[Tom206wrc]

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 !!! :eek: :eek:


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 :D

It seems the Peugeots are already having a go at it:
