I don’t know how old is this thread.
I am the designer hired by Mr. David Richards and worked under David Lapeworth together with Ian Perry ( marketing) to design the first prototype of a road legal racing car. I came up with the name P1. I didn’t want to use the Subaru badge or any labels on the car apart from the P1. P was for: Prodrive, prototype, performance , first place, everyone said that the P is not familiar like GTI or GT etc. I said that one day it will be and I proved it was correct.
I have photos of the development stages, report and other leftovers if someone is interested to see. General sketch concept. All right reserved Me near one of the BMW saloon card. All right reserved The final drawing All right reserved Prototype with mockup parts (plastic) wheel lights girl, fog light air intake.

i think you have confused P1's
They are talking about the GC8 based on the Type R chassis and built for the UK market.

i think what he is saying is that P1 came from a previous prodrive incarnation that he was on the design team for but it never seen the light of day/production. the same "p1" name was then used for the GC8 car later developed by Prodrive
hence he originally coined the name "P1"
