the recent signing of Victor Correa. The 19 year-old Brazilian raced in the National Class of the British F3 International Series last year but is now looking to Formula Renault, with the new cars and the competitive grid, to continue his single-seater career.

“Formula Renault will be a good challenge for me,” said Correa. “The new car looks very interesting and it will be a good opportunity for me to show what I can do in an equal car. I chose CRS because I think it is the best team with a very good structure and I think that, as a team, we can fight for the championship. I think we will have a good year together and hope that we can go out there and compete for victories.”

“We are very happy to have signed Victor,” said Team Director Andrew Kirkaldy. “He is an experienced driver and with a new car it is good for the team to have that experience to help us move forward. We’ve been going well in pre-season testing so we are all feeling optimistic about the season ahead of us.”
