The History of Grand Prix Racewear & Rallynuts Motorsport
We have been trading in the Motorsport industry since 1992 and have been involved in everything from preparing race and rally cars, to on-event service and management, through to supplying international race and rally teams with products and services. Our business has evolved into a specialist retail, e-commerce and mail order company that serves customers from around the World on a daily basis. The business was originally founded by Nick James and operated from various locations over 23 years in beautiful Cornwall, down in the far South West of the UK.
2014 saw Rallynuts become Rallynuts Limited and the company made it’s final move within Cornwall, to much larger premises, where space allowed for easier and clearer operations, which made running the business more efficient and enjoyable. After around 16 months at the new location, an even more exciting development was just around the corner, in reality something that the company would have benefitted from many years ago, but not without major changes to the founder and his family’s way of life….
2015 became the year that Rallynuts Limited bid a fond farewell to Cornwall and made the 250 mile move up to the Midlands. On the 20th of October 2015, the newly formed company Rallynuts Motorsport Limited, took over the operation, from its new home in Redditch, which for those who don’t know it, is just below Birmingham in the heart of the Industrial Midlands area of the UK. The company now owned by Paul Bonas, who is supported by a team of people, all working together to enable Rallynuts to grow and transform into the place to source all the products you need, for your rallying and motorsport requirements.
We have proudly sponsored the Rallynuts Stages Rally since 2016, and in 2024, we were thrilled to sponsor the Hills Ford Stages Rally for the first time. Giving back to the sport is hugely important to us. With much of the team coming from the racing or rallying world, sponsoring events and being involved in events helps to keep us connected to our customers and the industry we love.
