History

Byobugaura Kogyo Co., Ltd. established the race division "B-Max Engineering" in 2009, and started participating in Super FJ and Porsche Carrera Cup Japan in 2010. Since then, the participation category has been expanded. Ryuji Kumita, the president and team representative, competes in the race himself under the pseudonym "Dragon".

In 2014, the team name was changed to "B-Max Racing Team" (Vehicle Division). In addition, from the same year, instead of Nova Engineering, B-Max Racing was entrusted with the team management of NDDP Racing, which they participate in the Super GT in the GT300 class and the Japanese Formula 3 Championship.[1] They have also participated in Super Formula Championship since 2017,[2] and in November of the same year, spun off from Byobugaura Kogyo Co., Ltd. as B-MAX RACING Co., Ltd.[3] They participated in the Super GT in the GT500 class in 2018.[4] In 2019, they participated in Super Formula with two cars, in collaboration with the German racing team Motopark Academy.[5]
