The GPVWC Administration is happy to announce it agreed terms with four teams in the Superleague to supply engines to teams in the GPVWC's top-tier Championship for the 2013 season.
With the switch away from established Formula One brands into a new era of team developing their own engines coming for 2013, the GPVWC Administration received seven very interesting proposals from teams at either side of the Superleague spectrum. Weeks of negotiations analysed the ins and outs of all offers, and teams were assessed not only on past success but also on valuable indicators such as reliability, community participation and stability.
It proved very hard to narrow down a very promising field to four deals, but in the end, the GPVWC Administration believes the most appropriate choices were taken.
Constructors' Champions Midnight Motorsportwere the first to be granted a licence to develop their own powerplants, which will be marketed under the Potentia moniker. One of the deciding factors was surely the team's skill in developing the 2012 car which led Lukas Euler and Nick Rowland to a dominating season in the Superleague.
The second deal went to Nordsjøen Racing, the triple World Champions between the years 2007-2011 developing Martex-badged engines for 2013 in an attempt to regain the dominance they so often expressed in the GPVWC's top tier. With development aces Dave Carr-Smith and Lee Morris at the wheel of the car, much is expected of the Italian-Norwegian team.
League stalwarts Woods Racing, boasting one of the most experienced team managers in the GPVWC in Ollie Woods, have already received the green light to produce their Trinity engines; the team, which thrived in 2009 and 2010 when new league features were introduced, believes the new season will similarly provide for the opportunity to fully exploit the new development territories.
The fourth engine deal went to a relative newcomer in the league, Kernow Sport. The Cornish outfit will produce Krevderpowerplants on the back of the expertise brought by highly-decorated driver Mark Wicks - who made his competitive debut in the GPVWC in 2002.
The four engine-producing teams will now start marketing their products heavily in advance of the engine bidding window, scheduled for early January.
