In a ground-breaking move, 24-7 Motorsport has recently inked a significant deal with Revolution Race Cars, marking the inception of the first UK-based factory-certified race team.
This partnership signifies a new chapter for both entities as they look to increase Revolutions footprint in the Sports Prototype Cup and other qualifying series across Europe.
Revolution Race Cars, with its desire to expand the presence of Revolutions in the European racing scene, has strategically sought out the right race teams to run Revolutions in Europe, making 24-7 Motorsport a key player in their vision for growth.
