Bespoke solutions for off-circuit racing challenges
Ricardo operates on a confidential basis with some of the top teams in World Rally Championship (WRC) for the design, development and manufacture of transmissions and differentials.
Ricardo’s extensive knowledge and history in World Rally Championships, Rally Raid and Dakar supports the capability to quickly understand customer requirements and deliver a bespoke, cost effective, robust transmission for some of the harshest environments.
Due to the demands of off-circuit racing, many of Ricardo’s Rally and Off-Road customers choose to take advantage of Ricardo’s extensive in-house 4WD and 2WD testing facilities and validation engineers to prove out concepts and prototypes before committing to the final design.
Ricardo has highly competitive and well-developed offerings for various rallying competitions such as the World Rally Championships (WRC), Rally Raid and Dakar. We also service solutions for support categories including R5.
