Originally used as the RML test car in preparation for the 2011 season. Both this and RML 26 015/11 were purchased by bamboo engineering, however the desire for RML to continue testing together with the late completion of the second car meant that the cars could not be shipped to Brazil in time for the first race, so bamboo were forced to run the Chevrolet Lacettis they had used in previous years. Both cars were eventually collected from RML in time for the second race of the season in Belgium, with Darryl O'Young driving this car for the remainder of the year.

Alex MacDowall would take over driving duties in 2012 and 2013, with the cars updated to 2012-spec. A change of sponsor at the final two rounds of 2013 saw the cars run with a red livery in place of the white/blue/blue they had used for the majority of the year.
