The first PRB was delivered to John Ribeiro , a racing driver from Canberra , who won in 1978 the hill-tribe championship of New South Wales . Today, there are several hundred PRB Clubman on Australian roads. The cars are successful in motorsport competitions. In optimized cars an acceleration of 4 s from 0-100 km / h is achievable.

The current PRB Clubman has a monocoque chassis made of aluminum in sandwich honeycomb core construction . The car is only available as a kit ( kit car ) available and must be mounted by the purchaser or the local PRB dealer. The aluminum construction makes the car lighter and more stable.
