DRIVERS

THE ONES BEHIND THE WHEEL

Proton R3 can engineer and build the best possible Proton Race and Rally Car, but the final element that completes the team in the heat of competition, is “The Driver”. They are the final difference between victory and defeat on the track.

Proton R3 Race and Rally drivers have varied backgrounds and experiences, representing a balance of experience and youth. The key factor that unites them all is their passion for winning under the toughest conditions possible. Proton R3 competition vehicles can give them the edge they need to deliver results against the competition.
