PRO-SET® Epoxy is delighted to announce its partnership with Revolution Race Cars. The collaboration supports the manufacture of the latest production model, the 500 EVO, which is competing internationally in the mixed prototype series.
This collaboration demonstrates PRO-SET® Epoxy’s position at the forefront of automotive innovation, proven through its performance in demanding motorsport environments.
Wessex Resins & Adhesives will be exhibiting at the Advanced Engineering Show on 29th – 30th October on Stand U180. Come and visit to see advanced composite and bespoke automotive made pieces built using PRO-SET® Epoxy.
About the 500 EVO
The UK-manufactured Revolution 500 EVO is engineered for uncompromised performance and safety. It is lightweight, powerful, delivering 500+ BHP from a V6 engine. Importantly, it provides the highest levels of protection fitted with the world’s first double halo system. The performance package is further enhanced by some of the lowest running costs in its class, with proven reliability shown by intervals of up to 10,000 km or 100 hours between engine rebuilds. The car’s unique exhaust system and fine engine tuning deliver an ultra-sharp throttle response and a brilliant soundtrack.
The construction of the 500 EVO utilises advanced infusion processes, a technique widely used in the marine sector to build lightweight, strong and durable composite structures.
Designed for low level maintenance and running costs, the 500 EVO offers accessible handling and performance that can be enjoyed by all levels of driver. From those wishing to enjoy track days to those on a professional career path to Le Mans, the car is engineered to perform around track circuits.
The core of the 500 EVO is a complete carbon monocoque, manufactured in-house to meet FIA certified safety standards and torsional stiffness targets. Achieving such high levels of mechanical performance made material selection critical.
“Alongside the specific reinforcements, we needed an epoxy system capable of matching those demands. This is where David and the team at Wessex Resins & Adhesives provided real collaboration, providing the technical expertise that enabled us to reach our goals.” Says Nigel Redwood, Managing Director at Revolution Race Cars.
“PRO-SET® infusion systems give us the flexibility to tailor gel times to each component, ensuring excellent surface finish and part performance. This allows us to manufacture our complete in-house carbon monocoque to the highest standards demanded in motorsport.” Justin Coulson, Head of Procurement, Revolution Race Cars.
UK Manufacturing & Technical Alignment
Revolution Race Cars selected PRO-SET® Epoxy not only for its performance solutions but also because of its reputation.
“We chose PRO-SET® for several key reasons. First and foremost is the reputation the brand holds within the epoxy market. We have known and worked with David Johnson and the team for many years. The guidance made the transition from other epoxy manufacturers seamless. Since then, PRO-SET® has consistently stood out for its combination of quality, price, and technical support.
Equally important to us is that PRO-SET® epoxies are manufactured here in the UK. As a British company, we take pride in keeping the majority of our supply chain local, and PRO-SET® aligns perfectly with that commitment.
Our mission is to make cutting-edge technology and the highest safety standards accessible to the broader motorsport community, ensuring that innovation is not confined to the elite. Carbon fibre is essential to making this a reality. All top FIA-rated race series mandate carbon-fibre monocoques for the safety advantages they provide. All structural carbon components on a Revolution are manufactured in-house at Revolution, including the front wing, crash box, monocoque, floor, diffuser, and rear crash structure”. Says Nigel Redwood, Managing Director, Revolution Race Cars.

This partnership highlights a unified mission to advance manufacturing standards through high-performance technology.
“At PRO-SET®, we’re incredibly proud to collaborate with Revolution Race Cars and support their commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance and innovation. Their engineering precision and drive for excellence align perfectly with our high-performance epoxy systems, and it is a privilege to contribute to their development and testing programs.
As a sovereign UK manufacturer, we take great pride in supplying materials that are not only technically advanced but also reliably available and backed by local expertise. Revolution’s dedication to lightweight, high-strength composite solutions is an ideal showcase for what PRO-SET® can deliver, and we look forward to continuing this exciting partnership on into the future.” Says John Watson, Business Account Manager, Wessex Resins & Adhesives.
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Revolution Race Cars to supply PRO-SET® epoxies for manufacturing these incredible race machines.
