Adrian Reynard formed a very effective working partnership with friend and Formula Ford rival Rick Gorne, who looked after the sales and commercial side of the business.
Reynard were also involved with various special projects; the first competition versions of the Panoz Esperante, the Dodge Stratus touring car, the highly successful Dodge Viper GTS-R GT car and an unraced and highly innovative LNG gas-turbine powered hybrid sports prototype for Chrysler known as the Patriot.
Outside motorsport, in the 1990s the company became involved in a project to build lightweight carbon-fibre airline seats for Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic.
It is unlikely that the putative 1992 Reynard would have been a significant success even had the money been available to develop it - the only works engine the team could obtain was the Yamaha unit that subsequently gave Jordan Grand Prix so much trouble that year.
[1] Toward the late 1990s Reynard was primarily involved in CART, Formula Nippon and Barber Dodge racing series.
The company also opened an R&D facility in Indianapolis called the Auto Research Center (ARC) under the guidance of Bruce Ashmore.
Reynard worked in partnership with West Surrey Racing to design and build Ford Mondeo chassis for the British Touring Car Championship from 1996 to 1998.
WSR was running the works Ford programme, and ran the race team while Reynard handled the technical side.
[2] Following an aborted IPO on the New York Stock Exchange and the costly purchase of Riley & Scott, the company was bankrupted in February 2002.
KWM supplied a range of engineering consultancy services in Champ Car and Le Mans Series including the design of the Nasamax, Protran and Creation Autosportif chassis that are based on Reynard's original products.
In 2009, engineering director Andre Brown announced that the Reynard Racing Cars brand would return with a road-legal sportscar.
