Managing Director of Peterborough-based Revolution Race Cars, Phil Abbott, is looking forward to supporting the Grand Prix in Portugal.
“We are proud that the Revolution A-One has been approved as a support race for the Grand Prix,” said Abbott. “We set out to design a car that is at the cutting edge of customer motorsport, with advanced technology, innovative design, high downforce and forgiving handling. It’s the perfect car for such a demanding circuit.”
Promoter of the Sports Prototype Cup James Bailey is also looking forward to seeing the Revolution A-One grid competing in Portugal.
“To race at one of Europe’s most challenging circuits in front of F1 fans is a privilege for our drivers and teams,” said James Bailey. “We’ve already provided some sensational racing at Brands hatch and Spa-Francorchamps and the Grand Prix support race is a fabulous opportunity to showcase the performance of the Revolution A-One and the depth of our grid and drivers.
