West-Tec to enter Mygale in Britain
Formula 3 constructor Mygale will have a second team in the British championship following confirmation that Team West-Tec will enter at least one of its cars this season
The British team have competed in the Spanish F3 championship for the past two years and will expand into British F3 after entering into a partnership with Mygale, and another for Mugen-Honda engines from supplier Neil Brown.
West-Tec team owner Gavin Wills said: "I think the Mygale chassis showed real potential last year and I'm excited to be able to work so closely with a chassis manufacturer.
"The Mugen-Honda engines that Neil Brown will supply us are, I believe, as least as strong as anything out there and we have a great relationship with them too, built up over a number of years."
Mygale scored its first F3 victories last season with Ultimate Motorsport and boss Bertrand Decoster is pleased to be fielding a second team alongside JTR, following Ultimate's switch to Dallaras.
"I have known Gavin for many years and I know that Team West-Tec will do a good job with the Mygale chassis," said Decoster. "Our 2009 update will bring significant performance gains and we look forward to good results together."
The West-Tec entry is also the only confirmed Mugen-Honda-powered team in the championship class so far for 2009, following multiple race-winning team T-Sport's switch to Volkswagen.
The team hope to announce their first driver later this month.
