Race across Europe: Revolution announces 2027 Equipe Sports Prototype Arrive and Drive offer after dominant Algarve finale

  • The race-winning Revolution 500 EVO, 427 and new HyperSport offer three routes into the fast-growing Equipe Sports Prototype series

  • Arrive-and-drive packages available for the 2027 campaign

  • LMP3-level performance proven by 500 EVO

  • HyperSport delivers relentless pace on its debut


Revolution Race Cars heads into the 2027 Equipe Sports Prototype season on the back of a commanding performance at the series’ season finale at Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, where its cars took centre stage across the weekend.


Both Greaham Hofmans and Joaquim Penteado secured race wins in the Revolution 500 EVO, while James Abbott added a podium finish in the HyperSport after a sensational opening race that saw the nimble HyperSport battling with the more powerful 500 EVO for the lead.


It was a fitting end to a season in which Revolution machinery had been a regular front-runner, with Eitan Zidkilov and Jude Peters also taking 500 EVO victories during a closely fought 2026 campaign.


That form sets the scene for 2027, when Revolution will offer drivers the opportunity to compete in either the proven 500 EVO, 427 or the new HyperSport in the Equipe Sports Prototype series, through outright purchase or a fully supported arrive and drive package.



The series brings together a multi-marque field of sports prototypes at some of the UK's leading circuits, combining close racing with the customer support and paddock hospitality for which Equipe is known. Its 2027 calendar also includes a return to the Algarve, giving competitors the opportunity to race at the undulating F1 track where Revolution enjoyed such a successful end to the 2026 season.


For drivers who want to compete without the commitment and practical demands of running their own car, Revolution offers an arrive and drive package that provides a straightforward route onto the grid. The approach is designed to take care of the major demands of race preparation and weekend support, with a dedicated car and professional trackside assistance allowing drivers to concentrate on getting the most from their racing.


The 500 EVO is an established race winner in the series, as its 2026 results demonstrate. The HyperSport adds another option, bringing a further step in performance and a perfect opportunity for drivers looking to progress from GT or saloon car racing to have the first taste of prototype racing. Together, the two models give competitors a choice of performance and budget, while retaining the benefits of factory-backed support.


Nigel Redwood, Managing Director, Revolution Race Cars: “It's particularly satisfying to finish the 2026 season so strongly at Portimao. The results underline what the 500 EVO can deliver in this competitive field. James's podium in the HyperSport debut was equally encouraging, lapping in 1.46.2, an incredible two seconds faster than the world finals record for the similarly-priced Radical SR3 XXR. For those wanting the ultimate level of performance, the 500 EVOs 1.43.8 lap record would have put it in the top eight of last month’s Le Mans Cup Pro-Am LMP3 grid. This proves that Revolution is delivering serious performance in the most accessible package.


“For 2027, we want to make it as straightforward as possible for drivers to experience prototype racing with Revolution. Whether they choose to buy a car or take the arrive and drive route, they can benefit from our experience and support, and focus on enjoying their racing. With both the 500 EVO, 427 and HyperSport available, there is now more choice for drivers looking to join the series or take the next step. With our cars also eligible for other European championships such as the Supercar Challenge and Trophée Tourisme Endurance, we can also add rounds at iconic circuits such as Zandvoort, Assen or Magny-Cours for drivers looking to race internationally.”
