The Prodrive-run team, which returned to international motor sport last year, ran two DBR9s in the GT1 class for the 2006 Le Mans 24 hours race earlier this month.

KYB’s EPS system specially designed for racing use is fitted to all four cars and, says KYB, it provides more energy-efficient steering than conventional hydraulic power steering systems.
