DPR Customers on the Pace

Whilst winning an individual race requires luck as well as skill, winning a championship requires consistent pace lap after lap in every race. At DPR we pay attention to all aspects of car and driver preparation ensuring 100% attention to engineering detail and effective driver coaching and support.

The lap record table below shows that 2012 was a record breaking year in all respects reflecting the increased emphasis on car and driver performance. Two-thirds (Sixteen from twenty-five) of the new lap records for 2012 in the table below were set by DPR customers. In each grid, the majority of the new lap records were set by DPR customers. Our thanks go to all of our customers who have supported our technical approach to Caterham motorsport. It is pleasing to see the results across all steps of the motorsport ladder.
