History

The team actively participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 2004 and 2008. In 2006, the team finished fifth in the LMP2 category with a Radical SR9 powered by Judd.

The following year Rollcentre Racing returned to the LMP1 category, running a Pescarolo 01 driven by Martin Short, João Barbosa and Stuart Hall. The team finished in fourth place in the general classification. After an eleventh place in 2008, the team did not return to compete, despite plans to enter in 2015 with a Ginetta.

InFebruary 2009, the British team sold its Pescarolo 01 to Mundil Racing.

At the end of 2014, Martin Short became interested in the new LMP3 category, he declared: “I had been waiting for a project to attract my attention for six years! It's done ! We will be taking delivery of our car shortly before the first race of the season at Silverstone, so the schedule will be quite tight, but it will be the same for all Ginetta Juno buyers. At the moment, I have no plans to take the wheel, but I will use my experience to lead the team alongside engineer Lee Penn and put our car at the forefront. Our one and only goal is to obtain the reward offered to the winner of the LM P3 category in ELMS, that is to say the invitation to the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LM P2 category. We are now looking for drivers and partners for the Rollcentre Racing adventure back at Le Mans

In April 2016, with a prepared BMW M3 (E46), Rollcentre Racing won the 24 Hours of Silverstone , organized as part of the 24H Series 6 , 7.

At the end of 2016, the team announced the entry of a Mercedes-AMG GT3 into the British GT Championship for the 2017 season.
