Radical Motorsport, the UK’s largest race car manufacturer, has announced the opening of a new customer-facing facility within Donington Park, Britain’s oldest motor racing circuit. Located at the main entrance, just 100m from the circuit itself at the famous Melbourne Hairpin entry, the facility will be known as Radical Motorsport’s corporate headquarters.

The move into the former Formula E headquarters comes after Radical Motorsport’s most successful year in its 25-year history, and marks a historic moment for the company, moving the customer-facing sales and marketing teams away from its factory in Peterborough for the first time. The company’s manufacturing and production base will remain in Peterborough which has been home to Radical Motorsport since it was founded 26 years ago in 1997, and the company remains fully committed to its roots in Cambridgeshire.

The new base is set to become a destination for owners and fans alike, a venue for automotive events and a unique meeting space for business partners and corporate reservations. Open to the public throughout the year and on selected race weekends, Radical Motorsport will open its doors to welcome all visitors to Donington Park.

Behind the scenes, in addition to the office space for its sales, marketing, and motorsport staff, the premises will provide the expanding Radical Motorsport dealer network with dedicated training opportunities to be able to better serve its growing customer base across the world.

Radical Motorsport CEO Joe Anwyll said: “We looked at a number of non-circuit-based locations in the UK to host our expanding commercial team. However, with British motorsport tracks widely known as being some of the best in the world, we had to take this opportunity, as a British motorsport manufacturer, to be right on the doorstep of the action.

“As well as our expanding team and record production numbers this year, this move to Donington Park will allow us to pursue ventures we have been unable to from our factory. Our cars belong on track, so it is only fitting we be present there too.”

Chief executive of circuit operator MotorSport Vision (MSV), Jonathan Palmer, commented: “I am delighted that Radical Motorsport has decided to move its corporate headquarters to Donington Park. Since MSV took over the running of the venue in 2018, it has been our ambition not just to create an improved competitor and spectator experience, which we have already achieved through numerous venue improvements, but also to elevate the circuit’s standing as a major national hub of motorsport businesses.

“Radical Motorsport is a much-admired and globally recognised manufacturer of sports racing cars, and I am delighted it has recognised the significant benefits of being based at one of the UK’s leading race circuits. With the addition of Radical Motorsport alongside a growing portfolio of businesses, and further developments planned at the estate, including the renovation of Donington Hall as an incredible mansion house hotel, the future for the site is looking very bright indeed.

“I extend a very warm welcome to Joe Anwyll and his team and look forward to seeing the completed facility very soon.”
