Talk
An evening with Dave Richards
October 23, 2025
David Richards CBE first gained prominence in motorsport by navigating Ari Vatanen to the World Rally Championship in 1981. Dave then established ProDrive which, over 40 years, has won events and championships across multiple motorsport disciplines including rallying, touring cars, Le Mans and Dakar. Colin McRae and Richard Burns both drove ProDrive cars to World Rally Championship success. In 1998 Dave became chief executive of the Benetton Formula One team and later was brought in to run the BAR Formula One team, guiding it to second place in the 2004 Formula One constructors championship, driven by Jenson Button. Dave continues to oversee ProDrive automotive and engineering projects, and combines this with chairing the Board of Motorsport UK. We look forward to a fascinating evening with one of the most influential individuals in world motorsport.
