John McPhee will stay with Racing Team Germany for the 2016 season a♚head 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 Saxoprint backed squad, McPhee had been in some doubt over th🐽e 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 has "a terrific opportunity" to showcase his talents in what will be his four🐈th full season in the junior grand prix class.

"This year has been a tough one for me, my team-mate [Alexis] Masbou and SAXOPRINT-RTG as a whole," said McPhee. "Butꦍ 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 first half of the year, after a lack of testing hindered his progress on this year's Honda ma꧂chinery.

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 i🔯n pace.

The opportunity to work with Peugeot's technical team was another reason why McPhe🐷e 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 𝐆amassed over that time will prove to be of benefit."
