Car 304

A shopping trolley,
weaponised.

Every C1 on the grid starts life as someone's runabout. Ours is a 2009 five-door Citroën C1, mid-transformation into an endurance race car: cage in, interior out, and a wrap that needs sunglasses.

Impossible to miss.

Our five-door C1 in its Propel Motorsport wrap: the roaring lion on the roof, yellow 304s on the glass and the Silverlake banners.

Why a C1

Everyone's equal.
Nobody's safe.

  • Sealed, near-stock engines: you can't buy speed, you have to drive it.
  • Control suspension, brakes and tyres: set-up craft over chequebook.
  • Full safety build: welded cage, race seat, harness, fuel safety, fire system.
  • Endurance formats: 3 hours to 24, with mandatory pit stops and driver swaps.
  • Enormous grids: the Silverstone 24h has run nearly 100 C1s at once.

Safety & systems

Race seat, harness, electrical cut-off, fire suppression, and the data logger wired in with its three wires.

Wrap & shakedown

The telemagenta moment, then a test day to find out what we've built, before Snetterton in September.

The livery

Telemagenta. Deliberately.

In a 40-car pack, three hours in, commentators talk about the car they can name at a glance. Pop-art panels, halftone bursts, and a colour nobody else would dare. Sponsor logos get the same treatment: loud, legible, everywhere the cameras look.
