Valiant engines powers securing six customers

2016 Engine Choices have been made by teams this past week and Valiant is very excited to have secured Six teams to supply for the forthcoming year, as well as our manufacturer team Vod:Bul Racing. This is the most of any manufacture in Superleague this season.

Last year was our first jump into the engine market and working with three customer teams who had faith in us we saw a return of seven wins, ten podiums and a Driver World Championship.

This season with the opening up of the rules, we have seen three teams join the Valiant family and all three teams from last year return for more.

Red Archer Virtual Racing Team

We are very proud to be working with such quality teams and look forward to many successful times ahead.
The staff at the factory are already working hard to supply a record number of engines this season where no fewer than 14 Valiant power units to be on the grid at Melbourne. This is more than some manufactures produce all season long!

Manager's comments:

Wopke Hoekstra - Hawkeye Racing Team Manager
"It was a tough decision, but with a new manager and new team, we felt that this was the right way to go."

Christoph Lichtenstein - Green Stripes Racing Team Owner
"With retaining Valiant power I want to build up on the strong base we had last year and am delighted that we managed to get a deal with Valiant done. It will surely be one of the best engine in the field and everybody within the team is delighted to have it working in our cars."

Menno Klont - Edonis Engineering Team Owner
"Edonis decided to stay with Valiant because we think it's the best think to do if we look at the future. In 2015 Valiant gave us a good engine for our debut season and we think in 2016 things will only get better."

Nikos Evangelidakis - Red Archer Virtual Racing Team Owner
"Red Archer is very pleased with the fact that the red/black cars will carry a Valiant engine for one more year. The cooperation among the teams and the final result for last season was exceptional and the Greeks feel that the engine will complete a strong racing package for the new season."

Emanuel Gaczella - Storm Racing Team Co-owner
"It was a tough call, we were always thinking about the budget for our first season, but in the end we choose to go with a proven engine manufacturer. It was also a strategic decision from us, as Vod:Bul offered their assistance in helping us towards 2016!"

Chris Williamson - Nijo Racing Team Owner
"We at Nijo Racing are looking forward to working with our new engine partners at Valiant in the 2016 season. Obviously it's not been an easy decision to break long-standing ties with Trinity, but we felt that a new direction was needed for the team and that the package offered by Valiant marked the best way forward."

The Valiant brand in only its second year has become the Superleague powerhouse of choice.
