The Nürburgring 24 Hours shouldn’t work, but it does. Across 25.378 km and more than 150 corners, the weather can change corner to corner, lap to lap. 161 cars, GT3s to road derived machines, all on one track. Tight pits, shared boxes, handheld fuel pumps. This weekend, Verstappen’s debut will draw lots of attention, but the competition is fierce. 49 front running cars packed with works drivers and Nordschleife specialists. Fans are already filling the forests, turning the Nordschleife into a motorsport city. This is endurance racing at its rawest, where any lap can bring drama.

Behind every component that leaves our machine shop is the judgement and craft of our #ProdrivePeople. Alongside advanced 5-axis CNC technology, some parts are still shaped using methods that have defined engineering for generations. Known as the “mother of machine tools”, the lathe still earns its place on the shop floor, valued for its precision and control. From multi-axis machining to hands-on processes, each step plays its part in delivering the speed, strength and reliability our programmes depend on. #WorkshopWednesdsay #PerformanceUnlimited

A quick bit of motorsport geography to start this #MotorsportWeekend. @GTWorldChAUS heads to @thebend_msp, named after nearby town Tailem Bend. Tailem is from the Ngarrindjeri word “thelim”, meaning bend, so yes, it could be called “Bend Bend”. Feels like the perfect place for a circuit. @OfficialWRC is returning to Portugal. 25 years ago, the 2001 edition was brutal, two thirds of the field retired, with Richard Burns opening his points tally with fourth place. Going on to win the title that year, we will be celebrating Richard and his title at Classic Nostalgia in July. Elsewhere, @gtworldcham is at @sebringraceway, whilst @FIAWEC heads to @circuitspa for the 6 Hours, with Legends of Le Mans alongside. 📺: WEC: go.prodrive.com/FIAWEC WRC: wrc.com/en/misc/broadc… GTWC: @GTWorld/streams" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@GTWorld/strea… 🎟️ Classic Nostalgia tickets: go.prodrive.com/ClassicNostalg… #WRC #RallydePortugal #FIAWEC #SpaFrancorchamps #GTWorld #GTWorldAmerica #Sebring #GTWorldAustralia #TheBend #ShellVPowerMotorsportPark @shelsleywalsh #ClassicNostalgia 📸: @thebend_msp | @prodrive | @sebringraceway | @michelescd

Hypercars live in the margins. When aero loads are immense, and responses are measured in fractions of a second, there is no room for inconsistency. Quality control is not a tick box for us; it is the standard that runs through everything we build. It is the care in every check, and the discipline to treat every system as if it has to be perfect, because it does. #WorkshopWednesday #ActiveAero #aerodynamics #PerformanceUnlimited

The @dakar 2027 route is out, and it’s a big one. 5,320 km of special stages, the longest of the Saudi era, plus more variety in terrain. Two marathon stages, with stages 11 and 12 looking like the place where the rally could be won or lost. We cannot wait to take it on with our customer teams from 1 January 2027. Watch the presentation replay here: go.prodrive.com/Dakar2027 #Dakar2027 #DakarInSaudi

This weekend is one of the motorsport weekends when you don’t know where to look next. But if you want to fall in love with motorsport all over again then you can’t do any better than Donington Historic Festival. National circuit, paddock open all weekend, and hundreds of cars spanning the eras, from pre war racers to modern GTs. It is proper motorsport theatre, up close and unapologetically loud. Also on this weekend are F1 Miami GP, Formula E Berlin E-Prix, IMSA at Laguna Seca, GTWC Europe at Brands Hatch, GTWC Asia at Mandalika, ELMS and Le Mans Cup at Paul Ricard, Super GT at Fuji Speedway. Take you pick and watch via the links below: Donington Historic Festival: @motorracinglegends/streams" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@motorracingle… F1® Broadcast Information formula1.com/en/information… Formula E: fiaformulae.com/en/ways-to-wat… GTWC: @GTWorld/streams" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@GTWorld/strea… ELMS: youtube.com/c/EuropeanLeMa… Le Mans Cup: @LeMansCup" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@LeMansCup IMSA: @imsaofficial/streams" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@imsaofficial/… SUPER GT: @SUPERGTOfficialChannel" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@SUPERGTOffici… 📸: @mracinglegends | @JakobEbrey

Today we welcomed a group from @BowraFoundation to Prodrive. They joined us for a full tour, taking in the places where race and rally cars are designed, built and prepared, plus the workshops and specialist areas that make it all happen, from fabrication and wiring, to assembly and our Powertrain Development Centre. Not to mention seeing our Heritage Collection up close and testing themselves in our Racing Simulator. It was a pleasure to open the doors and share what we do, with a group focused on helping former service personnel find purpose through shared experiences and strong friendships. If you fancy seeing Prodrive from the inside, tours can be booked here: go.prodrive.com/Tours #PerformanceUnlimited #ProdriveTours

We are still buzzing after yesterday’s Scramble. There can be hustle and bustle, but there’s always time for a proper conversation. It was great to listen in as Dan Prosser and @Andrew_Frankel from @theintercoolerx sat down with Prodrive Chairman David Richards to talk about cars, competition, and the ideas that sit behind a lifetime in motorsport. With the backdrop of David’s @OfficialWRC-winning Ford Escort Mk II sat just outside, it was a great start to the day. Elsewhere, people could get up close to the Honda BAR 006 Formula 1 car. Two vastly different cars, but with the same obsession and attention to detail. If you look closely at the Honda’s rear wing, and you can find each team member’s name. A small reminder that behind every big result are many people who put in the hard work to make it all real. Thanks to @Wearescramblers and Bicester Motion for another fantastic Sunday. See you in October. #wearescramblers 📸: @ourmotorsportuk | Scramble | @prodrive

Another truly glorious day at Goodwood. Special mention to Anthony Reid in the Prodrive built Ford Mondeo Super Touring Car and congratulations to Rob Huff in the Vauxhall who took the title today. The cars this weekend have been fantastic, but it's the people that have made the weekend so special. #83MM

Today we look forward to the Shootout final. Yesterday's exciting qualification session certainly proved the drivers haven’t lost any of their competitive spirit! The paddock is already warming up, final adjustments for another packed day of racing. #83MM

Seeing the Super Touring cars back on track is a proper reminder of how quick, loud, and busy this era looked at its peak in the late 1990s. Practice was just that, but these drivers and these cars still have it. Qualifying is where it gets serious. #83MM

Precision wins everywhere this weekend, over the kerbs, up against walls, or door mirror to door mirror. At @autodromoimola, @FIAWEC opens its season on the iconic circuit where lap time comes from riding the kerbs properly to gain time whilst getting decisions right across six hours of traffic and strategy. Over in Long Beach, @IMSA teams will be tackling concrete walls and narrow exits, where calm execution beats overcommitment as mistakes carry a high cost when the track limits are solid. Back in the UK, the @BTCC season launches at @DoningtonParkUK with racing as intense as ever, with door mirrors inches apart from the first lap. And down at @GoodwoodMC, that same touring car DNA takes centre stage as Super Touring cars return to the Members Meeting, with live demonstrations and a timed Shootout reminding everyone where the culture came from. Follow the links in bio to watch the racing live. #MotorsportWeekend #WEC #Imola #IMSA #LongBeachGP #BTCC #83MM 📸: @Heart_Of_Racing @BTCC @GoodwoodRRC

After thirteen days and five thousand kilometres, Thursday saw one last push back to Jeddah. The Badawi Trail saved its last moments for celebration. Mountains gave way to desert, and sand found its way into every seam, but the Ritz Carlton courtyard became the finish line for an adventure only a few experience. Among the arrivals were the Hero-ERA 1 and Hero-ERA 2, purpose built by Prodrive for such events. Prepared for endurance, driven with restraint and resolve, the Hero ERA 2 signed off in style, winning its category with father and son Xavier de Sarrau and Lucas de Sarrau at the helm. A fitting end to a rally defined by heat, hospitality, hardship, and camaraderie. This is what these events offer. Remote roads rarely seen by outsiders. Long days that test machinery and mindset. Evenings shared with crews who start as competitors and finish as friends. You can experience it yourself. Commission your own car, or book the Hero ERA 1 which is part of Hero ERA's Arrive and Drive fleet, fully prepared and waiting for the next adventure. For more info head to go.prodrive.com/HeroERA Some journeys are measured in distance. The best ones are measured in stories. #HeroERA #BadawiTrail #ClassicRally #AdventureDriving #ClassicCars 📸 @broadhead_photo
