Spice Engineering

Spice Engineering was a British racing team founded by the driver Gordon Spice with Raymond Bellm in the early 1980s, which became a successful sports car constructor in 1986. It competed in the World Sportscar Championship in Europe and the IMSA GT Championship in North America, working at times with General Motors, Honda and the engine maker Comptech. Its cars carried the SE prefix, for Spice Engineering, followed by the year of construction. The team won the World Sportscar Championship teams title in 1985, 1987 and 1988 and took class wins at Le Mans and Daytona, and it won the 1994 manufacturers championship with Oldsmobile. Gordon Spice and Ray Bellm sold their interests in 1990 to the customer Jean-Louis Ricci. After the major sportscar series collapsed in the early 1990s, plans for road cars and a Formula One team came to nothing and the company closed.
