 Ex-Reynard Men Form New Company Thursday May 23rd, 2002
Ex-BAR team manager Robert Synge, Peter McCool, Mike Millward and Mark Smithson founded Apollo Racing Design Limited, a design consultancy specialising in carbon composite design and manufacture. The four have past experience with companies such as Courtaulds, British Aerospace and McLaren International. With Reynard Motorsport now in liquidation, Apollo Racing Design said it already secured several high-profile contracts that had previously been serviced by the Brackley-based company, including the manufacture of carbon monocoques for Japanese Formula Nippon and the official carbon safety-cell seats for the American NASCAR series. "We have taken the opportunity to acquire some significant business from what was Reynard's portfolio," explains Synge, who will serve as managing director of the new firm. "We have already employed ten of the best former Reynard technicians with proven proficiency in ChampCar, Formula Nippon and other major motor sport programmes. Their skills will not only guarantee excellent service to our new clients but will also give us the potential to provide the wider automotive industry with composite material expertise in the future."
