Libra came to life in the ‘70’s and has continued to build, maintain and compete in racing and rallying ever since. The name LIBRA started in 1970 after John Buffum and Steve Behr’s 12th O/A finish in the 1969 Monte Carlo rally. Since both men were ‘libras’ the company name seemed appropriate.
After some racing exploits in 1970-1974, in Porsche 914/6, Ford Escort and BMW CSL, the main focus turned to rallying in 1975. Starting with Porsche 911, the manufacturers involved included Triumph, Peugeot, Audi, Hyundai and finally Mitsubishi.
In the 38 years that the National Rally Championship has existed in the United States, cars prepared by LIBRA RACING have won the overall title 21 times!!
We want to thank Antoine L’Estage and Nathalie Richard for completing the ‘hat trick’ in 2010 - winning the overall Rally America, Canadian and North American championships with their Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X.
Since we built the Lancer in Dec ‘08/Jan ’09, the car has started 23 rallies; has finished 22 and has won 9 !!
Don't hesitate to call John Buffum should you have a question or need something. In addition to a worldwide network of parts, John with 30 years of rallying under his belt is more than qualified to answer any rallying question.
