1 year on! A year ago today our GAA RS3100 Capri took to the streets of London, leading the Oracle Red Bull Racing F1 convoy to the F1 75 Live Event at the O2 Arena!

It was a great event to be a part of and to see the car in front of the iconic sights in London was something else! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ”ฅ

Recapping some highlights from our 2025 season! We are proud of what the team has achieved this year and we canโ€™t wait to see what 2026 brings!

Early in the year our GAA RS3100 Capri led the convoy from the Red Bull HQ, through the centre of London, arriving at the ahead of the Red Bull F1 2025 livery reveal at the 75 Live event! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

In April, BTCC Champion brought home his and the cars third win in five years in the Gordon Spice Trophy at the 82nd Members Meeting!

We hosted our first open day at the new HQ for close family, friends and partner companies, with a wide range of cars in the showroom, various parts of the workshop on show and a racing simulator up in the offices with a Top Gear esque leaderboard. ๐Ÿ™Œ

In May, the SOS Season 13 Finale aired, revealing the Ferrari 308 GTS restoration for retired Police Sergeant John with the car being handed back at a staged open day at our new Ric Wood Motorsport premises. ๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ“บ

We rebuilt the monstrous 7.3l V8 Buick Riviera engine from The Grand Tour special โ€˜Lochdownโ€™! With help from to strip and diagnose the engineโ€™s problems, to then rebuilding the engine with Ric for a long episode on DriveTribeโ€™s YouTube; now boasting over a million views! ๐ŸŸข

Another successful with ! This time he was in our Holden Commodore V8 Supercar and set a blistering time of 48.35 seconds, winning the Touring Car Class and taking P5 overall! โšช๐Ÿ”ดโšซ๐Ÿฅ‡ Our Gitanes Capri also made its FOS debut, but only as a static display!

We ended the racing season on a high, with Ric taking victory in the HKS R32 Skyline at the final round of the HTCC, in ever-treacherous conditions at Silverstone. The Taisan R32 of Nic Strong also drove well after qualifying P9 and bringing the car home safe and sound in P5! ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ

And of course, just before Christmas we introduced and handed over our latest Group 5 Ford Capri build, liveried up in Jรคgermeister! ๐ŸŸ ๐ŸŽ„

A big thanks to everyone for their support at the events and here on social media this year! Let us know what your favourite moment of the year has been?
