Summary

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by RML's Michael Mallock. If you're a race team or an automotive OEM with a problem, maybe you can hire RML... if you can find them. The Northamptonshire engineering powerhouse has run high-profile motorsport campaigns in touring cars and endurance racing for decades, built extraordinary one-offs for car makers and helped behind the scenes to solve their trickiest problems too.

Nowadays, RML is also producing its own vehicles for customers , such as the Short Wheelbase, a Ferrari 250 GT SWB homage, and the P39, a track-focused version of the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Michael explains what RML does, how the company got started in the 1980s, and what he sees coming around the corner.
