Drive-Pro is first and foremost the independent MINI dealer for Prodrive in France, the 'Concessionaire Prodrive', led by Corsican entrepreneur François Padrona.
Based at the Pole Mécanique facility in Alès-Cevennes in the south of France, Team Drive-Pro exists to provide a racing platform from which to promote the vehicles it is selling within the French market, namely the esteemed MINI brand.
The company operates a two-fold approach to its rally business by offering MINIs for sale or rent within France, providing a complete service to each and all of its customers through its Managing Director François Padrona and Technical Director Joseph Lanfranchi.
Both Padrona and Lanfranchi are shareholders of the company and are able to transfer a keen and passionate enthusiasm for rallying into a successful and thriving business enterprise.
In order to strengthen their overall offering to clients and customers, Drive-Pro has formed a joint venture with professional racing team SMG, founded by racing driver Philippe Gache, for the provision of services to support the company's expanding motorsport business.
This milestone joint venture with SMG will give an added dimension to the company's track support and operations, seeing Drive-Pro moving into SMG's state-of-the-art premises in Frejus, south of France.
