Great Leap Backward

Great Leap Backward is a racing team from Shanghai, China. The team is known for its communist image, often seeking sponsorship from countries as North Korea or Transnistria. Due to their anticapitalistic principles, GLB only runs in low-cost championships.

It is not entirely clear when the team was founded, but it was likely to be in the early eighties. GLB made its international race debut in 1992 in LGPS having run drivers such as Kim Jong-Sung and Gio Van Dycke, then continued in Rejects-1 World Championship since 1994 until that series withdrawal in 1998. GLB has never been able to be truly successful, at best scoring a handful of podium finishes and a runaway win. After 1997 GLB have made no successful appearances in other series.
