Richard Courtenay Motorsports was founded in 2006 by Richard Courtenay Smith. The team was started to enter two endurance series with races lasting from 6 to 24 hours, those series were SSCA and WOSEC. The game used for those series is Sierra's NASCAR Racing 2003 with a free add-on of 4 GTP cars. The team entered the series with the Mazda 787b in the GTP Lights class.

In our first race as a team in SSCA, we finished 2nd in the Lights class at the 12 Hours of Watkins Glen Long presented by Sim-Gear. Sim-Gear is a simracing company that sells simracing equipment like shifters and racing cockpits. In SSCA, we finished 4th at Sebring in our second race in the championship; later that year in SSCA, we finished 3rd in a special event with a Sauber, which ran in the GTP class. We even entered the WOSEC Le Mans 2006 in November but connection problems plagued the team and both the cars (Mazda®) had to retire. At the same time, the team had been driving in the TPG series that uses the game GTR2; the team was 3rd in the driver's championship, because we had taken 2 victories.

In 2007, RCM entered with full force in SSCA with 3 cars, WOSEC had closed their servers and the series was gone. The first race in the 2007 season was the 12 Hours of Daytona, despite the SSCA server crashing after 9 hours, RCM finished 3rd. In the championship standings, the team was now in 2nd place after Daytona. Next race on the calendar was the 6 Hours of Sunsky; the Mazda was hit by a car in the early stages and forced to retire. But the RCM Toyota had managed to capture RCM's first win in SSCA GTP. The 2nd Mazda came 5th and the team celebrated with burnouts on the front straight. In the championship standings, TEAM RCM neither lost nor gained a position, but remained second.

The series was now transformed to OATAS and their first race was the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With various problems for the leading team in the championship, RCM had to help the so called Team OER as a return favor for helping RCM in the beginning. The race was very controversial for RCM. First the Toyota which had won at Sunsky blew up for some reason, then the 2nd place in points Mazda was hit and crashed off track by a fellow racer. Before the three hour mark, RCM had lost 2 out of 4 cars. And it wasn't going to get better either. The Sauber which ran in the higher GTP class crashed into an invisible wall; hours later the Team OER car rolled in a curve and damaged its engine. Although this was bad, RCM made a return in the NEW SSCA series which now raced in the ISI game rFactor. During the first test race which took place at Watkins Glen, the team battled for 6 hours and came out as winners in the GT class with the Chevrolet Corvette C6.R. In addition to that, RCM took 5th place in the LMP class and 4th in the GT class. They were also the only team to have ALL of their cars cross the finish line.
