M3 Motorsport

M3 Motorsport was founded by Sydney club racers John Cotter and Peter Doulman when they purchased a pair of ex Mobil 1 Racing ex JPS BMW M3s in 1989.

Debuting at the 1989 Oran Park 300, the team won the under 2.5 litre class at that year's Bathurst 1000.

In 1993, the cars were converted to 2 litre specifications with Doulman competing at all nine rounds to win the championship.
