According to the team's profile in GB4 Championship's website, KMR Sport is one of the leading teams in Formula Ford 1600. The team's drivers won Walter Hayes Trophy five times,[3] in 2011, 2013, 2017, 2018 and 2019.[4] In mid-2010s, the team also raced in Radical Sportscars's one-make racing championships.[5]

In January 2023, according to information from British Government's Companies House, a company, named KMR Operations, was incorporated.[10] It is responsible for KMR Sport's activities.

For the 2025 GB4 campaign, the team signed Alex O'Grady, Lily-May Watkins and Megan Bruce.[15] However, the team finished sixth in team's standing, losing the teams' title to Elite Motorsport.[16] O'Grady and Watkins remained with the team for 2026, while Holly Miall was signed to replace Bruce.[17][18]
