“Competition in LMP1 will be drastically different to previous years, given the withdrawal of Porsche and new private teams joining.

“We significantly changed and improved our package in recent months and our Enso CLM P1/01 car has been provided with extensively tested updates so that we can expect to be at the top in a competition which is becoming more and more exciting. We are delighted to confirm Oliver Webb as one of our drivers and we will announce the full drivers line-up in the coming weeks”

Webb returns to the team for the third season and is looking forward to getting stuck in to the competition.

“I am excited to having the chance of staying with ByKOLLES Racing for the coming Superseason “ said Webb

“We never had such good possibilities to succeed as today although there will be a fierce opposition in the LMP1-L class like never before and I ‘m proud of being part of it, for which I feel grateful towards the team.

“We intensively tested during winter and we are confident on our package performing well on track.”
