A REPTON engineering firm is celebrating after a racing car using its technology went on to win in this year's Le Mans 24-hour race.
Zytek Engineering supplied parts for the Jota Sport's Zytek Z11SN Nissan, which triumphed in the LMP2 class at the endurance racing event.
Jota's Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey secured the British team's first first Le Mans 24-hour victory, after a battle for first place which went down to the last lap.
The Zytek-Nissan-powered cars of TDS Ligier and G-Drive Ligier also came in second and fifth respectively in the race.
Bill Gibson, Zytek's founder and chairman, said: "We want to congratulate all at Jota Sport – a victory in this prestigious race means so much.
"It reminds us all why we do this, the tension and excitement when the racing is so close is very stimulating and rewarding."
