Les, Nik and Richard Johnson, Ancaster Leisure, Van Diemen Sports 2000 agents; July 2005:
“We have found an absolute gem in Pride Engineering; their attitude is something we thought had gone from business forever, they care. Neil, Jo and their team are efficient, competent, value for money and above all, always willing to help. We would without reservation recommend anyone to this company.”
- Mike Turner, Sports 2000 competitor; July 2005; July 2005:
“Pride Engines offer an unbeatable combination of experience, attention to detail and first class support whatever your engine requirements. It is a real pleasure to deal with a company who offer such an excellent product together with such friendly and consistent service. I have no hesitation in recommending Pride Engines to competitors looking for real value and expertise.”
- Ian Bamsey, Race Engine Technology; June 2006:
“In addition to the above engines and the Hart 1030 V10, at the time of our visit Pride was fettling a 1958, 2.5 litre, four cylinder Coventry Climax FPF and a 1963, 1.5 litre V8 BRM. A veritable feast of racing engines was on display, indicating the high regard in which the company is held by the motorsport community.”
- Gary Stevens, Hill Climb competitor; September 2006:
“I have just completed a full season in Hill Climb Super Sports with a Mallock Mk21/24b, entered in the Powermec Hill Climb Leaders Championship and the Midland Hill Climb Championship. The engine is an all steel 1700cc cross flow, which underwent a full rebuild at Pride Race Engineering at the start of the season.
I have no hesitation in strongly recommending the team at Pride; from the start I very much appreciated the level of involvement and feedback I was given throughout the rebuild period. The work was completed on time and inside budget. Throughout the season they have taken great interest in the performance of the car and proactively sort feedback from myself after every meeting. this has added greatly to the enjoyment of a successful season.
The season’s results have been excellent in what is considered to be one of the most competitive classes in Hill Climbing. Class Winner and Third Overall in the Powermec Leaders Hill Climb Championship; Class Winner in the Midland Hill Climb Championship.”
- Matt Manderson, GT, Sports 2000 and Sports prototype driver; Honda Racing F1 Team Employee; September 2006:
“Since discovering Pride Race Engineering Ltd in late 2004, I soon came to realise that I needn’t look any further for my race engine building requirements. From general rebuilds to special projects and electronics the Pride team are without doubt the most caring and eager to help company I have come across.
Where others just supply engines and let you get on with it, Pride offer an exceptional customer service that sees at least one member of the team present at the events that their engines are competing at, as well as installation advice before the car even runs!
On-going customer backup is always given and development ideas offered without asking.
Using all the experience gained over years of fierce competition in many classes have allowed Pride the luxury of being able to improve on what most have taken for granted as being the best.
I have seen motors built and run on their dyno producing power over and above the best figures seen by other engine builders. This is I am sure due to the meticulous way in which each and every engine is built. It makes no difference if it is a Ford X Flow or a V10 Formula One engine. The exact same care is taken to build both.
The Electronics arm of Pride is equally capable of designing and manufacturing Formula One quality looms but at an affordable price.
Without Pride’s dedication and commitment to winning I would not have been able to compete in the last two seasons.
I very much look forward to using Pride Engines and Electronics in the years to come.
Pride by name. Pride by nature. Thank you.”
