Where is WR now (2007/08) or even now (2010)?
Does anyone know what's going on with WR this season?
Maybe they cooperate with Peugeot? I've just visited WR site, but there's no any news. |

Last year they announced they will not compete in 2007. They are planning to return with a Diester (French bio-diesel brand?) powered LMP2 in 2008. But if I remember well diesel is not allowed in LMP2, so am not sure if this WR diesel gets on track.

FIRE is 100% right on, check their site where they explain their whole Diester project.

Nice to hear from WR again. I didn't see any photos in the article, or I missed something due to language. Can anyone call out address to photos?
Also, they have a new sponsor--sponsors are never a bad thing---but does this one offer more financial support then in previous years? robert |

Like always the WR cars look different. The previous WR's look better.

It has a very single seater feel. You can almost make out the side pods of an F1 car. Interesting. I don't mind it at all.

These new designs look more and more like thinly veiled formula cars all the time.
