DSR Racing (also nown as DSR) is a Bulgarian racing team, founded by former Formula One driver Deyan Rangelov, who was widely known as the first racing driver from the Soviet block to compete in Formula One. Currently the team is participating in Ferrarist's Alternate DTM and Prost GP Series championships.
DSR Racing is believed to have some connections with Alternate Formula 1 Leader team and rFactor Alternate Formula One Arrows team as it is highly likely that all these teams have been owned and operated by related persons.
