The V de V Endurance Se🦂ries will pursue its development by introducing in 2017 a unique 1.6 Litre turbo engine, developed by RDM to power the CN prototypes present in Eric Van de Vyver's series.

The conception of these engines, originally Peugeot engines, will be entrusted to RDM, directed by Daniel Fasano and Jꦗean-Pierre Gatti. Based at Annecy, this firm is highly recommended for its expertise in preparing competition turbo engines and has known huge success throughout the different fields of motorsport. Now, constructors can rely on RDM's servic🉐es to decide on the best ways to prepare and fit engines.

A technical team of quali﷽fied staff from RDM will be able to assist competitors at each V de V Endurance Series' event (which is included in the v🌟ery attractive price package). The major advantage of this service is of course to have the option of replacing the ECU at all times.

The V de V Proto Endurance Challenge will thus welꦬcome ꦬa new class from next year, reshuffling the current classes to look as follows:

CNA, previously CN1, reserved for aspirated engines
CNT, reserved for 1.6L turbocharged engines
CN2, reserved for CN prototypes built before 2010
CNF, reserved for CN proto💮types built b☂efore 2007, C3 and CN-F

In addition to these classes, the Prestige class will be maintained, exclusively reserved for driver line-ups including Op🐟en and Gentleman 𓂃drivers.

"After several years of reflection, we've decided to launch a new, more modern power train," Eric Van de Vyver, V de V Sports Director, said. "After 16 years of working with this category, together with our teams and drivers, we made the choice to impose a unique engine/ECU combination - not affiliated with any constructor, goiꦫng against our current practice - with the aim of banishing any recurring doubts and remaining totally impartial.

"I would like tꦆo reiterate however that aspirated engines will not be obsolete; quite the contrary, for the performances of both engines will be identical and we will be extremely cautious of this throughout the development phase. The Honda engine still has a long life ahead of it; the mission of introducing a turbo engine was quite simply to raise the 🃏level of competition in the V de V Proto Endurance Challenge."
