yep I always thought GPR was hugely over priced. No great loss.

Grand Prix Racewear is recognised as the Harrods of motorsport
I may be repeating myself, but we don't want a Harrods, selling overpriced sh!te to people with more money than sense, some (in fact, probably most) of us might actually spend a little more money, a little more regularly, if we didn't feel we were being ripped off for 'motorsport' products.
Got a statue of Diana and Dodie then?

I can't say I found them overpriced. Though the last time I used them I was still instructing at Silverstone, and they gave me a good deal.

If I ever needed bits on a race-day, they were there.

That just leaves Demon Theives as the big on-line do-everything sales outlet.

I knew ppl that worked at gpr, they went into administrations and the tt minshaw was having trouble with tweeks and pulled his money out of gpr, then short of cash it becomes hard to pay suppliers, a company called pkf are sorting out any old orders from before xmas, its the birmingham branch that needs to be contacted, Martin Hines has brought it and is going to focus on the race wear side and be the best out there, so unfortunately most of the hardware parts are going out to other members of staff that have started on their own, tilton and msd will now be sold by a company called competition supplies still on the circuit, the brembo brakes will be sold on the circuit as well by mode performance.
the range of race wear that will be sold will be reduced but they will be stocking them properly so every size in every colour except special order parts, there is a press release on the website www.gprdirect.com explaining everything and the suppliers they will be dealing with, hope this helps everyone
