Embassy Racing entered the Le Mans Series with the WF01 as a self-developed LMP2 prototype powered by the Zytek ZG348, a well-regarded power unit in the class at that time. Pre-season preparation was severely compromised from the outset: parts delivery delays left the team with almost no testing time before the opening round of the 2008 season, meaning the car went into competition largely unproven.
The WF01 made its competitive debut at the opening Le Mans Series round at Catalunya, where two cars were entered. Mario Haberfeld and Warren Hughes shared the #45, while Jonny Kane and Joey Foster drove the #46. The cars qualified 19th and 22nd respectively. Race day brought immediate mechanical trouble when a steering component failed on one car, prompting the team to retire the sister entry as a precautionary measure rather than risk further damage.
Results improved at Monza, where Embassy Racing scored its first points with the WF01, finishing eighth in class. The second car had been running inside the podium positions before stopping with thirty minutes remaining.
The 1000 km of Spa proved disastrous. Foster crashed the #46 on the warm-up lap, and the #45 retired with a recurrence of its earlier mechanical problem, leaving the team with no finishers from the Belgian round.
For the 2008 24 Hours of Le Mans, the team entered a single car with Hughes, Kane and Foster sharing driving duties. The car qualified 24th overall with a time of 3:39.926. During the race an ECU fault was resolved by recycling the unit, but a starter motor failure subsequently cost the team 21 minutes in the pits. Foster then had an accident at the second chicane on the Mulsanne Straight, causing damage to both the front and rear of the car. The WF01 was retired after 17 hours of racing.
The best result of the 2008 season came at the Nurburgring, where Darren Manning and Foster drove the car to 11th overall and fourth in class — the highest career finish achieved by the WF01. At the Le Mans Series season finale at Silverstone the #45 was running in podium positions until Kane missed a red light at the end of the pit lane, receiving a five-minute post-race time penalty that dropped the car to fifth in class. Despite the promising flashes the programme had shown, the team folded two weeks after the Silverstone race.
The WF01 made one final racing appearance at the 2009 Le Mans Series season finale at Silverstone, operated this time by Team WFR with backing from multiple sponsors. Hughes, Manning and Jody Firth drove the car to 14th overall and fourth in class — a respectable farewell for a project that had been cut short by Embassy Racing's closure the previous year.
The Embassy WF01 represents a brief but earnest LMP2 programme undone by a combination of early mechanical misfortune, limited pre-season testing, and ultimately the financial pressures that ended the team's existence. The car never threatened a class podium and completed just one 24 Hours of Le Mans before retirement. Nevertheless its best results — particularly the fourth-in-class at the Nurburgring — demonstrated genuine pace in an LMP2 field that was becoming increasingly competitive during the 2008 Le Mans Endurance Series season.
