    WR back with a Zytek engine !!!!

    Hi,


    News just in from Endurance-Info site !!!


    Gérard Welter's team WR is at last comunicating about their return in LMS/Le Mans08...


    The ex-Peugeot designer chief(retired since a few months)will be back in LMP2 class with big new change !!! They will have a new sponsor, but overall, they leave Peugeot as engine supplier and will use a british V8 Zytek instead !!!


    More news to follow in the coming days...



    As a Peugeot fan it's clear I'm disappointed they won't use the make's engine anymore

    For 2011 it'll be an LMP1 with a WR made V8 Diesel engine(using 80% of Peugeot parts), officially announced by the Salini brothers, owners of the team
