Motorsport UK chairman David Richards is pushing to make motorsport in the United Kingdom more accessible for younger people in a bid to “safeguard” the future of the sport.

Motor Sports Association chairman Dave Richards believes Formula 1 lost technological relevance when it switched to V6 hybrid engines in 2014.

Starting with just enough employees to surround one lunch table, Prodrive has gone on to reach unimaginable heights in the space of three decades.

It is being rumoured within the Formula 1 paddock that both Prodrive and Epsilon Euskadi could be granted slots on the 2010 starting grid, depending upon the fate of BMW-Sauber.

N.Technology has withdrawn its application for a slot on the 2010 F1 World Championship starting grid, blaming the FIA's 'highly questionable process' of selection, 'wrong actions' and 'objectionable management methods' that it contends have 'undermined the sport as a whole' - and along with Prod

Barely a year on from his withdrawal from a sport he emotionally described as 'a piranha club', Aguri Suzuki has revealed that Super Aguri could be in-line for a shock return to competition in the top flight in Formula 1's new 'low-cost' era in 2010.

Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello may have sensationally locked out the front row of the starting grid for this weekend's season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne and Richard Branson's Virgin Group may have come on-board as a significant sponsor, but the honeymoon could already be ove

Amidst all the media hype surrounding the rising from the ashes of what was Honda of Brawn GP, little is still known about the fate of Nick Fry - the man who for much of the sale process was believed to be at the forefront of the management buy-out.

Lola has responded with anger to comments made by Aston Martin boss David Richards over the LMP1 racing programme in place for the 2009 season.

Whilst re-iterating that it would not be 'financially viable' for Prodrive to enter Formula 1 in 2009 by taking over the defunct Honda operation, David Richards is adamant that 'one day' he will be back in the top flight - when the conditions are right.

The blame for the withdrawal of both Subaru and Suzuki from the World Rally Championship at the end of last year can be laid squarely at the feet of organisers the FIA, argues David Richards.

Prodrive is the latest motorsport company to announce redundancies, it has been revealed - as the company reels from Subaru's withdrawal from the World Rally Championship and as many as 600 job losses at Aston Martin.

Whilst David Richards' independent Prodrive operation appears to have dropped out of the running and rumours surrounding TELMEX telecommunications tycoon Carlos Slim proved to be entirely unfounded, Crash.net understands that there is another bidder who is extremely serious about the purch

David Richards has admitted that everybody was taken by surprise when Subaru announced it was pulling out of the World Rally Championship last month - but he also revealed he is hopeful the manufacturer may one day return.

David Richards, the chairman of Prodrive, says there was no warning given that Subaru was planning to pull the plug on its World Rally Championship programme.

Subaru's unexpected decision to withdraw from the World Rally Championship could be the catalyst for the man behind its success to return to Formula One by buying up the Honda team which took a similar decision two weeks ago.

Only a day after Suzuki revealed it would pull out of the World Rally Championship, Subaru has announced that it will follow suit and quit the sport ahead of the 2009 season.

David Richards has said that he 'disagrees' with those who claim Honda's moribund Formula 1 team is 'an attractive proposition', as it has emerged that he is the favourite to purchase and take over the squad ahead of the 2009 season.

Subaru World Rally Team boss David Richards has predicted that the Banbury-based outfit will be just as competitive as arch rivals Ford and Citroen by the end of this year.
