To be fair, I didn't know Prodrive had an office in SoCal (although I was aware of ESX and Rennick).

prodrive does have an office in socal, but they don't do any product development stuff out of there or anything. mainly just marketing and off the shelf selling of parts. i have looked into it in the past and they have no engineering division of any sorts in california.

their main north america office is in michigan which is their "center of excellence: caltalyst technologies"

they have 3 in the UK which consists of their global motorsport headquarters/distribution HQ (Banbury) their automotive technology HQ and proving grounds (warwick) and their engine testing facility (milton keynes)

sales office in germany, special vehicle design center in thailand, and gasoline engine development center in melbourne australia.
