Check Out Photos of Factory Five Customer Pedro R.'s Mk3 Roadster

Posted on December 23, 2014 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

I met Pedro at our 2009 Factory Five Racing Open House. Pedro and his wife had traveled to Factory Five from the Minneapolis, MN, and were planning on building a car in the Dominican Republic! After the Open House, I invited them to dinner at my house with some Factory Five customers who became friends.

Pedro built his car, and has been tearing up the streets ever since. The first video I ever got from him was in 2010 where he drag raced his car in go-kart form at a local Sant0 Domingo track running 10s!!! He also filmed a really cool video of him and his wife cruising the Formula 1 circuit for the Red Bull Formula 1 race that same year.

Just the other day, I got these beautiful photos of Pedro’s car. The photos were taken by pro-photographer John McFarlane. Check out the photos below and the awesome video from the Formula 1 race. Congratulations, Pedro on a great car and an even better story.
