Bakkumakaotoreshinguchimu (Back-Marker Auto Racing Team), commonly shortened to BORC, is an Anglo-Japanese racing team, founded by hotel magnate Satoru Maka and motorsport engineer Richard Back, with their names (translated in Back's case) forming the rather ironic title of the team.
History
2019
BORC, to establish itself in the racing world, entered the 2019 AutoReject Nippon (formerly SANDWICH) series running Roberto Dinella and Takuma Nakamura in Honda-powered Dallara chassis as 'BORC Shimano Lampre'. At the same time, BORC also entered the fledging Pacific Endurance Series with two Honda NSX-Rs, with the aim of becoming one of the front-running GT teams in this newly-formed championship. This quickly proved to be a false start for the team, as both series were cancelled before a race was run.
Undeterred, the team also lodged an entry in the 2019 Anglo-Irish F4 series through its Brands Hatch-based subsisdary BORC Development UK, running Maka's son Toshio along with young Irish driver Siobhán de Bhailéara. This soon proved fruitful for the team, with de Bhaileara consistently scoring points and Maka managing the team's debut win, though this would be the only time he would score in 2019.
2020
BORC contiuned to expand in 2020, entering cars in both LMP2 and LMP3 in the European Le Mans Series as well as in F3 Asia as well while also continuing the successful Anglo-Irish F4 program.
