Shaun Muir Racing (or SMR) is an international race team based in Guisborough, Cleveland in the north-east of England. The team is owned by Shaun Muir, a former international superbike racer. In 2019, they became the BMW works team using BMW S1000RR machines, culminating in winning the 2024 Superbike World Championship with rider Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and M1000 RR machines.
They were the 2011 British Superbike Championship winning team with rider Tommy Hill, and again in 2015 with rider Josh Brookes.
Shaun Muir Racing began in 2002, moving into the British Superbike Championship in 2004 under the Hydrex Honda banner, staying with Honda until 2011 when they switched to Yamaha machinery going on to win their first title. Their first major sponsorship were Hydrex, a company that specialises in the rental and sale of mobile plant equipment with the rail, industrial and construction industries, up until the end of the 2009 season. The team was sponsored by tobacco accessories brand Swan, starting in 2010 and lasting until the end of 2012. From 2013 to 2015, the team used the name Milwaukee Yamaha, reflecting the name of its major sponsor, Milwaukee Tools.
During 2015, SMR acted as a Yamaha factory development agent, working to develop the cross-plane R1 engined machines in advance of an anticipated return to World Superbike racing in 2016.
In an online interview in November 2015, rider Josh Brookes commented that Muir could not make a statement regarding the team's plans for 2016 until the contract with Yamaha had ended in December. In early December, Shaun Muir confirmed his move to BMW M1000RR machinery and World Superbikes.
