  • Based in St-Pé-de-Bigorre, Nova Proto continues its operations in the former Norma Auto Concept premises. Guillem Roux and Camille Gautré Santos (daughter of Norbert Santos, founder of Norma) created NOVA PROTO, an automotive manufacturer where sports prototypes are designed and built. Since its inception, Nova Proto has handled the maintenance and spare parts for all Norma M20, M20F, and M20FC sports prototypes, as well as historic Norma models. Continuing the story was a natural progression, driven by our desire to create, design, and manufacture handcrafted sports prototypes with top-tier performance, while preserving the essential element: passion. But at Nova Proto, we don't just provide the car! To offer high-quality after-sales service, we travel to numerous events in France and Europe. Whether we're in the paddock or remotely, we remain available to guide you throughout the race weekends. We also offer technical and logistical support in Europe and the USA.

  • I have been involved with motor racing since 1994 when I was just 6 years old with my father sprinting his Jaguar XJS and Ford Falcon and then bought a 1970’s Safari 1300cc clubman which was effectively a prototype based on the Colin Chapman Lotus Seven. This was the start of our love for open prototype style racing cars.

    The passion progressed with the purchase of a Mallock Mk31 1300cc in 1997 which was developed over the years with bodywork and engine size up to 1600cc with many wins and championships. This car was also my first taste of what a ‘real’ race car was in 2004 after previously racing karts for 6 years.

    Since then, in 2011 we bought a Chiron 2L CN which was the start of our new love which was CN Style prototypes. As a father and son team we both wanted to race on track together and an opportunity came up to purchase a 2008 Juno CN 2L ex TFL UK VdeV Car. This was a great success, and I loved this car with many wins and records so in 2015 we purchased the upgraded Spec Juno CN which again has had many victories and a lap record. We had since sold on both the Chiron and 08 Juno and wanted to get back to a 2-car team. Early in 2022 we were looking around for a new CN style car and we came across Jonothan from Aurora Motorsports USA who introduced us to the new Nova Proto which had taken over from Norma for the CN Cars. Everything was exactly what we were after and so we made the decision to invest in a new Nova Proto NP01 Honda Turbo. This is exciting for us personally and as well as our NSW Supersports Category. The ongoing support already has been amazing and as such we are proud to move forward with the latest cars and tech from Nova Proto as well as partner up with Aurora Motorsports to be their authorised Australian dealer as Regulator Motorsports. This will allow Regulator Motorsport to support all existing Australian Norma M20xx and M30 customers and all new Australian customers for used Norma’s and Nova Proto’s to new Nova Proto NP01, NP02 and NP03. Alex is very passionate and knowledgeable about prototypes having grown up with them and raced them for 18 years and is happy to share and assist with all things Norma and Nova Proto from setup, parts and cars or a good old chat.

    Alex is extremely excited for this next chapter in prototype racing in both developing his own Nova Proto NP01 car as well as building the Australian Agency with knowledge and assisting with the growth of the category.
