Casmir Autosport's early roots are from BoPal Racing, a team that was created in the 1960s to compete in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) races in the Chicago area.  The team raced an Austin Healey Sprite at such renowned tracks as Meadowdale International Raceway.  The team's driver was Bruce Bielanski, the father of Casmir Autosport's owner, Brian Bielanski.

After taking most of the 1970's and the early 1980's off, Bielanski started a new team.  In 1986, the team began nearly a decade of successful competition in both SCCA and Midwest Council races.  Bielanski raced at Road America, Mid-Ohio, Blackhawk Farms, Brainerd International Raceway and nearly every other track in the Midwest.  

After a season racing a Zink Formula Vee the team ran a Sports Renault (which later became Spec Racer Ford) and an Improved Touring Honda CRX.  Bielanski won several races and was a consistent podium finisher. 

The team was a family affair with Bielanski's wife Gayle and his sons Scott and Brian serving as the team's pit crew.  Brian helped his dad build the Honda and it didn't take long for Brian to catch the racing bug.  His work on his father's team is the foundation on which Casmir Autosport is built.

After college, Brian Bielanski created Casmir Autosport in 1996.  Casmir is Brian's middle name, a family name that came from his great grandfather.  He built Casmir Autosport's first car, an Improved Touring Honda Civic.  Brian raced the Civic at the historic Road Atlanta and Memphis Motorsports Park.  Brian also tried a brief stint in Formula Vee.

In 2008, father and son are reunited for Casmir Autosport's latest effort.  The is preparing a Mazda Miata for Spec Miata competition.

Brian Bielanski's off track accomplishments include a 20 year career as a journalist (with CBS, CNN and in local TV), public relations professional and entrepreneur.

Going forward Casmir Autosport is concentrating on the F1 USA program.  The timeline includes an immediate push to fund the Junior Racing Team.  The Junior Racing Team is the program we will use to prepare our drivers for F1.  We will concurrently begin establishing the relationships and securing the funding to make our entry into Formula 1.  

The ultimate goal... an American Formula One Driver's Champion and an American F1 Constructor's Champion by 2025.
