While looking for some new kartwear on a google search it brought up GPR, I thought they'd gone to the wall but I decided to have a look anyway. The website's been remodelled a bit and the message saying they weren't taking any orders has gone, a quick look on the "About Us" page brought up this:

GPR Website said:
In February 2009 the long-term future of one of the iconic names in British motorsport, Grand Prix Racewear (GPR), has been secured, following the aquisition of the company’s assets by Martin Hines.
So, it looks like they're back.

Let's hope that the reincarnation is better organised than the original was.
Very pleasant chaps, but they ran the business chaotically. When they went under a couple of months ago, I was still waiting for stuff that I had ordered two years previously.

yes This was alluded to in Mr Pye's column in last week's Autospite. Let's hope he can make a go of it, Luke's hairdresser's bills aren't going to pay themselves hehe
