NSSCRA History

Multiversal Series History

Badai Angin Tim Motorsport entered the 8th season of the Nationstates Stock Car Racing Association (NSSCRA) after acquiring the assets of Ajian team Kissan Motorsport (KISMO) during season 7 of the competition when the latter became defunct after the end of the previous season. Entering three full-time teams with all rookie drivers in their first season, overspending of their budget as well as a lackluster technical package of engine, chassis, and tyres caused them to miss most of the races, and their two charters taken away from them. As a result, the operation downsized to a single-car full time team and one part-time team for Season 9, where their performance improved, keeping their charter for the entire season and qualifying for all their attempted races.

Season 10 saw an expansion to two full-time teams, the #0, and the #00 teams which were driven by former national stock car champions Hana Bhe and Fiona Sunarya. The team entered a third entry in Filindostan with FISCAR runner-up Mercy Binayas. The season also saw the first win for the organization as Fiona Sunarya drove her #00 car to victory at the TJUN 600 and subsequently qualified for the playoffs, being eliminated in the Round of 16 with a heartbreaking moment as Rinzi Aogar Zakhilwal won the race to pip the Filindo out of 12th place.

Season 11 will see another expansion as the third team will run full-time, and will have their first foreign driver in the organization's history as Rockii Ezis will take over the flagship team, with Hana Bhe being moved to the third team. The organization also announced partnerships with Aji No Moto's Katana Racing to field one full time entry in the Multiversal Series as well as Rusty Motorsports operating the open charter hold for current WGPC driver Rustom Ibuna.

Car No. 60 History

The #60 Team is the flagship team of BA Tim. The car was driven by former national stock car champion Hana Bhe since their debut in NSSCRA 8 up to NSSCRA 10, placing 27th in the exhibition race of the former. For their first season, the car was numbered #0, mainly sponsored by Descension, a business process outsourcing company in Filindostan. However, the car did not perform as expected by the team, qualifying in the lower positions and in many cases, only qualifying due to the team having a charter. In 12 races it made, the car only placed as high as 37th place as well as having four DNFs, including one at their home race at the Yoggy Oval. Before the Toys 4 All 500 qualifying at Lonngeylin Ring, the team's charter was reallocated, causing the team to need to qualify by speed, which they failed to do for the rest of the season.

During the offseason, there were many rumors of either BA Tim pulling out of the NSSCRA or reorganizing their structure, with news of them bringing back Chiemi Hino to the competition, who at the time is contracted driver under the Badai Angin drivers' programme. Shortly before Season 9 started, the organization scaled back their operations, keeping the #0 as the sole full-time team, keeping Bhe as the driver and sending the other drivers to other programs. The remaining sponsors of the other teams were consolidated to the sole entry and as a result had many various paint schemes from Descension, Solymok, VeniLoans, and Zalada, with Badai Angin being the sponsor for the home race at Yoggy Oval.

Bhe found herself struggling at the back of the field in the first five races before scoring her first top ten in Ruwani Motor Speedway in Banija. She would get her first top 3 in her home race in the Yoggy Oval, finishing 3rd. The team would improve significantly compared to last season, getting 2 top 3s, 3 top 5s, and 10 top 10s in this season, and despite rumors of Bhe being considered to be replacing Meagan Sharpe in the #4 Team Cassadaigua entry for Season 10, the organization decided to offer an extension to the Filindo driver beyond the ninth season. Bhe would ultimately finish 24th in the drivers' standings.

Bhe had a strong start in NSSCRA 10, with the team co-sponsored by Descension and Zalada, a Filindo online shopping mobile app, having five top 10s and having a best finish of 3rd in Squidroidia. Bhe was well inside playoff contention with four races remaining in the regular season, but failure to finish inside the top 20 in any of the four races eliminated her from playoff contention. Despite a sixth place finish in Yoggy Oval during the playoffs, she was not able to remain in the Top 20 in points, finishing 21st in the drivers' standings.

Late in the season, rumors started to surface regarding the signing of Vilita and Turori driver Rockii Ezis from Rocket Motorsports to replace Bhe in the flagship team. This was confirmed during the offseason, with the car number renumbered initially to #09, but was renumbered again to #60 to reflect Ezis' initial car number while driving for Vilita and Turori Motorsports in NSSCRA 6. The team will be fully funded by the CoCoCo entities and Cocoa-bo Eatery for NSSCRA 11 and will take the charter of the #00 team last season which made it to the Top 20 due to qualifying for the playoffs last season.

Car No. 00 History

The #99 Team is the second team of BA Tim, and was driven by former national stock car runner-up Ilham Lukas Jenie in their debut in NSSCRA 8, numbered #00 at the time, and placing 32th in the exhibition race. For their first season, the car was mainly sponsored by Solymok, from Gergary. However, the car did not perform as expected by the team, qualifying in the lower positions and in many cases, only qualifying due to the team having a charter. In the 7 races it made, the car only placed as high as 39th place as well as having five DNFs. Before the Yoggy 500 qualifying at the Yoggy Oval, the team's home race, the team's charter was reallocated, causing the team to need to qualify by speed, which they failed to do for the rest of the season.

During the offseason, there were many rumors of either BA Tim pulling out of the NSSCRA or reorganizing their structure Shortly before Season 9 started, the organization scaled back their operations, keeping the #0 as the sole full-time team, and sending Jenie to the Hodoran GT championship. The Solymok sponsorship of the #00 was moved to the flagship #0 and the team was shut down for season 9, allocating the pit crew to the #99 FISCAR team of Fiona Sunarya during that time.

However, at the NSSCRA race at Cocoa-bo Speedway in Starksville, Cassadaigua, it was announced that the team would be reactivated as the #83 with Sunarya driving six races during Season 9. Eventually, the #83 entry was run for the rest of the season but was operated using Dahon cars and a separate team (joint Dahon and Nasional Tim Motorsport entry) operating it. During the time when the #83 entry was operated by BA Tim, they qualified for every race they attempted, finishing as high as 24th in the TMW 500 at the Ramba Test Track. The team also participated as the #000 at the Rumble in the Rice Fields in Guilin, but failed to get the available open charter spots after finishing 13th. Sunarya would wound up 54th in the drivers' standings. Before the end of the season, it was announced that Sunarya will be moving up to the NSSCRA series for Season 10 with the #00 number bought from Jaguar Racing which used the number for Michael Stefan during Season 9.

Before the start of the season, MasayaBee, a Filindo fastfood chain, has announced to sponsor 18 of 26 races including the exhibition with the other 9 sponsored by Descension and their Girls Will Code initiative. Sunarya struggled to qualify for races at the start of the season, missing the Exhibition race at Tundra Falls and barely qualifying for the Tundra Falls 500. At her fifth start in her tenth attempt, she gave the organization their first win in NSSCRA when she took the chequered flag at the TJUN 600, locking her in the playoffs. The second charter reassignments saw her team receive the charter from the #29 Itzal Lasterketa team that guaranteed her to start every playoff race. At the final round of 16 race at their home in Yoggy Oval, she narrowly missed the cut line as Rinzi Aogar Zakhilwal, needing a win to make it to the next round, crossed the finish line first, rendering Sunarya's 16th place finish not enough to advance. She would finish 5th in Taipingxi to wrap up her debut season in 16th place in the drivers' standings and win the Rookie of the Year honors as the only rookie to qualify for the playoffs.

This season, Masayabee will return to sponsor the team full time, with co-sponsorship from Zalada which moved from the then #0 team. The team will also receive the charter for the #0 team last season which was enough this time to have a charter allocated this season despite finishing outside the top 20 in owner points.

Car No. 99 History

The #99 Team is the research and development team of BA Tim, and has been driven by Badai Angin Young Drivers Programme member Franklin Egar in their debut in NSSCRA 8, placing 34th in the exhibition race. For their first season, the car was numbered #80 and was self sponsored by Badai Angin. However, the car did not perform as expected by the team, failing to qualify for all but one of the NSSCRA 8 schedule, when Egar qualified 36th in the Atlas 799K at the Aurora Motorsports Park in Esmerel, and Descension providing sponsorship for the race having moved the paint scheme from the #0 team who failed to qualify for the event.

During the offseason, there were many rumors of either BA Tim pulling out of the NSSCRA or reorganizing their structure. Shortly before Season 9 started, the organization scaled back their operations, keeping the #0 as the sole full-time team, and sending Egar to the Hodoran GT championship. The team was shut down for season 9, allocating the pit crew to the #0 FISCAR team of Mercy Binayas during that time. Binayas made one appearance in the #0 car in the IRACT-sanctioned Rumble in the Rice Fields, but failed to finish the race. The #80 team would not make any appearance in Season 9 and the number is allocated the the UrGa entry of Leonidas Baxter.

The team will make a return in the NSSCRA as the #99 in the Yoggy Oval as the open charter hold for Mercy Binayas's NSSCRA debut, as well as an appearance as an unchartered entry at the last race of the season in Tundra Falls.
