Our small pink Citroën C1 finished 50th out of 63 cars at Race of Remembrance. A small contact on Saturday night cost us around an hour, but car 304 made it to the flag. Now we’re looking forward to 2027.
A 1.0-litre C1. Four drivers at Anglesey. Now looking forward to 2027.
Propel Motorsport started with a father and son, one C1, and the most patient pit crew in the family. Now the team is growing.
C1 endurance is the best racing bargain in the UK: near-identical ~68 bhp Citroën C1s, grids the size of Le Mans, and races that run three hours to twenty-four. Speed is capped; craft isn't. That's the appeal.
We completed the Snetterton double header in September and Race of Remembrance at Anglesey in November. William Buckley, Joe Fletcher, Iain Thomson and Guillaume Le Meur shared car 304 at Anglesey, with Richard Buckley as team manager. Next comes preparing for the 2027 season.
