Motor sport enthusiast Kenneth Ma founded FRD in 1997 and in just a few years, propelled FRD to become one of the leading Motor Sport event organizers, promoters and racing team operators in China and greater Asia. These were all accomplished with the sole intention of bringing motor sports in the region to a higher level and providing a solid training ground for new drivers.

With this mission in mind and using the European motor racing technology and system as reference, FRD structured a strategy and action plan needed to fulfill this mission. A junior Formula series called Formula Campus was bought in to China in 1997, after which FRD reached an agreement with Renault Sports Technologies of France in 2002 to become the official Asian promoter of the Formula Renault 2.0 series. Formula Renault 2.0 series, after being in the market for so many years, is still considered the best stepping stone for young drivers to move into higher series. In the 2009 season, FRD did it again by introducing the renowned European one make Renault Clio Cup series to China. After opening races in Lemans, France and Nuburgring, Germany, the series traveled to China and brought spectacular shows to the fans.

Also, with the vision of developing motor racing in the region, Kenneth Ma and FRD have been actively working on creating training opportunities for Asian and Chinese drivers. The FRD Training system has produced drivers such as Marchy Lee, Jim Kato, Jiang Tengyi, and Franky Chang. Most of these drivers are enjoying a successful career in racing and gaining international attention. FRD also has a good working relationship with some the of the major European race teams. These relationships allow FRD to design a racing system to assist those drivers whose goal is reaching F1.

On top of the promotional and driver development segments, FRD also participates actively in motor Racing as a “team”. Over the years, FRD has been campaigning successfully in various types of racing activities such as Rally, Formula racing and Touring Car racing. The Changan Ford Racing team was established by Changan Ford and FRD in 2006 and was the first ever manufacture team in CTCC—the top level touring car race in China. Over the past four years, the team clinched twice the team champion in the very competitive 2000cc class (2007 & 2009) and had developed into a very professional team in every aspect. The project is heading into its' 4 th successful year with more glory to achieve and more adventure to explore.
