PRO-R at Oulton Park saturday
I had a long chat with All the Guys at PRO-R at Oulton
This does seem a VERY interesting new development working along side of SUBARU UK but not exclusively UK cars though ;) http://www.sidtech.co.uk/iu/T5NYW740812122165.JPG There has been a void left by Prodrive as they have moved on to pastures new. Pro-R say with some very big and well known partener, their Tuning and handling ranges will fill this Gap. And If a UK owner you will still retain a 3 year UK warranty :thumbup: It does look like they are getting all the right people on board :norty: As I did speak to Mike Wood, ex-Prodrive PPP and handling guru (if you own a RB5, P1, WR1, RB320 or 330s he would have had a very big input on them all) I also chatted to another "expert" Paul Cowland from TSL Motorsport Fame. Although there WEB site http://www.pro-r.co.uk/ is not up and running yet you can enter your Email to be informed when Ready. I'm hoping they will be competitive, but only time will tell Tony |

time will tell, the issue they will have is with the brand, as above no real brand name like Prodrive

They have just up and running with A time attack car but not certain where based. They did have RCM Logos on shirts along with Alcon etc etc They seem to have large backing and uk owners keep their warranty. Tony |
spoke to them also at oulton park and they are based just outside birmingham

From the magazines, Pro-R are Subaru's preferred tuning partner ( in lui of Prodrive ) for customer cars, and the range of parts will be warranty friendly, fitted at your dealer ( or possibly at Pro-R ?? ).
Suggested parts were exhausts, induction, handling items. |
So in essence we are only talking about the possibility of the PPP type deal but under a new name? Too little too late imo, especially when there is a whole tuning community that is, dare I say, much better geared up. Of course this would be an entirely different situation if Subaru UK were actually selling enough cars to warrant any such venture, which I some how doubt they are. IMO the market is getting more niche by the month.
