Perhaps best known over the years for our eponymous hillclimb cars, which have won many British Hillclimb Championship in the last 30+ years, and also our successful sports racing cars, Pilbeam Racing Designs has also undertaken a number of extremely successful, but unpublicised, projects in Sports Car racing, Super Touring & Rallying for a number of customers including GM, Honda, Peugeot, Ford & Hyundai, Nissan and Lotus. a busy workshop with a diversity of projects underway, including the Peugeot 406 Super Tourer, single-seaters and the Pacific-BRM P301 Le Mans/ISRS chassis An exciting new chapter in the 35 year history of the company was opened when the MP84 Sports Racing Car made its competitive debut in Round 3 of the International Sports Racing Series (ISRS) at Spa Francorchamps in May of 1999. This state of the art SR2/LMP2 class sports car represented the marques' re-entry into mainstream circuit racing. MP84 - 02, the first production car, completed only 2 days before the event, won Round 5 of the ISRS at Donington Park, England on the 18th of July 1999. Experts in the art of aluminium honeycomb tub construction, we then turned our attention to carbon fibre. Two new hillclimb designs, featuring carbon tubs, came off the drawing board during 1999. MP86-01, powered by a V8 Judd engine, & MP87-01, a 4 cylinder Hart engined car. 2002 saw the launch of our "state-of-the-art" single seater design; the MP88. The latest development of this design became the MP97 in 2007. In more recent years, Pilbeam developed three performance enhancement kits for the phenomenally popular Lotus Elise and Exige. The Stage 1 suspension package utilises the existing suspension but with improved bushing. Stage 2 introduces rose jointed wishbones, new dampers and uprated springs but retains the existing uprights. The stage 3 kit will include a completely new suspension with lightweight cast aluminium uprights. The suspension kits are also available for 340R's. On the sportscar racing front, the MP84 developed into the MP91 for 2003 and then in 2005 a completely brand new design from the ground up was launched in the shape of the MP93. This car had several successes in the Le Mans Endurance Series and also made three appearances at the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours.
