Czechmate Motorsport (also known as CMS Racing) is a racing team based in Brno, Czech Republic. It was founded by former Formula One test driver Martin Moravec in late 2009.
History
Martin Moravec is a former racing driver, who was fairly successful in his home country. A deal with his personal sponsor Česká pojišťovna saw him become one of the test drivers of the cash-strapped Jordan team in 2005 - Moravec was the third Czech driver to be blessed with this honour, after Tomáš Enge in 1999 and Jarek Janiš in 2003.
However, Moravec abruptly retired from racing in 2009, and turned to business instead. It was in that year when he founded Czechmate Motorsport with help from Česká pojišťovna, originally as a team to nurture young Czech talented drivers, and also as a foundation to help Moravec's son Patrik with his own racing career. The team saw success in the Czech Republic, but it wasn't until 2019, when the team broke into the international level, competing in the GT Super Series for the first time.
The GT Super Series squad consisted of two cars: the full-time #550 entry with Czech driver Jiri Komárek, Congolese driver Wulfric Wombesi and Canadian James Wilmington, who subbed in for Wombesi in Baku; and the part-time #17 entry with old-timer John Zimmer and Phil McCracken.
