Former racer and brother to current Meteor driver, Allen Ledesma has taken over from Summer Chambers with immediate effect. Meteor have confirmed Chambers' departure as being related to internal matters.
However, we have heard that a violent disagreement between Armos, Chambers and an unnamed member of Peugeot Motorsport took place in an office in the under construction Peugeot Motorsport Factory. Rumours are suggesting that the driver of the newly announced Peugeot Challenge Endurance Team, Nico Marton, is in fact the fiancée of Chambers. We understand, Chambers who is the Team Principal of Challenge, did not surface this when she signed the driver. Armos, the new Head of Peugeot Motorsport, is said not to trust Chambers anymore, apparently believing her decision making needs to be questioned. The record of Marton isn't impressive, this is said to have sent alarm bells ringing as to why Marton was signed by Chambers. As Chambers is the acting Team Principal of Meteor, Peugeot believe they need a strong character at the helm to make sure the team is in a good position for the next year transition. Shouting was heard outside the factory during the night of 31st October and glasses were heard to be smashed. While nobody was injured, it is presumed to have been a very heated argument. This has led to Chambers' resignation from the team with immediate effect. The new Deputy Team Principal is Allen Ledesma, the brother of Giani Ledesma. Allen, a former racer has been in close contact with Meteor this season and is a close friend of Armos and acts as a driver mentor and advisor. He is taking all of Chambers' responsibilities. Chambers is rumoured to be linked to positions with Fun F1, Franklin, Ingram GP and Westwood.
