Valiant
Valiant is the brand name of engines developed by VBMotorsport. The brand was launched at the beginning of the 2015 season after winning a binning process announced by the league in mid January. Valiant took the place of the now-defunct Krevder engine line.
The first engine to be produced was named the 'Valiant VA15' and, together with Vod:Bul Racing, powers Red Archer, Green Stripes and newcomers Edonis Engineering for the 2015 season.
Despite new rules limiting the contribution customer teams make towards engine development, the Valiant has had a highly successful first year so far. As of the 2015 British Grand Prix, a Valiant-powered car has won three grands prix; two for Vod:Bul and one for Red Archer.
