Riley & Scott’s legacy goes back to the Ford GT Mk IV and Coyote, so when it came time to produce a new prototype for international sport car racing they were up to the challenge. R & S MkIII’s went on to forge a legacy of winning that is only equaled by the legendary Porsche 962.
The Dyson team commissioned R&S to produce 001 in 1994 with a Ford powerplant. The chassis proceeded to win over ten races for the Dyson team including the 1997 Rolex 24 hours of Daytona and runner up in the 12 hours of Sebring and the Prototype championship. The car remained a front runner until 2001 when it was retired after leading Daytona. It is believed that 001 had led more laps at Daytona than any other car in history.
Drivers have included: James Weaver, Andy Wallace, Elliot Forbes-Robinson, Rob Dyson, Hurley Haywood and Derrick Bell
