 MNR was formed by former BTCC Driver Marc Nordon in 2000 as a racing car rental business for "pay to drive" racing drivers who preferred not to purchase and maintain their own vehicles.In 2003 they started making the Vortx RT, a Lotus Seven inspired car based on Ford Sierra components.This was followed by the multi donor RT+ and RT Super using Ford Sierra Rear and Ford Cortina front end components combined with an inboard Rising Rate suspension setup.
