Ridge is pleased to announce the full integration of Driven International, a specialist racetrack design and masterplanning consultancy, into the teams at Ridge.
Driven International has built an exceptional reputation delivering architecture, civil engineering, and visualisation for motorsport, sports, and leisure destinations worldwide. Their expertise in racetrack design and masterplanning – combined with a deeply personal approach to client relationships – has made them a trusted name for some of the most ambitious motorsport facility projects across the globe.
Their portfolio speaks for itself: landmark projects including the A1 Motor Park in Bulgaria, the Yas Marina Circuit Formula 1 upgrade, and the Mandalika International Street Circuit for MotoGP. And throughout, their approach has remained consistent: creative, technically precise, and built on long-term partnerships. Values that align perfectly with ours.
Following our acquisition of the business, this integration marks the next step in bringing the expertise, reach and people of both firms together under one identity. It significantly strengthens our position as the leading end-to-end motorsport consultancy globally, combining Driven’s racetrack design specialism with Ridge’s multidisciplinary capabilities across architecture, engineering, and project and cost management. Clients of both firms will benefit from a broader service portfolio, seamless delivery, and access to greater technical depth.
Bringing Driven fully into Ridge is a natural progression of a relationship that stretches back over a decade. We’ve long admired their creative vision, specialist expertise and the strength of their client relationships in a sector we’ve been proud to lead since delivering our first Formula 1 headquarters in 1991. Together, we’re uniquely placed to shape the future of motorsport facility development worldwide.
Jolyon Price, Project and Programme Delivery Partner and Executive Group member at Ridge
Our teams have always operated with the same values – quality, ingenuity and a genuine commitment to our clients. This integration brings us fully together, and I’m excited about what that means for the projects and opportunities ahead. Driven’s clients will continue to work with the same people they know and trust, now supported by Ridge’s scale, systems and breadth of capability.
Ben Willshire, former Managing Director at Driven International and now Partner at Ridge
The combined business now includes over 1,500 people across 15 locations in the UK, with an unrivalled integrated offer spanning racetrack design, masterplanning, architecture, engineering, and project and cost management – serving clients across motorsport, sports, and leisure destinations worldwide.
