a busy workshop with a diversity of projects underway, including the Peugeot 406 Super Tourer for the BTCC, single-seaters and the Pacific-BRM P301 Le Mans/ISRS chassis Perhaps best known for our eponymous hillclimb cars, which have won the British Hillclimb Championship 17 times in the last 21 years, Pilbeam Racing Designs has also undertaken a number of extremely successful, but unpublicised, projects in Super Touring & Rallying for a number of customers including GM, Honda, Peugeot, Ford & Hyundai. An exciting new chapter in the 30+ 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 represents 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 have now 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 latest "state-of-the-art" single seater design; the MP88. In conjunction with Quorn Engine Developments (QED), Pilbeam is developing three performance enhancement kits for the phenomenally popular Lotus Elise. QED are responsible for the engine side of the programme, while we look after the chassis developments. 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. In 1998, Spectre Cars utilised Pilbeam's renowned expertise in the field to design a new suspension for the latest evolution of their impressive R50 supercar.
