Engineering Services



PILGRIM MOTORSPORTS is constantly evolving in resources and in-house engineering. Paul Burgess, our Chief Development Engineer, has been involved in numerous projects within the motorsport sector, working for Lotus, Tyrrell, McLaren and more. When his chassis and suspension design won the Indy 500, he achieved worldwide recognition. He was then honoured with the Louis Schwitzer Prize in 2000.

We use a network of approved suppliers selected for their world-class motorsport components and specialist services. We can develop and prepare any car for any purpose. Please call Paul Burgess to discuss your project.



Our List of Engineering Services Include:


    VEHICLE EVALUATION & ASSESSMENT (CLASSIC, ROAD OR RACE CAR)

    • Report on identity, condition and integrity of components and assemblies – evaluation of chassis structure and bodywork. Estimation of costs for recommission or restoration.

    PROJECT MANAGEMENT (DESIGN & BUILD – RESTORATION - UPGRADE)

    • From concept to creation – whether a one-off creation, a restoration, or a custom upgrade – projects can be managed from both an engineering and budgetary prospective.

    3D CAD DESIGN & ENGINEERING

    • All component design and drawing creation is done using Automotive Industry standard 3D CAD to produce both solid and surface models and assemblies.

    RE-ENGINEERING & RE-PRODUCTION OF OBSOLETE COMPONENTS

    • Obsolete, damaged or unobtainable components can be scanned, measured and modelled in 3D CAD and remanufactured to original or improved standards

    SUSPENSION DESIGN & ANALYSIS

    • Existing suspension assemblies can be measured, modelled and analysed using a bespoke suspension analysis software package.
    • Camber angle, Castor, KPI, Roll centre height and lateral movement, Camber gain, Spring and Damper travel and rate, Anti dive & Anti Squat geometries can be evaluated.
    • New or upgraded suspension geometry can be formulated and analysed and components designed and manufactured.

    PROTOTYPE & SMALL BATCH MANUFACTURE & ASSEMBLY

    • Any prototype parts or assemblies can be CAD modelled, 3D printed, machined, fabricated, moulded, assembled and tested.

    PATTERN, MOULD & COMPONENT MANUFACTURE

    • New body or component pattern files can be produced from CAD surface models – or existing components can be scanned to create CAD surface files. Patterns can then be CNC machined for moulds to be produced from or direct moulds can be machined.

    ROAD & TRACK SET-UP

    • Vehicles can be ‘set up’ for road or track use.
    • Spring rates checked, Dampers dyno checked, Ride heights set, Toe-in, Camber and Castor adjusted.
    • Corner weights and cross weight checked and adjusted.
    • Anti-roll bar and suspension linkages adjusted to give optimum low stiction performance.

    PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING UPGRADES

    • Aftermarket upgrade kits can be fitted.
    • Bespoke upgrades can be defined and sourced.

    RACE PREPARATION

    • Modern, Classic or Historic race cars can be prepared and repaired.

    Experts in manufacturing one-off vehicles, we are happy to undertake movie vehicles, TV vehicles, and advertising campaign specials. We work closely with the DVSA and the DVLA to make these vehicles road-legal if required.
