About Us

RDR Developments was founded by former World Rally Team crew chief Don Woolfield, as he left the climes of factory WRC teams and pursued his passion of restoring classic and modern rally and race cars under his own roof.

As a car builder for Toyota Team Europe in the early 90s, which included 3 world titles with Carlos Sainz, Juha Kankkunen and Didier Auriol. Don built the majority of Auriols 1994 championship winning Toyota Celicas. After this, he worked with Toyota at Le Mans in 1998 & 99.

Following the Le Mans project, Don went on to become the proprietor of a Toyota specialist mechanical maintenance & repair business in Australia, before working as a Mitsubishi Evo specialist at a rally and race prep shop over there.

2016 season saw Don take a move to Germany as a No.1 mechanic on the Hyundai World Rally Team i20, which swiftly led to Don being promoted to workshop foreman/crew chief for 2017 and developing the latest spec of World Rally Car for the team.

After 3 years at Hyundai, Don called time on a career of globetrotting and has settled in Herefordshire UK, where a new chapter begins.
