Following my decision last November to
take leave from the House to compete in the American Le Mans Series
of motor races, I have set up a Limited Liability Partnership,
Drayson Motor Racing LLP (DMR) as the commercial vehicle to run
the race team in a joint venture with Barwell Motorsport Limited;
Drayson-Barwell. This joint venture has now ceased (February
2009).
DMR LLP will compete in 2009 in the American, European and Asian
Le Mans Series starting in March under the team name "Drayson
Racing". The team's new website is www.draysonracing.com.
Drayson Racing is an Official Partner Team of Aston Martin
Racing (Prodrive) the organisation that build the Aston Martin
race cars that I will race this year.
My wife and I own DMR 100% and are the only Partners.
The purpose of DMR is to fund the purchase and the development
of the Le Mans race car and to fund the testing and race programme.
The funding for DMR will be initially from share capital invested
by us. We will attract sponsors to support the programme who
will provide funding in return for rights to market their brand
names on the car and in team merchandise etc. The ownership and
purpose of DMR remain unchanged
Drayson Motor Racing LLP announced on 19 August 2009 additional technical partnerships with Lola Cars International Ltd, Engine Developments Ltd (Judd Engines) and Motul Lubricants to pursue an LMP1 race programme in the Le Mans Series for 2009/10.
