John McPhee will s✱tay with Racing Team Germany for the 201🧜6 season ahead of the outfit's switch to Peugeot machinery, it has been announced.

Coming to the end of the first of a two-year contract with the Saxopr🃏int b🎉acked squad, McPhee had been in some doubt over the team's plans just over a month ago in Aragon.

However, with new management taking over and the introduction of Peugeot machinery, which is effectively a rebranded Mahindra, the 21-year old Scot believes he h🌱as "a terrific opportunityꦅ" to showcase his talents in what will be his fourth full season in the junior grand prix class.

"This year has been a tough one for me, my t꧑eam-mate [Alexis] Masbou and SAXOPRINT-RTG as a whole," said McPhee. "But looking forwards to 2016, we have a fresh and exciting start, with new management and a new Peugeot-backed bike which provides us all with a terrific opportunity to show what we are made of."

The young Brit has endured a trying 2015, which saw him secure just four top ten finishes in the fi🍷rst half of the year, after a lack of testing hindered his progress on this year's Honda machinery.

A superbly judged tyre gamble resulted in his first grand prix podium in Indianapolis and a switch to the 2014 chassis, 🐽with which he fought for podium places in the final four races a year ago, has seen an overall improvement in pace.

The opport🎉unity to work with Peugeot's technical team was another reason why McPhee decided to stay with the squad and he feels his experience will contribute to a successful campaign.

🦋"I'm really looking forward to working closely with the Peugeot technical and marketing teams through the SAXOPRINT-RTG to develop the new bike. Hopefully my three years spent in the world championship and the experience I've amassed over that time wಞill prove to be of benefit."
