About Us

We are a team powered by lateral thinking and a deep technical understanding of race cars as a complex system of interacting components. With experience that outweighs the age of such a young team, we can bring a wide array of skills and knowledge to support your racing efforts along with a healthy dose of enthusiasm.

 

At Team Sakura, we offer a bespoke client-facing support service in club racing that is handled on a personal, case-by-case basis. Unlike other companies in this sector, we are unique in the way that we do not wish to take all responsibility and accomplishment away from the client, and instead support them both on and off the track to achieve their goals as an owner-driver in club motorsport.

Our Story

Originally conceived in 2021 by a pair of university students with aspirations to compete in motorsport by their own means, Team Sakura has since evolved into something far greater than the sum of its parts. Having grown to a team of seven with a varied skill set in order to bring a wide range of knowledge to clients, we can approach any challenge with confidence.
