Bitten Heroes Grand Prix Engineering, often shortened to Bitten Heroes GPE or Bitten Heroes, is a racing team based on the outskirts of Brax, Lisander. It was founded before WGPC 15 by Maud Racing team owner, Natássia Maud, but today is headed up by Juliano Lemos and Carolina Lasseps, at sporting and technical divisions respectively. Bitten Heroes have a long-standing and close relationship with Lisander Autosports Board and Motorsport Lisander, being the sole WGPO license holder until WGPC 25.
On the verge of bankruptcy due to the involvement of its sponsors in a corruption scandal, Bitten Heroes GPE was sold by Mrs Maud to the then team driver, Juliano Lemos, at the end of WGPC season 16 for a symbolic price of 5 Lis. Since then, the team has gone on to lease its WGPO licenses, as well as licensing the naming rights of the team to some teams in other series. After two years leasing the Bitten Heroes GPE) WGPO license, L3 Partners bought X-PRO, formerly a joint-venture between car manufacturers Camden and Cygnus (later Dunneot). Absorbing X-PRO, Bitten Heroes GPE expanded its operations to beyond its own cars, becoming responsible for the building of single-seaters for Lisanderian teams in minor categories, like IOWCC and IBA World Cup of Motorsport.
Leasing and constructing ended up being the biggest sources of income for the team, before the sale of almost half of it to HRMN Capital, a private investment firm that owns companies in technology, transports and materials. Bitten Heroes GPE is currently co-owned by L3 Partners srl (50.4%) and HRMN Capital (49.6%). Further transference of shareholder control is expected to take place, and it is expected that Lemos will stop accumulating the position of President as well, remaining perhaps as a minority owner, or even as owner only through HRMN Capital.
