Nijo Racing

Nijo Racing is a team owned by Chris Williamson and is based in Nantwich, UK.

Building on experience in various leagues and having raced with established GPVWC teams such as ST Racing and PB Racing, Chris Williamson founded Nijo Racing in late 2010. The team initially entered the league by securing a place in the 2010 Masters series with a driver lineup comprising of Williamson and David Jundt. Within just a few rounds, both drivers had already tasted success including a podium in the team's debut race and a victory at the Snetterton circuit. The team went on to secure 3rd place overall in the constructor's championship.

On the back of a successful Masters campaign, the team decided to expand their operations and secured places in both the GPVWC Superleague and Supercup competitions in 2011. The Superleague team managed to secure a supply of Toyota engines as well as the services of Tom Parker, Ashley Walsh, Abdel Damghi and Ben Warren who have all competed at various stages of the season. The Supercup team is comprised of the Masters lineup of Jundt and Williamson. Nijo Racing cars in both series run in the team's customary green and white liveries.

Although the team is based in Britain, it has it's origins in Japan, where team founder Chris Williamson started his career as a simracer. Indeed the team takes it's name from the Japanese name Nijo (二条 - pronouced Nee-jo) which is a reference a part of the city of Kyoto.

At GPVWC Nijo Racing have entered teams in the SuperLeague, SuperCup and Masters series. Outside of GPVWC, Nijo Racing sub-teams have competed at Race Department in their Rally Championship and V8 World Supercars championship.
