John Gaw is the new managing director of Prodrive Motorsport.
The former race car driver will oversee all Prodrive's motorsport operations, including the company's MINI rally and rallycross programmes and its expansion into new series.
Gaw joined Prodrive at the beginning of 2011 as managing director for the Aston Martin Racing team and has since overseen significant growth in the racing business. Under his leadership, Aston Martin Racing won nine World Endurance Championship (WEC) rounds in 2013.
In 2014, Prodrive is looking to expand its activities in the US-based Global Rallycross Championship (GRC) and enter the new FIA World Rallycross Championship, with the new MINI RX, which proved its competitiveness this year.
The company is also looking to move into new motorsport series, including Dakar and Formula E.
"These are exciting times for the business," said Gaw.
