Minister Racing Engines was established in 1974 by former racing driver David Minister, and was joined by Graham Fuller in 1976. Having competed successfully in the UK and Europe, using his self-tuned engines, David decided to stop driving and build engines for others. In the following years countless races and Championships were won using Minister Racing Engines.

Winners of those Championships and races were to become future motorsport legends, including Ayrton Senna, Roberto Moreno, Nigel Mansell, Mika Hakkinen, Derek Warwick, Pedro de la Rosa, etc.

With increasing success on the circuit Minister Racing Engines moved from a humble, pre-fab in Dartford, Kent to a new factory unit in Lordswood, Kent. This enabled the company to incorporate total race car preparation as a result of customer requests for a complete quality, preparation service.

In the early 90's Minister International was created alongside Minister Racing Engines as the racing team.  It achieved stunning success assisting the FE de A in creating the Racing for Spain programme, sponsored by Marlboro amongst others. The programme was created to nurture young Spanish drivers through the early stages of their career to reach international status.

The programme was very successful and current McLaren F1 Test Driver Pedro de la Rosa was a Formula Ford and double Formula Renault Champion with Minister International.   Other drivers in the programme also went on to international careers, in GT, Touring Car, Sports Car, World Series racing.

Minister International and Minister Racing Engines continue to prepare cars and engines for a variety of customers, who demand quality and success. The staff are a blend of experience and youth, investment in facilities and equipment allows a comprehensive range of services for their motorsport and high performance car clientele.
