Vanwall's Engine Deal with Pipo Rejected, WEC Faces Tough Decision
Vanwall Racing Team had struck a deal with Pipo Moteurs to use their engine in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship season before their entry application was rejected. The team had a difficult campaign this year with a vehicle that lacked power compared to others in the top class. Despite the rejection, Vanwall owner Colin Kolles confirmed that the Pipo engine will be delivered soon and the team has been working on improvements. The decision to switch engine suppliers also led to ByKolles pursuing a new homologation for their non-hybrid LMH prototype. The future of Vanwall's participation in the championship remains uncertain.
