Spice

Spice Engineering was a British company that produced racing cars, most notably for the Group C category, which was a class of endurance racing in the World Sportscar Championship.

Founded Spice Engineering was founded by Adrian and Peter Spice in 1980 in the United Kingdom. The company specialized in designing and building racing cars, primarily focusing on the endurance racing scene. Spice Engineering became particularly famous in the Group C category, a class of cars used in the World Sportscar Championship (WSC) and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

These cars were known for their high performance, advanced engineering, and distinctive aerodynamic designs. Spice cars were developed for endurance races, such as the Le Mans 24 Hours, and were designed to handle the long distances and high speeds required in these grueling events.

One of the most famous models was the Spice SE89C, a Group C sports prototype. The SE89C was designed to be competitive in endurance racing events like Le Mans.

With the decline of Group C racing in the early 1990s and changes in racing regulations, Spice Engineering also saw a decrease in opportunities within the World Sportscar Championship. The company shifted its focus toward producing cars for other racing series and providing engineering services.

Spice Engineering was also involved in other categories like Formula 3000, which was a stepping stone for many future Formula 1 drivers. Additionally, the company worked on designing and producing cars for various sports car racing series, making a mark on several different types of motorsports.
