The Pacific Grand Prix team entered 1994 as a new team having begun their designs from the same Adrian Reynard designs that inspired the Benetton B192, B193 and B194. The PR01 gave a very good example of what can be achieved with three years of development because while the Benetton team stormed to the championship with Michael Schumacher, the Ilmor 2175A V10-powered Pacific team struggled to qualify for the vast majority of the races.
First seen in sim racing with GP2 (1996).
