[IMG: A 25th CONSECUTIVE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS BECKONS FOR PRODRIVE]

03 June 2026
[H1] A 25th CONSECUTIVE 24 HOURS OF LE MANS BECKONS FOR PRODRIVE

As the 24 Hours of Le Mans returns this June, Prodrive will mark a significant milestone: its 25th consecutive appearance at the world’s most demanding endurance race.
Over a quarter of a century, the Banbury-based engineering and motorsport group has played a continuous role in the evolving story of Le Mans. Working in partnership with leading manufacturers, Prodrive has engineered, built and raced cars across both prototype and GT categories, including Ferrari programmes in the early 2000s and, more recently, a long-term collaboration with Aston Martin.
From the V12-powered GT1 era through to today’s GT3 racing landscape, that presence has been defined by six class wins and, beyond headline moments, consistent competitive performance. Across 25 uninterrupted entries, Prodrive-built cars have covered 346,958 kilometres of racing at Le Mans, equivalent to over 8.5 times around the world.
In that time, the race itself has changed significantly. Regulations have shifted, technologies have advanced, and manufacturers have come and gone. Yet for Prodrive, the core challenge has remained the same: to design, prepare and run cars capable of sustaining front-running performance over 24 hours at the limit.
The scale of that effort is reflected not only in distance, but in people. Across 25 consecutive races, Prodrive has worked alongside over 70 drivers and competed against over 400 teams, with each year presenting a new set of variables to wrestle.
“Le Mans has always meant something deeply personal to me,” said Prodrive Chairman, David Richards. “It’s a race that captured my imagination from a young age, so to see Prodrive reach its 25th consecutive entry is incredibly special. A real testament to the passion and dedication of the people who have made that journey possible.”
While cars, drivers and partners have evolved, some individuals have remained constant. Race Team Operations Director Paul ‘Drez’ Diggins and Race Team Manager Simon Edwards have been part of all of Prodrive’s 24 previous Le Mans campaigns, giving the team a line of continuity that runs through multiple generations of cars and competition.
As the 25th consecutive running approaches, the focus remains firmly forward. Le Mans continues to set the benchmark for endurance racing and, for Prodrive, the objective is unchanged: to support its partners with the engineering capability, operational discipline and experience required to compete at the highest level.
“What makes Le Mans so extraordinary is that, despite all the change, the essence of the challenge never fades. It still demands everything of you,” Richards added. “That’s what continues to inspire us, and why, even after 25 years, the desire to come back and compete remains as strong as ever.”

[H1] PRODRIVE SUPPORTS JCB HYDROMAX LAND SPEED RECORD VEHICLE

JCB has appointed Prodrive to support its hydrogen-powered land speed record programme, JCB Hydromax.
Prodrive will apply its expertise in vehicle integration and trackside operations, supporting the JCB-led programme to bring JCB’s hydrogen technology into a purpose-built car designed for extreme speed. The team is targeting a record attempt on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, this summer, 20 years on from JCB rewriting the history books with the JCB Dieselmax streamliner car in August 2006.
JCB Hydromax combines the challenges of high performance with the integration of a 1,600 bhp hydrogen powertrain in a unique streamliner platform. Prodrive is working closely with JCB engineers to deliver a stable, reliable vehicle capable of operating at extreme speed.
“Integrating JCB’s hydrogen technology into a vehicle capable of extreme speed is a significant challenge, said Prodrive Chairman, David Richards. “But such challenges have defined Prodrive’s success for the last 40 years. Our role is to leverage our experience to help deliver a vehicle that demonstrates what hydrogen power can really do.”
Following final assembly in Banbury, the programme will move to UK shakedown testing in June, before further development and the record attempt in the United States this summer.

In 2021, JCB unveiled its first ever prototype products powered by hydrogen: a backhoe loader and a Loadall telescopic handler. JCB’s purpose-engineered zero CO² hydrogen engine was designed after a challenge to the company’s engineers from Lord Bamford. As part of a £100 million investment, a team of 150 engineers has been working on the exciting hydrogen engine project, and more than 150 JCB hydrogen combustion engines have so far been produced, with the first machines now in production.

[H1] BRINGING THE SUPER TOURING CARS ERA BACK TO LIFE

Prodrive will help bring to life one of the headline attractions at this weekend’s 83rd Goodwood Members’ Meeting, as the golden era of British Touring Car racing returns to the Goodwood Motor Circuit.
The event will host nearly 50 Touring Cars from the period, with The Super Touring Shootout promising a rare and evocative celebration of late 1990s touring car racing, with legendary machinery and drivers returning to the circuit. Among the standout entries will be the Prodrive-built and run 2000 Ford Mondeo, driven during the season by Anthony Reid, who will once again take the wheel as the car competes in the timed Shootout itself.
Alongside the on track action, Prodrive will bring two significant cars from its Heritage Collection for static display. The Ford Mondeo driven by Reid’s teammate, Alain Menu, to the 2000 British Touring Car Championship Drivers’ title will be on show. One of the most sophisticated touring cars ever built, it represents the culmination of Prodrive’s Super Touring programme.
Joining it on display will be a 1998 Honda Accord, raced by James Thompson for the Prodrive-run Honda factory team. A 1997 Honda Accord, also built by the team, and driven in period by Gabrielle Tarquini, is set to take part in the timed competition.
Beyond the Super Touring era, Prodrive also ran Alfa Romeo’s BTCC team in 1995. Earlier still, the company played a pivotal role with BMW, running the marque’s works programme from 1987 to 1992 and securing three driver’s championships in successive years from 1988 to 1990 with Frank Sytner and James Weaver.
The 83rd Members’ Meeting offers an evocative snapshot of an era when innovation, competition and personality defined the BTCC. It also underlines Prodrive’s enduring role in touring car racing, from the showroom derived battles of the late eighties to the no holds barred Super Touring era that many fans still regard as the championship’s high point.
