History
editA few years ago Murphy and Manuell began talking about creating a team to compete in New Zealand motorsport, agreeing a team effort would be the way to go. Richard's parents, Graeme and Karen Moore were also keen to see the team set up.[2]
With the announcement that the V8SuperTourer would be debuting in 2012, the team was formed and premises built.
Brothers Kerry & Craig Holland along with Mike Squires provide facilities to the team.
M3 Racing is one of the most successful V8 SuperTourer Teams to date with the team picking up 11 Race Wins in just over a year of racing. The team also has 4 Round Wins and 2 Pole Positions, and also finished runner up in the Championship last year.
