Description
Utilising a full carbon fibre monocoque, the EE1 was powered by a naturally-aspirated Judd-supplied V10 mounted longitudinally behind the driver. The gearbox was supplied by Ricardo, in the form of a 6-speed sequential manual; the car comes in at 900kg.The EE1 competed in several rounds throughout the 2008 season, making its debut at the 1000km of Catalunya. Struggling with pace, the team picked up just two points in the five round season.
For the 2008 24 Hours of Le Mans, Epsilon Euskadi entered two cars. This example was #21, piloted by Shinji Nakano, Stefan Johansson and Jean-Marc Gounon.
Qualifying went well placing the car in 15th for its first outing, but whilst the cars looked competitive in the race, mechanical problems forced both cars to retire with #21 completing 158 laps.
Purchased by its current owner after no use in over a decade, this example has recently been treated to a full restoration and rebuild by LMP experts at Pursuit. Recently shaken down and with virtually zero hours on all components, the EE1 is ready to race again once more, eligible for numerous endurance race events.
