Richards on Prodrive's new Dakar challenge

With a stunning success record in motorsport, Prodrive is targeting a new crown by entering the 2021 Dakar Rally. David Richards provides an update on the programme, how COVID has slowed its plans and its options on who sits behind the wheel of its new car

Prodrive has a rich and illustrious history in motorsport. The British company's Subaru Imprezas were successful in the 1990s and early 2000s, and helped make Colin McRae and Richard Burns World Rally champions.

Earlier this year Prodrive announced that it had joined forces with the Kingdom of Bahrain to develop a new car to contest the 2021 Dakar Rally.
