THE REVOLUTION MIGHT BE TELEVISED

Revolution Race Cars was founded in 2018 by Phil Abbott, who had previously co-founded and built Radical into a company that sold more than 2000 race cars from its inception in 1997 to his departure 20 years later.

Revolution has a way to go before it can match those numbers: it employs six people and currently has its 28th car in build. But with an order for 10 more having just come in from the

US and growing grids for the Sports Prototype Cup Series in which they race, it seems likely that Revolution will soon be following the likes of Radical and Praga in launching its own one-make race series.

“Adding the supercharger really has transformed the car,” Abbott says. “It’s not just far more powerful, because the supercharger builds boost as the revs rise, it’s also easier to manage than a turbo installation.”
