25.10.09 Racing at SnettertonEx BTCC Prodrive Mondeo V6. One of the best sounding race cars ever, unfortunately it only did two laps before retiring, despite the stunning preparation. Hence the less then brilliant quality of the picture.

The first generation was given a mid life facelift in September 1996 and was replaced by a second generation for the 2001 model year.
The Facelift version of the Mark I Sierra, sometimes referred to a Mark 2 was introduced in October 1996, addressing three of the critiscms aimed at the original, its bland styling, the poor headlight performance and the cramped rear legroom. The facelift left only the doors, the roof, and the rear quarter panels on the estate the same as the original model. The most notable change was the introduction of the grille and larger, wraparound lighting units. The saloon version featured some distinctive rear lights.
The Mondeo competed in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) between 1993 and 2000. With cars prepared by Andy Rouse Engineering (1993-95) with Alan Menu and Paul Radisich, Radisich winning the Drivers title in 1993 and 1994, for seasons 1996-98 West Surrey Racing with Prodrive taking over for seasons 1999-00. For 2000 the team expanded to running three works cars, and went on to dominate the season with Mondeo mounted drivers finishing the season in 1st Alan Menu, 2nd Anthony Reid and 3rd Rickard Rydell in the Drivers Championship.
A complete overhaul of the BTCC following the 2000 season saw the supertouring regulations scrapped as the series moved towards less expensive but slower race cars. Ford withdrew from BTCC competition prior to 2001.

Seen through the fences near Karting Nord, sometime on the Saturday night of the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hours: the GTE-Pro works Senna/Makowiecki/Bell Aston Martin Vantage V8 run by Prodrive.
Being part of the writing corps armong the press I had to settle for the spectators' view of the cars but at Le Mans that is no less spectacular.
Atmospheric non-car images taken at this Le Mans edition can be found in my other photostream.
When I first saw it, I knew this car was something extra. An original, progressive, bold sexy car in all respects, which shone like a meteor in the summer sky at this year's Dakar Rally. I studied its shapes and structure for several weeks before I dared to build it. Its curves are extremely graceful, which is always a big challenge for a Lego MOC. The final inspiration was his official prototype, which was presented in my beloved orange color. Today, the car drives behind the BRX car stable, but its development and construction was completed by the well-known British company Prodrive, which has a number of racing specials to its credit (one of them was my Citroen C3 WRC model).
Two of these cars set off for the Dakar Rally with great ambitions. The first was driven by Sebastian Loeb, who unfortunately did not finish the race and behind the wheel of the second car sat Nani Roma, who finished in a great 5th place. 🏆
Enjoy a racing special for endurance competitions called Hunter!
With this third model, I am closing this year's Dakar Series and I look forward to next year!

I have a few photographs that were taken using an old 1980s Instamatic camera. The pictures, when developed, were so grainy it's unbelievable. So, I'm trying a bit of picture editing to make them a bit more presentable. Here goes....
This is the Prodrive-entered Ferrari 550 GTS Maranello that competed in the 2002 Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race.
It was driven by former British Touring Car Champions Alain Menu and Rickard Rydell and by ex-Formula 1 driver Tomas Enge. The car competed in the GTS class but would ultimately retire after 167 laps.

Radio 1 DJ Mike Smith was no slouch in the Prodrive/BMW Finance Racing with Mobil 1 BMW M3, regularly annoying team leader Frank Sytner by either beating him or pinching the odd point for fastest lap! This race at Silverstone he played second fiddle to Sytner who won class B and got the fastest lap in 1:42.75 compared to Smith's best of 1:43.92.

Front engined again.
The BB had a mid-mounted engine while the Maranello marked a return to the traditional front-engined layout, not the best one for track performance. But the racing version of the F550 was a pretty quick machine. This car raced in the 2003 Le Mans Series and finished 10th overall in the Le Mans 24 Hours winning its category.

BMW M3 E30 (1985-92) Engine 2300cc S4 16v
# 33 (Fearless) Frank Synter
Team: Prodrive
Based on the 1986 model year E30 3-Series, the E30 M3 used the BMW S14 engine.
In contrast to later M3 iterations, the E30 M3 was campaigned by BMW as well as other racing teams including Prodrive and AC Schnitzer competing in many forms of racing including rally as well as German, British, Italian, Belgian, French, and Australian touring. The production of the E30 road car was to homologate the M3 for Group A Touring Car racing. It was to compete with the "2.3-16V"-model of the Mercedes-Benz W201 190E that was introduced in 1983. In its final years of competition, the 2.5-litre S14 engine in full race trim was capable of over 250 hp (190 kW)
